SNL Highlight: Linsanity gets punny
Last night’s Saturday Night Live was the best in a long while! SNL always puts on their top notch writing when an alum comes back to host and Maya Rudolph certainly delivered. It was so solid that I could post basically the entire episode, but in the effort of keeping this
