It’s probably bad form to post a “Saturday Night Live” sketch a full week later, but hey, this one was cut from the show broadcast and didn’t get put online till midweek.
Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become exceptional. What does 10,000 tweets get you? SNL will tell you in the form of a song:

P.S. If I tweet this story, I’ll be only 4,556 tweets away from the keys to the city and a kiss from Edward Norton, right?

We have a request
In moments like this — as people grapple to understand variants and vaccines, and kids head back to school — many outlets take their paywalls down. Vox’s content is always free, in part because of financial support from our readers. We’ve been covering the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year and a half. From the beginning, our goal was to bring clarity to chaos. To empower people with the information they needed to stay safe. And we’re not stopping.
To our delight, you, our readers, helped us hit our goal of adding 2,500 financial contributions in September in just 9 days. So we’re setting a new goal: to add 4,500 contributions by the end of the month. Reader support helps keep our coverage free, and is a critical part of sustaining our resource-intensive work. Will you help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox with as little as $3?
