Saturday Night Live returned to TV, after over a month off the air, using a new format that saw the cast engaging in social distancing, presenting monologues and segments they’d made at home – plus a surprise host in the form of coronavirus survivor Tom Hanks (who also appeared from his home)!
Many wondered what kind of skits and comedy bits the cast could deliver from their New York City apartments, or if there’d even be room for the errant Tiger King gag, but comedian/impressionist Chloe Fineman came through with a spoof of MasterClass: the online subscription platform featuring hundreds of video lessons from “masters” of their field.
Fineman gave us a MasterClass: Quarantine Edition featuring her takes on Timothée Chalamet, Dance Moms’ Jojo Siwa and – yes – a killer impersonation of Carole Baskin. Check it out…

It should be noted that SNL’s own Kate McKinnon is set to play Carole Baskin in an upcoming Tiger King limited series.
The last SNL to air was back on March 7 and featured host Daniel Craig, whose movie No Time to Die had already been bumped to November. Craig spoofed James Bond along with his Southern accent in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out.
