Hey so the Super Bowl is this Sunday, so of course that’s what “SNL” focused on in the latest episode’s cold open. And while, for the second week in a row, the cold open practically ignored the intense political news of the week, it did mine them for some funny punch lines –like the Papa John’s Pizza commercial in which the company advertised strictly to adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
The skit was a parody of CBS Sports coverage, with Kenan Thompson as commentator James Brown leading a panel discussion of various NFL topics, like the league’s attempts at inclusion, and of course the spread of COVID-19.
