Next time James McAvoy comes on the show they need to do this skit again but they went on vacation somewhere different and they have completely different get ups and accents 😂
This one was waaaay better than the Seth Meyers Cuuba sketch ... it was refreshing to see Seth couldn’t reeeally say Cuba wrong, he was trying real hard to be a dick

melvina628 it’s the blonde one lol she is sooooo funny. Every sketch she’s in!!! Even if they’re bad, she gives it 100% and always holds her shit!! Aidy (the chubby one) and Cecily Strong (not in this skit) as well. These three are Charlie’s angels lol...of Charlie was Kate McKinnon
@jtreynol I can see that. And I know that's what they're supposed to be doing. However in my experience working in the French Quarter my whole career they think we're going to speak like we're from Alabama or Georgia. They think we're supposed to have that thick country accent. Or the Swamp People accent hahaha #weaintcajunhere
“Her boobs swung wide...one pointing east, one pointing straight up.” 😂 no wonder he couldn’t keep it together 😂 Edit: Oh damn, I just checked this comment 5 years later 😂 thanks for the likes y’all. I love that we all collectively laughed at this part
For those who keep griping that James' New Orleans accent is bad and that's not what y'all sound like, that's the point, he's not trying to do a proper New Orleans accent, he's doing a tourist's impression of New Orleans so it SHOULDN'T be perfect. ✌
The tourist impression is actually more accurate than many New Orleans natives. Many don't fully appreciate the exotic, romantic nature of their own culture. They are likely to see the TV series Treme as more authentic than *The Big Easy.* But then diarrhea is authentic, in a sense, and more desirable than the Third World quality of Treme. Yes, New Orleans has become a human garbage dump full of crime and dishonesty, but we can hope that it can return to its more uplifting heritage.
This is one crazy skit! Two standout moments is James actually trying to visualize Heidi's description of the swaying breasts and the difficulty of concealing his laughter. I really enjoyed James as a host this weekend. I hope they have him back.
Heidi KILLED it! The concept wasn't the cleverest but the script itself was good and the delivery rocked. I don't blame James for breaking (while being a presh cinnamon roll)
Not really. Kate McKinnon would have had us rolling out of our seats in laughter. Heidi is a bit player and will never amount to anything more. Google "Laraine Newman".

I love that they brought back this Heidi going on vacations sketch 😂 it was funny with Cuba, but here it’s even better thanks to James McAvoy cracking up !
Didn't grow up there but spent a lot of time there. Probably my favorite American city. I have never heard anyone but fools like these two call it Nawlins.
Yes!! Its annoying when someone asks that or they ask for the reason you don't have an accent. No we don't ride horses and not all Texans have an accent.
Same. I just love it when dudes from New Jersey or Philadelphia explain to me all about how I'm pronouncing the name of my hometown incorrectly. Even when I've made it clear that I'm from NOLA, I still get lectured on my "improper" pronunciation, and it's nearly always by someone from the Northeast or California. I also love it when people insist I'm not really from NOLA because I don't have a southern accent. It ain't my fault my people sound like really stoned yet friendly New Yorkers, nor is it my fault that Hollywood never bothers to depict our real accents in films.
@@jmtigerfan4765 to be fair, there were definitely alligators in the canal next to the pool where I used to swim in the summer. A couple of kids used to occasionally capture baby alligators from that canal and put them in the pool as a prank too.
Kevin Spacey does not have a Southern accent. He grew up in New Jersey and California. He went to Julliard. He has lived much of his adult life in New York, California, and Maryland.
I was born and raised in New Orleans for almost 16 years, and after living in some small city in Mississippi for 2 years now, Kenan is exactly how it feels to talk to tourists
Omg James couldn't keep a straight face lol!! Too hilarious! :D Keenan was having a hard time keeping it together too I noticed lol. Skits where the cast can't hold it together are the FUNNIEST lol
I live in New Orleans. This is great. We don’t say Nawlins. We pronounce it New Orlins. We do laugh when people overemphasize the Southern accent in movies and tv.
“authentic n’olens magic baby” the crack in his voice was everything
That was my favorite part
Nawlins
His true accent ever so gently starts to break through
In this sketch, James McAvoy sounds like Mathew McConaughey (nawlens)!
Yeah😂😂😂
I'm from New Orleans and Kenan is literally me when I talk to tourists
So y'all ever been to Nawlins?
Yupp...all we do is eat beignets, crawdad etouffe, go jazz funerals, and pass out beads in August...
Amen to that. I was born and raised in New Orleans and I've never seen a tenth of the stereotypical portrayals on TV.
You talkin' bout 'Nawlins, Lila? You just have to go!
Lila Singley people should never talk about New Orleans to New Orleanians
James McAvoy trying to hide his laugh is the best part
It's due to the fact that the sketch is not funny.
absolutely.!!!!!
It’s so great when a sketch is funny enough to make even the cast crack up
@@afisemenaborevlaka48 I think it was because he messed up 'jumbo' for 'gumbo'

Maybe make it where they went back to nawlins

When I lived there, four people I knew were victims of violent crime in less than 18 months.
That part is totally accurate.

The fact that James is able to still deliver his lines while cracking up is amazing and made it even funnier
james breaking made this skit 1000x funnier XD
Emily W I honestly didn't notice lol
You know it's funny when the actors are laughing
Almost made Heidi and Melissa break.
Whenever people break I find it like a million times funnier
This is how Michael Scott would act if he went to Nawlins.
You mean Caleb CrawDad ,I do declare!
True 😂
😂💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is exactly how he would act, I do declare.
James can’t keep it together and it’s honestly the sexiest character break I’ve seen on SNL.
Samuel Tillman what.....?
Full fanny flutters!
100% agree. I'm a gay woman but he's one of my few "exceptions". He was so cute.
Absolutely-he is my all time favorite. I can’t even talk about him around my husband-I’m that smitten with James.
For real.
The Jumbo Gambalaya joke was so under appreciated. Some next level troll play on words there

I think u meant Gumbolaya🤣😂🤣.... that's the funniest part I swear
I’m from Europe, can someone please explain?
@@FlashakaViolet it's jambalaya and gumbo....he mixed the words up... Jumbo and Gumbolaya
I don’t think he did that on purpose. Which makes it even funnier
James McAvoy is amazing at accents.
Obviously not New Orleans though because he did not even come close to what we sound like
@@amyquezada3374 But that's what people, even some people who have visited, THINK we sound like.

Dear god the accuracy of the “nawlins” tourist is insane, being from New Orleans this is fucking great.
I love how the people who don't get this skit don't realize that's themselves lmao
It's like people coming to Maine where I live and talk to me about "Banger".
James laughing is the best part.
“Correcto mundo pah-pah” that was too hilarious 😂
This is completely foolishness and I love it.
3:49 the way he looked at her😍😍
James McAvoy is sooooo sexy in this skit. I mean he’s sexy period but damn does he look fine here
Esteban Miranda agreed 😍❤
He kicks ass at that accent...but the outfit...nah lol looks like Jason Mraz, he looks way better in his tight fitting t-shirts 😍
Mmhhmmmm
It's that sexy, Nawlins vibe he has.
I know right!!!????
"You must've had the jumbo"
"Im sorry gumbolaya"😂😂😂💀

How about some praline and andouille chowder?
This joke was totally lost on most of the live studio audience.

I don't know how he kept it together. lmbo!
I've seen you twice tonight

That's because he's laughing at Louisianans like an a hole.

Heidi KILLED it! The concept wasn't the cleverest but the script itself was good and the delivery rocked. I don't blame James for breaking (while being a presh cinnamon roll)

Not really. Kate McKinnon would have had us rolling out of our seats in laughter. Heidi is a bit player and will never amount to anything more. Google "Laraine Newman".
Kenan is a national treasure. He's always been funny and not just a "solid citizen" player. I could watch hours of Family Feud and What Up with That!

Well, this is America and you have a right to express your wrong opinion. :)

I was waiting for James to break. It was adorable. Worth my time.

"Jumbo!??!"
"Sorry...I mean the Gumbolaya"
