Last night, the SNL crew put a fresh twist on their pre-Mother’s Day show tradition. Instead of diving straight into their usual sketches, they kicked off with a heartwarming ode to their moms. Kenan Thompson set the tone by welcoming his own mother to Studio 8H, sparking laughs with some classic self-deprecating humor.
But the real comedy gold came when Maya Rudolph graced the stage. Known for her hilarious performances and being a mom of four (or so she claims!), Rudolph got a surprise from Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman. They didn’t just see her as a mom; they hailed her as a "mother" and a "30 Rock legend," stirring up nostalgia from the Y2K era.
Of course, the night wouldn’t be complete without a touch of satire. Mrs. Thompson, in her deadpan style, threw a curveball, quipping about expecting to see Stormy Daniels instead of the usual Mother’s Day banter. It was a moment that perfectly balanced warmth and wit, reminding us why SNL remains a Saturday night staple.
With so much heaviness in the world, this switch-up was a breath of fresh air. Instead of diving into the usual political satire, the SNL crew took a moment to celebrate the unsung heroes of the show – their moms. It was a fitting tribute filled with laughter and love, proving once again that SNL knows how to keep us entertained, even on the eve of Mother’s Day.
