SNL Benefits From Josh Brolin’s Weird Intensity
Quick Glance: Surprise Appearance by Scarlett Johansson Steals the Show
  • The opening of this week's Saturday Night Live with President Joe Biden's State of the Union address and the Republican response from Senator Katie Britt of Alabama was predictable.

  • Scarlett Johansson as Britt delivers a shockingly violent monologue about a fictional sex trafficking incident before pitching for Trump and transitioning between theater kid, Home Shopping Network pitchwoman, seductive temptress, and the villainess from Get Out.

  • Josh Brolin takes the stage for the third time as host. His performance is a bit scattered, but his charisma makes it work. In one sketch, a married couple (Brolin and Heidi Gardner) with a role-play fetish try to outwit armed bank robbers.

  • Another sketch features a support group for people pleasers falling into toxic patterns. Ariana Grande appears as a desperate people pleaser. The episode had some bright spots, with Brolin's energy and Johansson's perfect appearance.
