Kumail Nanjiani teaches a buffoon about climate change in this cut SNL sketch

Kumail Nanjiani, who hosted last week, plays Dr. Robert Khan, a climate scientist—and “one of the highest-grossing doctors in the climate world,” so he must make bank—who’s misidentified as a “meteorologist” by Blake Vilanti (Beck Bennett), said CW actor. He initially thinks he might actually have been invited on Fixing Earth With Blake Vilanti to talk climate change, but he spends most of the time teaching Vilanti/Bennett basic science facts. Nanjiani patiently plays tutor for the first half, but finally snaps when Vilanti continues to push his “fish are drowning” theory. Self-obsessed stars frequently pop up in SNL sketches, and while this bit deservedly didn’t make the cut, Nanjiani’s double take at being asked to define “ocean” is pretty great.
