Game show sketches on SNL can be hit-or-miss because they tend to drag on without many laughs, but this one was pretty solid all around. Christoph Waltz plays the show’s host, who asks the contestants, “What have you become?” The question prompts them to examine their life choices as depressing music plays. (Bonus: one of the contestants is played by Bill Hader, and we get to see him briefly sob, which is a real treat.) But perhaps the best part of the sketch comes at the end, when one of the contestants asks the host what he has become. We learn that all he ever wanted to do was dance, but his mother wouldn’t let him and instead forced him to attend game show school. He gets pretty emotional, and then the sketch closes with Christoph Waltz dancing, which is obviously awesome in a major way.
