What makes Saturday Night Live one of a kind is also what makes it so consistently inconsistent. By putting the show together in a week and filming it live on Saturdays (and, in the last four episodes of this season, live in every time zone), SNL can summon the impressive, ramshackle charms of live theater even when it fails to produce a reliable laugh. One such example can be seen in this new video from the late-night juggernaut, which depicts Kate McKinnon’s breakneck transformation from her Forrest Gumpian take on Jeff Sessions to the revolting Shud the Mermaid. And us former theater kids thought a simple outfit change was tough.
