Yeah I noticed that aswell I don't understand why they couldn't set the marks so they weren't right infront of them OR was that the joke?? Funny AF all the same.. THE WOMAN IS A DEVIL 😈
The "art" was spectacular -- and it's wonderful watching Cecily struggle not to laugh. Jake isa perfect foil to her over-the-top drama! ... This couple tortures their hapless guests.
Fantastic parody of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Cecily did an excellent job of channeling Elizabeth Taylor. Makes me want to watch the actual movie again.
Right when I saw the thumbnail, I recognized this from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and could not wait to see Cecily Strong channel Liz Taylor. She did a marvelous job and Jake as Richard Burton was great too!
Cecily looks so beautiful in every era they make her up into, and then she kills it looking like Cathy Anne, she's so great! And singing too, love her!
As silly and ridiculous as it was, the reveal of the first piece of "art" actually cracked me up. And I kind of want the last one, now that it's finished.
I am really surprised at how deeply & consistently Gyllenhall committed here. And Cecily Strong's "Elizabeth Taylor doing American Accent" is PERFECT!!!!!!! I mean I'm really impressed, she hits all of ET's beautifully odd intonations LOL!
Fab. That cardigan looks like an exact replica of the one Burton wore in the movie. And the glasses too! Cecile does a great impression of Liz Taylor- including cleavage! Ha! Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Loved it
So good. I cannot believe how unbelievably good Gyllenhaals episode is. I really didn't even want to watch. I didn't expect much and now I feel guilty. Lol
@@DARWINZOO idk this episode seemed to have more consistent decent writing. I wonder if it is bc of Gyllenhaals input? I think the guest host gets to brainstorm in some of the writing of the skits? Idk.
"Sit down or I will sit you down" this sketch wins just for these awesome line deliveries. Cecily is genuinely one of the best "support players" in the history of SNL. Always makes the host look better.
Great job by Cecily and Jake. I had to go and watch "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe?", and was awed by how closely they portrayed Elizabeth Taylor and the great Richard Burton. Cecily is pure Gold and her talent is exceptional.
Especially when she plays these arch characters, just brilliant. Add in the great delivery by Jake and it's a great sketch despite it kinda drifting into the abyss by the end 😂
What a great switch from the pretend son they never had, "we were going to have one of them" to the conceit of the art. Excellent reproduction of set design. Jake really picks up some iconic Burton faces. Great eyes, too.
Switch from what to what? Are you saying it starts implying they wanted a human child and now we're to understand they wanted a puppy? Or that they've embellished upon who's afraid of Virginia woolf by making the hypothetical offspring gender neutral
@@visible2NE1one0nUtube if you know the play it begins with the son alive, right? George warns Martha not to go there. In this version there is no suggestion that they have a son, rather that they wanted one
Good job on the costumes and set for this SNL take on "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." The paintings were hysterical. Cecily really rocked the Elizabeth Taylor character, as did Chloe Fineman for Sandy Dennis's role. It defies comprehension why this was cut and the Trend Forecasters bit was left in.
I don't remember what it was now, but there was one sketch that stood out to me as having a really high school level concept. This one had great elements but didn't quite fly, but it was better than that one. The head writer changed recently and they are going more with weirdness now, but that one I can't remember wasn't one of those either.
I think the dog art in this sketch which is said to be unfinished may serve as a commentary on the rest of the sketches in this episode. Do y'all agree with my analysis, or is it "TOO DOOG!"
I thought it was just me. I expected them to call it out after two or three iterations in their signature style where one of the normie characters asks 'wait, are you saying dark or dog?'
Omg Cecilys intro for this skit is Emmy nom quality!!!! She is channeling Taylor so well here and Gyllenhaals Burton is so good. Her laugh ❤ I Love this skit-minus the dog art. Lol reminds me of me and my partner.
"It was going to have a thought bubble that says 'it's a living '." LOL!!! Sheer f*#@;!! Genius!!! Here's to all those who make sacrifices for art! Love it!!! Cecily and Jake too! Wardrobe should get an award here, they're both smokin'!
Jake Gyllenhaal as host was one of the better SNL shows. Cecily is the only reason I ever watch SNL anymore, she is awesome in any role she's given. Whatever SNL pays her it's not enough.
I would have easily picked this sketch to be on instead of most of the ones that made it to air. I don't think they did a good job writing for him at all. But he certainly was a good sport about it -- apparently agreeing to everything they pitched.
@@annangel4828 Albee's intention was, "I work so hard on my art, staying up nights, only to have it shown before it's finished... Sometimes it makes me wanna....tell Lorne to find another head writer!"
She actually played Elizabeth Taylor on the "Joan Rivers Heaven Celebrity Roast" sketch from season 40. However, that was in the dress rehearsal version. The live show version referred to the Elizabeth Taylor impression as one for Ava Gardener, though I'm pretty sure there were similarities between them, in the same way they had Jayne Mansfield be like Marilyn Monroe.
"Let me show them!!"
"It's not finished you childish shrew!!"
*Meanwhile, the painting is fully facing Chloe and Andrew lmao*
RIIIIIIIIIIGHT 🤣😂🤣👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏻👏🏿👏🏾🤣😂🤣😂🥰
I was going to post just that,lol
Lmaoi know right!!!!!!!!
Yeah I noticed that aswell I don't understand why they couldn't set the marks so they weren't right infront of them OR was that the joke?? Funny AF all the same..
THE WOMAN IS A DEVIL 😈
i think he meant to say childless shrew and mispoke
Cecily looks fantastic in this era of costume - and she is a talented woman. Love the chemistry between Jake and Strong.
Cecily’s talent is one of the main reasons I watch SNL
She's so beautiful and looks awesome, dark hose are such a sexy item.
Maybe she'll read this and fall in love with you
The "art" was spectacular -- and it's wonderful watching Cecily struggle not to laugh. Jake isa perfect foil to her over-the-top drama! ... This couple tortures their hapless guests.
Cecily : *slaps Jake*
Jake : Ughh the devil is a woman !
Fantastic parody of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Cecily did an excellent job of channeling Elizabeth Taylor. Makes me want to watch the actual movie again.
It was a bit like "Shirley 2020" too!
@Sean Lawrence 👍🏻🙏
Right when I saw the thumbnail, I recognized this from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and could not wait to see Cecily Strong channel Liz Taylor. She did a marvelous job and Jake as Richard Burton was great too!
That's no parody lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Movie holds up
Cecily looks so beautiful in every era they make her up into, and then she kills it looking like Cathy Anne, she's so great! And singing too, love her!
You know you don't have to keep commenting on your own videos with these fake accounts, Cecily. We love you for who you are.
Except maybe not Cathy Anne lol
Cecily is the freaking queen. So good in everything she does.
“You started this the day we met” “the day the sun went out!” 😂😂😂😂 definitely using this line in that exact voice
😂
Same lol. Of course she'd be confused at first and I'd be trying not to laugh
I was like, Zamnnnnn BURN! 🤣😂😂😂
Create your own she won't be mad at copycat.
“Photos are art too” deserved at least half a laugh
As long as they are finished.
Tell that to Norman Rockefeller, hahaha
As silly and ridiculous as it was, the reveal of the first piece of "art" actually cracked me up. And I kind of want the last one, now that it's finished.
So true! I’d buy it.
P.S. Say hi to Kramer for me!
I really loved the dog with the afro 😂
I wonder what they did with the "art pieces" after this skit, like did they keep it in storage?
The last one honestly is art, and I don't know why. The dog's expression, the way he's slouching. There's a masculine energy coiled up in there
@@williamferguson8543😊😊😊 «
Man the moment Cecily is leaving the show I'm going to be real sad because man she is quite the MVP.
Kate McKinnon. Cecily Strong is OK though
@@voteZDLR Meh. Kate plays the same 3 characters in everything now
Cecily is a genius
Cecily Strong really is incredible. So perfect.
Kate Mckinnon is bottom tier when it comes to women on the show. Aidy and Cecily carry
I am really surprised at how deeply & consistently Gyllenhall committed here. And Cecily Strong's "Elizabeth Taylor doing American Accent" is PERFECT!!!!!!! I mean I'm really impressed, she hits all of ET's beautifully odd intonations LOL!
"Thank you professor Williams and your wife Vanessa Williams"🤣😂 his delivery is so funny
She saved the best the best for last.
Fab. That cardigan looks like an exact replica of the one Burton wore in the movie. And the glasses too! Cecile does a great impression of Liz Taylor- including cleavage! Ha! Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Loved it
Plus the shrieking & accepted syllables
Tone of endlessly being disappointed, perhaps when she had no right
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite
Personally I think Jake has the better cleavage, love that chest!
Fd
The hottest, hammiest adaptation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf around.
So good. I cannot believe how unbelievably good Gyllenhaals episode is. I really didn't even want to watch. I didn't expect much and now I feel guilty. Lol
@sound pilates and yoga where he failed I think it was the writers (per the norm)
I don’t know. I thought the Hamsters in the other Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf sketch were even hotter.
@@DARWINZOO idk this episode seemed to have more consistent decent writing. I wonder if it is bc of Gyllenhaals input? I think the guest host gets to brainstorm in some of the writing of the skits? Idk.
@@soundpilatesandyoga8531 hmmm. Good point
Gotta love it when Cecily so clearly enjoys being in a sketch.

I just love Cecily in every sketch.
She's always so loud though 🤣
She’s the best
Especially when she plays these arch characters, just brilliant. Add in the great delivery by Jake and it's a great sketch despite it kinda drifting into the abyss by the end 😂
Jake and Cecily’s acting is really good. She does an amazing Elizabeth Taylor.
Cecily's run on SNL is legendary.
she was the strongest of her era.. in fact its in her very name!
The all-time great. Up there with the very best.
What a great switch from the pretend son they never had, "we were going to have one of them" to the conceit of the art.

@@DARWINZOO it's coming back to me now
The best part is that someone had to actually create these pieces of art for the show.
Wish they showed this during the actual show. This is a great throwback with wonderful performances! Jake and Cecil are fabulous!

@@emjayay what the heck are you talking about?
I like how much Andrew is in sketches now
same
Dimukes rules.
It’s cause they lost Beck
@@Matt-xc6sp I think Alex is taking Becks spot in sketches now.
@@Frayste those two were basically interchangeable to begin with, there’s still a void
Cecily’s Elizabeth Taylor accent is on point and Jake is John Hamm caliber funny
I thought it was Hamm in the thumbnail
How is no one picking up on the "too dark" being pronounced "too dog" lmao 3:40
I thought it was just me. I expected them to call it out after two or three iterations in their signature style where one of the normie characters asks 'wait, are you saying dark or dog?'
So I'm convinced Cecily told Lorne she'd come back this season only if every other episode had a dog-themed sketch.
These are my favorite types of Cecily characters. ❤️❤️❤️ She does bursting with repressed resentment and dreams so well lol
Jake Gyllenhaal is another great SNL host because he is just up for anything, no matter how ridiculous 😅. I love it!
Exactly!❤😂
“Ahh The Devil is A Woman”😂😂
I need to use that
@@seanraines5871 that’s funny as hell😂
He grabs her arm SO slow😂😂😂😂 00:54
This has been hands-down the most off-the-wall bonkers episode of Saturday Night Live ever
WHY WAS THIS CUT FOR TIME??? this is perfect. also cecily is so stunning in this look
Wow, Cecily and Jake acting skills are light years ahead of us, so method
Love the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf parody! Kudos to the designers, cast and crew. Looks fantastic! 😊💙🖤✨🥃🥂
JAKE IS SO FINE IN THIS OH MY GODDD
I think it’s time cecily gets her well deserved Emmy.

I Know right! Even tho that filmed emotional scarred and drained me
Brilliant sketch. Brillliant Jake and Cecily.
Chloe Fineman is such a bonny wee lassie. Just lovely, and talented.
"IT'S NOT FİNİSHED!"😂😂
They didn't air this? One of the better things I've seen from SNL in a long time!
i'm dying... i havent laughed over a sketch like that in a LONG time.
This puts Velvet Buzzsaw in a whole different light: imagine if these paintings were used in that movie instead!
I always love the one REALLY weird one. The chaos fits the times we live in so well.
“It was an honor to get a dinner invitation from the dean…”
“Junior dean!”
Sounds like my ex 😆
That witch lol
So much bitterness in that extra adjective 🤣
Jeeze Louise, I could watch this all day. His face at the end was straight Bubble Boy.
"It's a living" i can't, i just can't
Absolutely loved this performance. So over the top, but perfectly done
Omg Cecilys intro for this skit is Emmy nom quality!!!! She is channeling Taylor so well here and Gyllenhaals Burton is so good. Her laugh ❤ I Love this skit-minus the dog art. Lol reminds me of me and my partner.
"Who's afraid of severe over-acting?" -- my Lord, this is brilliant!!
Jake's acting is superb. He is one of the best we got this generation
I LOVE Cecily and Jake going toe to toe like this
I have trouble drawing hands.
Cecilia was so good in this, from the voice to the mannerisms
What a lovely couple. You see how much they love each other even if they never had a baby. There are many couples like this.
How did this cut but the Doc Holiday sketch aired? The fun Jake and Cecily were having was infectious.
Skits like this prove the SNL crew is a bunch of theatre nerds and cinephiles lol. Love the parody.
Ok but how much is the dean selling those dog portraits for cuz they're good!!!
@The SNL Network: First dibs on the dog with the fannypacks --
Junior Dean
Love a Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf reference! Cecily always steals the door- she was chewing through the scene like Liz herself!
This sketch was better than half of the ones in the actual show imo
Well they aren't finished yet.
@@visible2NE1one0nUtube Good comeback! 🤣
i love jake so much.
Jake shows us his great versatility.
He is one of the finest and most versatile actors around...
Here’s why we can’t have a baby!
*holds up painting of a dog on the toilet*
Yodapug. Artistic merit, it has.
'The day the sun went out' 🤣😂
The Art, is actually really good.👍
The difference it makes when the host is an actuall actor
"It was going to have a thought bubble that says 'it's a living '." LOL!!! Sheer f*#@;!! Genius!!! Here's to all those who make sacrifices for art! Love it!!! Cecily and Jake too! Wardrobe should get an award here, they're both smokin'!
Jake Gyllenhaal as host was one of the better SNL shows. Cecily is the only reason I ever watch SNL anymore, she is awesome in any role she's given. Whatever SNL pays her it's not enough.
Jake and Cecily are great together😂
the last one was the best the bulldog is sooo cute he is actually talented!
I love the straight line deliveries
Man, I'm excited to see Quinto in the LA production of Woolf later this month, but I'd buy tickets to see Gyllenhaal in a heartbeat.
Edward Albee is looking up at this an dying laughing.
“Looking up”?!?!?!?!?! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Cecile is great. I never tire of her.
As soon as I saw the costumes and layout of the house, I knew exactly what this was a paradoy of. Great stuff.
what is it a parody of?
I would have easily picked this sketch to be on instead of most of the ones that made it to air. I don't think they did a good job writing for him at all. But he certainly was a good sport about it -- apparently agreeing to everything they pitched.
Jake and Jonah are so awesome
Love love this Liz & Burton spin ...
Now I NEED to see Cecily Strong star in a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Lost it at the "Bob Ross" styled dog painting w/that fro. . .OMG! XD
The yoda painting with the pup face in it was so funny 😂😂
Just sell them as nfts man…
Gotta admit...I was surprised at Jake and Cecily's acting abilities. I know it's comedy but damn, they can act.
are you joking
@@liloa03 #TROLL
You do know Jake is an actor, right?
Junior Dean of the Fine Arts Progam: "The Devil is a wombman!"

Lol😂😂😂 The self portrait!! It looks so similar to him😂
The dog wearing 3 Fanny packs almost killed me.
I like the fluffy bushes and the happy little trees!--Bob Ross. & me too!
Didn't he do a painting of a bunch of dogs sitting around a poker table playing cards as well?
Yes and "Le Velveete de Elveese"
Makes me think of Sam in Cheers. He loved the dogs playing poker art 🤣
He did, but it’s not finished.
OMG I kinda want to buy the dog reading a newspaper while on the toilet pic. So cute and funny!
I had the privilege of being in the cast of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”and I’m unsure how many people get the reference. It is brilliant!
The melodrama! I am loving this.
Jake really enjoys comedy 😂
He's hilarious! ❤
Wonderful "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" vibe.
