My friend got picked and took me to the dress rehearsal this week, we watched like 2+hrs of sketches, pre-tapes and musical performances, some of them got cut and I could see why (audience not too impressed). Among all the things that got cut I liked Pete Davidson's commentary on WU the best, actually I think it was better than some of the contents that actually got aired.
In that bit, Pete was himself (which he has done several times before and I love them all), making commentaries on why many people are quitting their jobs looking for new ways of making money like doing NFTs etc and he specially mentioned a woman selling "fart box", a small transparent box containing her fart. He also commented on the weird time we are living in rn: every time when you see some hope, things just get worse and provided several examples:
1.we thought pandemic would be over last year but it became worse after the new variant comes
2.we freed Britney but we also freed Bill Cosby
3.we sent a billionaire to the space, but dude returned to the earth afterwards
4.(there might be some other examples, but I cannot remember)
then Collin Jost tried to lead this topic to weird celebrity gossips, which we all know is trying to make him talk about his own gossip, and Pete said yeah, for example Bennifer is coming back, but Taliban is also coming back.
Near the end, he mentioned the "fart box" lady again, praising her dedication because she worked so hard that she has to go to the hospital.
