- Another problem with the show is how it deals with the immediacy of social media. A lot of the jokes it made have already played out on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok. “Rooftop Bar,” the second segment of the night that focused on men’s inability to respectively or coherently communicate with women, was somehow more of a failure than the first. Even in bad ones like “Charmin Bears” and “Send Something Normal,” he manages to find some level of humor. Best sketch of the night It was pointless, almost exclusively relying on fecal humor and played-out family dynamics, and the climax appeared to just be Teller and Bowen Yang dancing in bear costumes.

Miles Teller Crushes Peyton Manning Impression On 'SNL' (OutKick)

Miles Teller's Peyton Manning impression is scary good. Teller appeared as Manning when he hosted "Saturday Night Live."

“Saturday Night Live” and a lot of other entertainment options have turned to junk and suffered serious brain rot thanks to politics. The writers also acknowledged that people have grown tired with the political nonsense and preaching. Miles Teller nailed every single part of that impression.

Miles Teller Lives out Childhood Dream in 'SNL' Monologue (Collider.com)

In his Saturday Night Live monologue, Miles Teller lived out a literal childhood dream, and he brought the home video to prove it.

What was so wonderful about his monologue though is that it was made clear that Teller loves Saturday Night Live. Something that Teller said in his monologue because he did say that it is not every day that you make a movie that pleases both the military community as well as the gay community (because yes, Top Gun: Maverick does also include a homoerotic scene on the beach. His monologue talked a lot about Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun that brought back Tom Cruise as Maverick, a fighter pilot with a need for speed.

Saturday Night Live: Miles Teller heads up a hit-and-miss season ... (The Guardian)

The comedy show returns with a large portion of its cast gone and a patchy series of skits poking fun at Nicole Kidman, BeReal and Herschel Walker.

The final sketch of the night, Caribbean Queens, is a resort and spa talk show hosted by two fun-loving, hard drinking and Billy Ocean-obsessed gals (Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner). His family is overcome with pride and joy, only to be crushed when Toby reveals that he doesn’t want to earn a BFA (Bachelor of Flushing Arts), but that he wants to dance instead. At the swanky Cloud Bar, Teller and Day star as day traders looking to pick up “two fineys”. A commercial for Charmin sees the family of blue, bathroom-obsessed bears take a break from celebrating their beloved toiletries when son Toby gets a letter of acceptance from Toilet Paper College and (or TCP). They utterly eviscerate a run-of-the-mill Trump/Mar-a-Lago sketch (“Never seen that before,” Peyton scoffs), running it down for its smugness, clumsiness, “desperate reach for relevancy”, and “gratuitous stunt casting” (Sean White shows up, as does Jon Hamm to jaw with Teller over who the bigger celebrity is between them). It is probably too much to hope this is any kind of mission statement moving forward, but hey, the first step to recovery is admitting you’ve got a problem.
