ESPN’s First Take - SNL 

Sucks

Chris Redd is a perfect Stephan A. Smith

Lol! Peace!

@@Woodshadow it’s the little things man like when he clenched his fists together when he was talking about love😂just put me over the edge😂😭

@@awaugh17 this parody was spot on

A bit of a mix of Caesar, eat, pray and love movie and yeah

dudes spot on with the Stephan A impression

Same i lost it when he told her to shut up🤣🤣

Lolllllllllll

Always want Molly to shut up lol

She ain't the glue at all. She constantly interrupts.

Because I got to scream lol

yeah but Molly isnt as annoying in this one.

💯

So true!! If you turn your TV all the way up you don't need coffee..

@@DIGITAL7Media and yet you don’t have any taste in women chloe fineman isn’t annoying like you are

@@Iowaguy-ge2uf Brilliant, you.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ He was complimenting Chloe, saying she ISN'T annoying like the actual host of First Take, Molly Rose. So you went out of your way to insult a stranger for voicing their opinion in a comments section and couldn't be bothered to consider their actual intent.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Bulldozer of cocaine.

@@cocatfan One can dream.

Me either.😁❄

Michael Irvins impersonation is ridiculously untalented.

Too many young ones won’t get that one!

😂😂😂😂

Just thinking of Kendrick Perkins getting rattled after being proved wrong for the millionth time, man that was so good😂😭

Yes! My favorite part! That’s exactly how paused video game characters look! 😂😂😂

The pen kills me 🤣

😂💯

🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

I know! He’s very underrated

Keenan usually can't do an impersonation to save his life but this was pretty 🤣

I'm folding laundry right now

@@pakuma3 But, do you also have your back against the wall and a chip on your shoulder?

😂 “folding laundry while working from home” what a farce these covid times have been.

@@pakuma3 sorry

@@iguacu3517 I don't fold laundry... I just put my clothes on right out of the dryer

Lol!!

Oml 💀💀😂 she could go on first take for real and be way better than Molly 😂

Lol I totally agree. I am fairly big into sports but I don't watch any sports commentary expect for Jomboy every once in a while if it looks like something funny happened. So I have no context on this show or how accurate this parody is but I was laughing the whole way through because it is just super funny.

Formanopinion, your last sentence is probably one of the best spot-on comments I have read on RU-vid in a long ass time. ;)

Just reaffirms SNL prioritizes propaganda over comedy.

And was that Wille Forte, aka the guy who did the ESPN classic skits with Jason Sudiekis?

@@ethanweeter2732 it was Will Forte

Only a very exceptional SNL crowd would understand.

This is so true lmao. I hope they bring this up on FT on Monday tho

@@B_Bodziak Are you insane?? CLEARLY only a very VERY exceptional SNL crowd would understand!!

I was thinking the same thing but its really quite brilliant. Im sure there were a few in the audience that appreciated it. I love Keenan but he tends to do the same voice all the time. This was exceptional. 👏

@@B_Bodziak *very very

Did you finish all the laundry?

@@yearofthedawgs8581 yes!

@@sherryr3217 what's up beautiful ❤️

weird Im literally doing the same. lol I'm just finishing them up now.

Praying for the health of your baby that got woken up.

Me too, I was like "This is too funny"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

that got me LMAO

Irvins ego personified

I'm saying! Classic ESPN Classic sketch.

I was expecting THAT

Sudeikis in London, not living in an SNL dresser.

That’s exactly what happened

Yes!!

The only other cast member to do that is Jay Pharoah.

Snl literally has a better version of this

Jamie Foxx does a pretty good one

It's astoundingly good.

@@stevenp25100 Jay's impression was slightly better yes, but this was still pretty spot on 🤣 That said, it didn't have a classic line like "Mario CHALMERS should not be allowed to have ARMS in the FOUTH QUARTER of a Miami Heat BASKETBALL GAME." 🤣

Yet it was cut for time!

Not even at “ take me back”?

U gotta peep the first dance skit 😂

Horse noise included.

I love it

@Bart Chrysler he was close it wasn't great but close enough

It’s all different, since back in the day, we were able to enjoy the shows, and not get so much of other people talking over another- just like the news.

Stephen A Smith’s energy is always exhausting

@@TreyDoe Stephen A. literally yells out the most OBVIOUS statements, just so it can be used for the next NBA/NFL promo. Like no shit Curry is good at basketball!

@@hbmento8102 NO‼️ CURRY IS SUPERLATIVE‼️HE IS A BENEVOLENT BEACON OF BASKETBALL PROWESS AND HIS TALENT AND SHOOTING PRECISION CAN NOT CURRENTLY BE MATCHED ON THIS EARTHLY DIMENSION‼️ - Stephen A Smith (probably)

It's parody, not satire. No one with more than two brain cells thinks ESPN anchors convey any amount of insight. It's all just "Sports Yelling: the Show"

Funny impressions, but the bit didn’t go anywhere. I can see why it was cut.

@@rykwon4535 if you don’t watch first take just say that to 😂

@@Darealmenxce how would I know the impressions were good if I haven’t seen first take 🤔

Yet they had time for that elmo crap during update. This is fire 🔥

@@kalyn7220 Update gets about the same amount of time every week so its weird that you picked that. Also Elmo has been weirdly trending lately due to his feud with a rock, so they were likely just trying to glom onto that.

This group should be at the NFL awards show during Super bowl week.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Lmaooo Kennan and Chris both do! Funny as hell 😂

It's so rare to see Chris break like that. I loved it.

Bro every time he “stumbled” on his words i started dying lmfaooo shit is so accurate 🤣

@@rum-ham He didn't break in the E-Meth skit.

How could you not love sports 🤔?

I used to watch the big 3 American sports (mlb nba and NFL) but now im more into the NBA and track/field.

@@ekibirigeable I'm a bookworm.

Same!

There are books about sports? LOL!!!

... too damn well*.

Pretty amazing that they can reference a 19 year old movie and people still get it.

Facts, a damn good movie too

All the sportshorse jokes were so fucking funny. The sound effect with the super serious passion and ridiculous brand was the best

He has but I agree, should be more often.

@@rekaviles He did? When?

Yeah, kind of a necessity for the sketch to even get pitched. Nice work Sherlock.

@@skankhunt-wy9wy thanks Gerald.

Yup, definitely knows Molly tries to talk even more than everyone else

Came here just for this comment

She is so dam annoying

... you're* scaring ...

Amazing call back to Lavar Ball, so genius

I'm so surprised how this went over so many people's heads!

@@muhmoudyounis9033 SNL subtle like that, glad a small percentage of us can enjoy that joke

Genius writing

@@sportsguy1097 for real :0

It was good not great, just needs to improve his cadence

Naw it was very good. This entire thing was very good!

Were Are

Kenan always good

@@TenochMictlan cool, please share with us your portfolio of popular characters

It was really good but I still think Jay Pharoah's Stephen A impression was the best.

His Michael Irvin is better lol

I think it may be Dave Portnoy, Barstool doosh!

@@xcdrummer19 that's true, probably a mix of El Presidente and Skip, especially with the Sportshorse thing.

A dollar store Skip Bayless? So, you think Will's doing the premium version of Skip?

I think he's doing dan orlovsky

@@offnbeatwclintnelson1346 Theres definitely some Orlov influence in there as well, good call.

I can’t with first take, undisputed has my heart

@@iam_jackoeven now that Shannon Sharks has left FS1?

@Bart Chrysler Wait I'm confused... Colin Jost is That White Guy, while Pete's race has always been questioned as he's "all miscellaneous in the face" - even Chapelle broke character as the Allstate Guy to make fun of Pete's (AKA Count Chocula's) "big lips" in a sketch of Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima getting laid off... He's dating Kim Kardashian for crying out loud! What is it you're trying to say about Keenan? And Lorne Michael's is Cananaden, like from Canadia - that's White white! Are you saying Keenan is too white to be black? I don't think that's a Thing any more than when some folks in the LGBTQ+ community bashed Pete Buttigieg & his husband for "not being gay enough" in the 2020 primaries... As a queer woman, I know that is not a real Thing. And what does that have to do with Keenan's inarguable brilliance as a sketch comedian?

@@TabethaAurochs “miscellaneous in the face” I’m going to start using that as an insult

Spot on.

@Bart Chrysler good thing he isn’t as humorless

@@whayes8084 🤣💯 Pete said that about himself in an old stand-up set, which made it that much more hilarious

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

This version of Molly was much more tolerable.

Because it wasn't funny.

I think that as much as we may get it... not everyone watches this type of content to get the references..

@@eamon2please Based upon the comments, it seems you're one of very. VERY few who feel that way. If you don't watch ESPN, it likely isn't funny.

SNL demographic and FT demographic don’t have a very strong overlap, unfortunately. Event the Inside the NBA skits really got traction because they had someone doing an over the top Shaq every time.

@@B_Bodziak That's probably why it was cut. Somebody in charge probably thought the demographics were too low to be universally funny..yet they aired the weird (but funny) country music bit.

I think you are right. My video froze around that time

Actually he would be getting an Emmy because SNL is a tv show. The Oscars are for movies only

Not enough interruptions

I agree. The voice is spot on.

You’re right, because I thought that WAS Cecily. Had to look up the new cast😬

Yeah, but max kellerman was the problem lol

@@DavidSmith-by3is Right??? Hahaha….the moment he was gone, so was I.

@@andrewbristow2817 I was gone many years before that lol

@@justinpettit8099 😂😂😂😂 fair say

@@andrewbristow2817 Skip and Stephen A gimmicks got old for me a long time ago. Lol. You knew what episode was gonna be every time. I stopped watching before Max was even on Skip: Listen Stephen A I know Lebron shot 20 for 21 from the field and scored 50 points with 18 assists and 12 rebounds. But that one shot he missed is why he'll never be Jordan. Btw everything Brady does is great. Even his interceptions are beautiful and him just feeling sorry for the other team. Go Cowboys. I miss Tebow. Stephen A: Listen I'm gonna use big words for absolutely no reason and say a bunch of extra stuff before I get to my point and yell for no reason. Look I know nothing about sports especially football so I'm just gonna pick the favorites in everything to seem like I know what I'm talking about. Now I'm gonna make an obscure statement about the Dallas Cowboys that can literally be stated about every team in the league so I can claim I was right when they lose. "They're an accident waiting to happen". I know I can use this statement for literally every team that doesn't win the Superbowl but I wanna say I was right every time Dallas isn't 1 of 32 teams to win the Superbowl that year. Oh yeah Aaron Rodgers is a baaaaaaaad man

It's causing an uproar because of how good it is
