It was barely a month ago that Kate McKinnon dressed up like an old man doctor and paid a visit to Saturday Night Live Weekend Update, only to ratchet up the funny when she broke character and got (amusingly) real about 2020. Now she’s at it again.
Dr. Wenowdis returned to SNL‘s comedy news segment on Saturday, and once again, she couldn’t keep a straight face. Maybe on purpose? The doctor’s October appearance went from perfectly fine to gut-bustingly funny once McKinnon broke. This new sketch does pretty much the same thing — it makes jokes about the pandemic and our hell year until Kate can’t take it anymore and drops the act — with the same results.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Kate is a seasoned pro and this is funny stuff either way.
