SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET
Tonight’s Saturday Night Live is a repeat from January of this year – specifically, Jan. 21, 2017, the day after the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump. The guest host that night was Aziz Ansari, and he delivers an appropriately topical and memorable opening monologue. Also very, very memorable on this show: a cold open featuring Beck Bennett killing it as a shirtless Vladimir Putin, crowing “Hooray, we did it,” and an apolitical sketch in which Ansari is in bed with new cast member Melissa Villasenor, encouraging her to talk dirty during sex – a task she tackles eagerly, but with horrifying inappropriateness, in a comic bit that showcases both of them hilariously. It’s all well worth a second visit.
