A sketch in last weekend's episode advertised the upcoming tour of "Celtic Woman"
'Saturday Night Live' can be a little hit and miss, especially in more recent years. The series has proven effective when it comes to parodying US politics - seeing Maya Rudolph portray Kamala Harris and Jim Carrey play US President Joe Biden in recent months has been gas. We just wish they'd leave Ireland alone already...
A new sketch from 'Saturday Night Live' titled "Celtic Woman" depicts an Irish band's new tour and album.
Anya Taylor-Joy (who was the 'SNL' host with Lil Nas X last weekend), Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Aidy Bryant depicted the band members.
They were already corpsing by about half a minute into the sketch as they sang "Irish tunes" and danced around.
The band's performances are described as "the sexual eye contact journey of a lifetime".
Fans describe the band as "perfection", "absolutely gorgeous" and "Ireland."
And of course Joy greets the audience saying "Top of the evening ta ya."
*sighs...*
Watch it here.
In the past, 'Saturday Night Live' also did a cringe Aer Lingus sketch when Saoirse Ronan was host on the show.
The 'Irish Dating Show' sketch on 'SNL' back in 2018 also saw the series hone in on Ireland.
