'SNL' Cold Open Mocks Miami Beach Spring Breakers as Maya Rudolph Returns to Host - Hollywood Reporter

8:52 PM PDT 3/27/2021 by Sharareh Drury

Maya Rudolph returns to host for a second time with Jack Harlow as the musical guest.

Saturday Night Live returned this evening after a month-long break, kicking off the night with a game show knocking on vacationers partying in Miami even as COVID-19 cases surge.

Former SNL cast member Maya Rudolph, who serves as this week's host, took a different route for the cold open where she often portrays vice president Kamala Harris for political sketches. This time around, she hosted a game show called "Snatched, Vaxed or Waxed" in which contestants guess if a contestant has a "right and tight" body, some "antibody-ody-odys," or is "smooth like a seal."

Knocking on the growing party crowds taking over Miami Beach, which often break curfews and have to be dispersed by law enforcement, Rudolph said of the pandemic, "We're so close to the end, let's ruin it!"

Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett and Chris Redd played as contestants, with Redd fervently noting he was vaccinated "over two years ago" thus more than ready to play. Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner played female guests on the show. Fineman's character joked she was "here in Miami to get COVID or get laid." As for Gardner's character, she noted she can't wear a mask "because it irritates my cold sores."

Rudolph returns to the variety sketch series for the second time as a host, with Jack Harlow as the musical guest.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
