Watch Chris Pine’s Best ‘SNL’ Sketches [VIDEOS]
“Wonder Woman” star Chris Pine was the guest host last night for “Saturday Night Live,” and he definitely brought some laughs. He poked fun at his “Star Trek” role, clarified exactly which Chris he is and did a lot of musical numbers on the NBC show. Check out the best sketches from Pine’s “SNL” episode below:
Opening Monologue — Pine wanted to start off his episode of “Saturday Night Live” by finally ending the confusion between him and Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt, and the best way to do that is with a song. “We’re all white guys, but these aren’t the white guys I am,” Pine sings. Regardless, the cast of “SNL” doesn’t seem to actually know who he is. Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson all question which Chris he is.
Jones carried the joke to Twitter where she posted the selfie she took with Pine and called him Thor (who is played by Hemsworth).
The Handmaid’s Tale — The sketch mocks the apolitical by using Hulu’s new show “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Pine plays a dude who just wants to party, and he’s pretty sure he read something about the women who can have kids are forced into sex slavery. He thinks that they should like totally fight back. Even the soldier, played by Alex Moffat, is just a bro who just wants the women to come out and party — after they’re tortured by the government for punishment, of course.
Star Trek Lost Episode — Pine plays Captain Kirk in this “lost episode” of the original series. Spock is revealed to have a brother, Spocko. The new character tries to coin the term “Now that’s a Star Trek!” and hits on Uhura. Neil deGrasse Tyson, played by Kenan Thompson, says the producers let the Spocko actor do whatever he wanted after they realized the episode would never air, so the episode ended with a musical number.
Couples Game Night — There are always those people who are a little too competitive. Chris Pine and Cecily Strong play a couple who are supposed to perform a TV theme song for their friends to guess, and they take it just a little too far. Pine pulling out an actual synthesizer is only the beginning of the over-the-top performance.
Where in the World is Kellyanne Conway? — The “SNL” writers must seriously love Pine’s singing. He sings a new version of the “Carmen Sandiego” theme in this sketch, but this time it’s about Kellyanne Conway. “What could’ve happened? She is not on any channel. Tell me where in the world is Kellyanne Conway,” Pine sings.
Auto Shop — In this sketch, a bunch of macho guys in an auto shop are having a conversation about “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” and they all try to initially pretend that they don’t know a ton about it. Eventually, they admit that they all love it and start competitively lip-synching to Erika Jayne’s “XXPEN$IVE.”
“Saturday Night Live” will have more hilarious skits coming later this month. The final two episodes of Season 42 have some seriously funny actors hosting. On May 13, Melissa McCarthy — who has visited “SNL” plenty this year to play Sean Spicer — will host, and Haim will be the musical guest. “Baywatch” star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will host the season finale on May 20, and Katy Perry will perform.
