Saturday Night Live is officially back -- and its first episode on the 2024 TV schedule had Gen Z swooning with Jacob Elordi in the hosting spot. While he had younger viewers finally tuning in to the variety show, critics and other SNL fans weren’t quite feeling this week's sketches. As an avid fan of the show, I have to agree with the latter, as the episode focused on Elordi’s good looks instead of challenging him comedically. What’s even more disappointing, is the Season 49 host did get to do something different with a hilarious parody of Pimp My Ride, but the sketch was cut for time.
The Please Don’t Destroy sketch in question was a spoof of the hit MTV series Pimp My Ride. Elordi plays a 30 Rock janitor who is getting reprimanded by his boss for being late to work. After overhearing that he’s having car trouble, Ben, John, and Martin reach out to a local body shop and pimp out his van. Check it out for yourself:
