    Okay but why was Benedict Cumberbatch so good in this tho? Not only was he hitting those high notes, but his dance moves, and singing was mesmerizing. Could have listened and watched them sing and dance to this song forever. Cumberbatch is hilarious and one of the best SNL hosts hands down. Love when a host actually tries. He not only learned his lines, but acted them out brilliantly.
