That Show – Best Monologue Ever??
Manage episode 451159325 series 3484936
In the latest That Show…, Nick revisits a standout episode of Saturday Night Live that aired on November 21, 2009, when actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt hosted for the first time. This episode is legendary for containing what many consider one of the best opening monologues in SNL history. Gordon-Levitt wowed audiences by recreating Donald O’Connor’s iconic “Make ‘Em Laugh” number from the classic musical Singin’ in the Rain, delivering the routine with incredible skill and energy. It’s breathtaking to watch and remains one of the all-time greatest monologues.
Alongside this unforgettable performance, Nick highlights some of the best sketches from that night, including a riotous edition of What’s Up With That?, the debut of Secret Word featuring Kristen Wiig’s hilarious Mindy Grayson, and a talk show parody with Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Gordon-Levitt, and a spot-on David Matthews as Ozzy Osbourne. All of this fantastic comedy leads up to that unbelievable opening monologue that left audiences speechless. [Ep98]
