On Saturday Night Live, The Bachelor is Bland and Tina Fey Returns as 'Crazy' Sarah Palin
LatestThe commentary went the easy route: Palin is crazy. “She’s a firecracker. She’s a real pistol,” Hammond’s Trump says before adding, “She’s crazy, isn’t she?”
“I hope nobody’s allergic to nuts, because we got a big one here,” he continues. “She’s two Corinthians short of a Bible,” Hammond said, referencing Trump’s own confusing speech at Liberty University. Fey’s impression always works because she seizes right on the spectacle of Palin’s public persona, but the crazy bit felt a bit cheap; particularly since it positioned Trump here as the voice of reason.
The rest of the episode, hosted by Ronda Rousey with musical guest Selena Gomez, was otherwise pretty unremarkable. The sketch “Bland Man,” a spoof of The Bachelor, was the episode’s other standout, it was a pretty accurate interpretation of the show’s standard narrative.
