Fred Armisen is 1/4 Japanese which is why he played every Asian character during his run on the show.

Fun Fact: SNL production designer Akira Yoshimura was in the original Star Trek sketch in 1976



I believe he also played Sulu who showed up for no reason in the "Love Boat: The Next Generation" sketch when Patrick Stewart hosted in '94

Was that the first time he did that impression? Seems like it should have happened long ago.

I assume this is what all of Handmaid's Tale is like

The Handmaid's Tale (the book) should be right up there with 1984, Brave New World, and Lord of the Flies for stories every person should have to read in high school before becoming an actual member of a functioning society.

This is the SNL thread though so I also want to chime in that this episode was one of the best in years and it thrills me that it was so much better than Fallon's hack episode.

Chris Pine really liked singing, I guess. I thought this was a pretty darn good episode.
I wasn't too sure what they were going for with the 90's russian world porn peace song, but it was loving on the nose for 90s ballads.

I also wasn't aware that there was a Handmaiden tv show, so at first I was just kinda shocked by the stupidity of the sketch.

I have neglected to come up with a clever title
I liked this article about Kenan: "If You Take Out Kenan Thompson, The Studio Will Explode"

I had never seen a "What's Up With That?" sketch and I enjoyed them very much, here is the one mentioned in the article: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/what-up-with-that/3506790?snl=1

Look up some Eastern European rap videos and it makes since. Maybe there's a specific one they're referencing I don't know, but in general Eastern European rappers working off of US cultural has been a thing for a long time.

Lorne seriously needs to man up and cut his losses with Sasheer after this season. It just isn't working and we can't have an entire season of Lynne Thigpen impressions to make up for it.

It seemed to me that the slavic porn ballad was a eurovision reference, tbh.

and i loved how the cut for time bachelorette sketch used chris pine in one of those african hats, when the background white guy from the music guest wore one as well lol
