Everyone except billionaires: We fucking hate billionaires
SNL: Guess what though
Remember in Muppets Take Manhattan when Gonzo was supposed to officiate the wedding in the play, but a real minister came in and did it and Kermit and Piggy were married for real? Every sketch should involve Musk giving away his money to make the world better. For real.
Lorne: What do you mean we could make more money off of an episode that absolutely nobody watched?
Oh no. Just realized Elon is gonna do a skit where he’s Bezos
And yes. Normally they’re sketches, but on Elon night, they’re skits.
See? Skits!
Open with a pretaped skit from early in the week where on realizing how hard the gig is you “lose your voice.” In the spirit of “the show must go on,” you solve this problem with money by hiring an ensemble of our greatest living actors to step in for you
And you match their fees with donations to worthwhile causes. Cut to Anthony Hopkins who establishes verbosely that he gets paid by the word as he says “live as opposed to ore recorded it is, per the calendar, Saturday, and this last bit brings my total up to a million, night!”
Then follows a legendary night of entertainment. After, you appear in the good nights, your voice “recovered” to say how much you raised and for whom only to reveal that the celebs will donate their fees each to those same causes, doubling the donation totals. Thank them, say bye
Like. At the start of the thing, you’re only gonna solve the water crisis in Flint but by nights end, world hunger is tackled. Just spitballing some skits for you.
Just so someone says it, there's no reason to watch this episode of SNL and even less of a reason to livetweet it.
I will take this thread down for a mere $350,000.
