We normally think of Saturday Night Live’s topical sketches as being about politics or celebrities doing something crazy, but now and again, the weather is just too noteworthy not to comment on. We got a good reminder of that this week after Weekend Update decided to kick it to Sarah Sherman as a correspondent to talk about how ridiculously cold and snowy it has been in much of the country. Her report included some shots at anchor Colin Jost (which she loves to do) and a surprise 30 Rock cameo, but it was her scolding of the audience that I can’t get enough of.
During the three minute segment that featured Sherman desperately trying to end it as quickly as possible since she was outside and it was cold, the comedian took off her fun food jacket to reveal a party dress with a lower neckline than we’d normally see her in. It got some light applause, but instead of continuing with the sketch, she decided to rip the audience for not giving the reveal a bigger reaction.
