Tonight on SNL, Ramy Youssef appeared in a sketch parodying NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert events sequence.
After singing a line from a tune, alongside band mates performed by Chloe Troast and James Austin Johnson, he tells a crowd assembled for the efficiency, “Thanks a lot NPR. We’re the Jonah Hughes Band. Now, that final one normally incorporates much more synth, however since it is a Tiny Desk live performance, we have got to be quirking it up.”
“Yep,” says Troast. “That is why I play a milk carton shaker.”
Youssef explains that Troast is normally on the cello, including, “We have by no means really performed in an workplace earlier than, like an actual one, however being here’s a dream come true.”
Earlier than segueing into the band’s subsequent tune, “Loopy Lady, Amanda,” Youssef is interrupted by Bowen Yang, taking part in an NPR staffer.
“Hey guys. Can we be quiet please?” Yang asks. “A few of us are working.”
“Uh, sorry. What?” Youssef replies.
“Yeah, we’re on a name and proper now, there’s a bit of an excessive amount of ruckus,” Yang says.
“Oh, properly we’re doing a Tiny Desk live performance right here. It is sort of a giant deal for us,” Youssef retorts.
“Yeah, properly it is NPR,” Yang sasses. “Day by day is sort of a giant deal for us.”
Youssef wonders whether or not this man is “essential right here,” with a personality performed by Sarah Sherman explaining, “No, that is Elliot. He is a brand new intern, however he is 35. He mentioned he goes to SUNY Newark.”
Provides the NPR worker of Michael Longfellow, “Somebody informed me he is engaged on a podcast about ‘AI and rural queers.'”
“Yeah, it is past attention-grabbing really, and I am excited to announce we have landed on a title for my podcast,” says Yang. “It is referred to as, ‘Beep boop, I am homosexual now.’ It is a play on ‘Wait wait, do not inform me,’ however it’s not humorous in any respect.”
Youssef hosted tonight’s episode, with Travis Scott as musical visitor. For video of the sketch, verify again later.
