The most talked about sketch from last night's Saturday Night Live hosted by Amy Adams was a long, winding parody on Serial, the podcast about a 1999 murder in Baltimore. Cecily Strong played Sarah Koenig, and did a top-notch job, but it was by no means the best sketch on the show last night.
The best sketch of the night was called "Girlfriends Talk Show," which featured two presumably high school girls talking about their lives and friends. The captain of the dance team, Amy Adams, joined to ridicule Aidy Byrant for being the fourth-alternate on the school's dance team. The sketch is full of ridiculous humor, hysterical facial expressions, and some really bad dancing by boy-band One Direction.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
