‘SNL’ recap: The best moments and funniest sketches from Nick Jonas’ episode
Nick Jonas has clearly become the Justin Timberlake of the Jonas Brothers, surpassing the level of fame achieved by his siblings and settling into a tier of stardom where he can simultaneously host and serve as the musical guest for “Saturday Night Live.” “SNL” tapping Jonas as host felt like a shrewd bit of cross-promotion for NBC, considering that Jonas is serving as a judge on this season of “The Voice. NBC made sure its audience wouldn’t forget it, running several commercials for the singing competition and commercials for Jonas appearing on “The Tonight Show” on Monday. Fittingly, the episode had several music-based sketches, and Jonas spent his monologue singing a tune that tied into his previous stage experience in “Les Miserables.” Jonas was no one-trick pony, however, and proved capable of keeping up with the cast’s rapid-fire one-liners. Here are the top moments and funniest sketches from Nick Jonas’ episode of “Saturday Night Live.” For Massachusetts residents who have struggled to sign up for a COVID-19 vaccine over the last few weeks, the cold open of this week’s “Saturday Night Live” was very on-point. The show opened with a fake game show hosted by Dr. Anthony Fauci (Kate McKinnon) called “So You Think You Can Get the Vaccine,” in which contestants present themselves to three governors — California’s Gavin Newsom (Alex Moffat), New York’s Andrew Cuomo (Pete Davidson) and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer (Cecily Strong) — as to why they should be given the vaccine. “Getting the vaccine shouldn’t be a competition, but Americans will only want to get it if someone else can’t,” Fauci’s McKinnon said. With his brother Kevin looking on in the audience, Jonas launched into modern version of “Drink with Me” from “Les Miserables,” a tune he sang in the musical’s 25th anniversary production on Broadway in 2010. This time, it was about the reasons to raise a glass during the pandemic era, from Zoom happy hours to sheer boredom. Two bros (Chris Redd Mikey Day) buy a new workout mirror with two virtual trainers (Nick Jonas, Heidi Gardner) as well as Shannon Delgado (Kate McKinnon), a woman who is trapped in the mirror by a malevolent force.
