If
its intention was to prove that Kerry Washington brings a spark of
energy to most anything she touches, it succeeded. If its intention
was to prove that Jay Pharoah has grown into more than just a skilled
impressionist — and judging by previous seasons, not without a
considerable amount of work — then it succeeded. Further, it
succeeded in addressing – but only addressing – the elephant in
the room that is the lack of diversity in its cast.
SNL proved
that it can still do what it has always done: slyly address an issue
with comedy and confidence, without feeling the need to offer any
real solutions or insight as to how to take care of the problem.
Perhaps Al Sharpton said it best (what???): “What have we learned
from this…as usual, nothing. Live from New York, it’s Saturday
night!” Let’s hope he won’t be right forever.
Last
night’s episode was full of sketches that left you confused but
intrigued, maybe not laughing your hardest but probably wanting more.
Diversity was the word on the tip of everyone’s tongue, including
the show itself’s, going
into this week’s episode. After Kenan
Thompson’s remarks to TV
Guide a
few weeks ago that the lack of a black female cast member since Maya
Rudolph left the show in 2007 is due to the show not being able to
find black female comedians who “are ready,” the choice to have
Kerry Washington host this week seemed appropriately timed.
