In this week’s cold open, Nasim Pedrad and Jay Pharoah parody morning talk show hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. Their impressions are solid, but the sketch seems to rely primarily on the comically large difference between the size of the two hosts, which gets tired pretty quickly. What really makes this skit is Bill Hader’s brilliant impersonation as guest Robert Pattinson, of Twilight and recent love-triangle fame. Unfortunately, Hader sees only a minute or so of air time, but if the stars align, maybe he’ll return later this season.
