Is ‘Dog Run’ The Worst ‘Saturday Night Live’ Skit In Years As Timothée Chalamet & Cast Play Crude Pooches On The Loose?
There has been a lot to like in this landmark 50th Season of Saturday Night Live, as NBC prepares for a primetime special on the show’s first half century, and documentary episodes unfurl on subjects like how the Will Ferrell-Christopher Walken sketch classic More Cowbell came into being. Despite the sharp work being turned in on a high percentage of the weekly sketches — Andrew Dismukes’ Weekend Update segment with a puppet replicating his father was a highlight this weekend — there inevitably are sketches that don’t make the mark. Sometimes, they’re just way out there, but still funny — remember Headwound Harry, where a woozy Dana Carvey ruins a party by showing up with a serious head wound, laying down and bleeding all over the couch, and when a dog rushes to eat the meat affixed to his head, Carvey opines that “he must smell my dog.” Hilarious.
