SNL’s ‘Making Love’ Sketch Features Star-Studded Cast
On April 5, Saturday Night Live (SNL) aired a captivating sketch titled “Making Love,” showcasing the comedic talents of host Jack Black and cast member Sarah Sherman. This musical number, which blended humor with whimsy, also included performances from Bowen Yang and guest artist Brandi Carlile, all while the characters floated through the air in glamorous silk pajamas.
A Whimsical Musical Performance
In the sketch, Black and Sherman initiated a romantic atmosphere, swiftly transitioning their encounter into an extravagant musical performance. The duo’s playful choreography mimicked swimming motions as they soared above the stage.
Black began the song with the amusing line, “First we do things to me for a while, and then we do things to you for not that long,” setting a lighthearted tone. Their banter continued with attempts at flirtation, which led to some unexpected comedic moments, including champagne accidentally pouring into Sherman’s eyes.
Sherman played along, exclaiming, “That was so romantic,” to which Black aptly replied, “For me as well.” Their melodious exchange concluded with a heartfelt refrain: “Because we’re making love.”
The Introduction of a “Third Party”
As their romantic escapade progressed, the couple sang about the natural progression of their evening, implying that it was time to invite more participants. Bowen Yang then made a comedic entrance as the “third party,” singing, “Hello, I’m here to fix your problems, and this will definitely end well.” This unexpected twist added to the sketch’s humor.
Black’s character, caught off guard and feeling hesitant about the invitation, comically suggested that it would be best to include a fourth guest, proclaiming, “And the fourth is Brandi.”
Brandi Carlile’s Stunning Performance
Moments later, Brandi Carlile appeared mid-air, delivering her signature vocals that resonated with wisdom and humor, perfectly suited for the surreal atmosphere of the sketch.
Musical Contributions and Collaborations
In addition to her role in the sketch, Carlile also served as the musical guest for the episode, sharing the stage with legendary artist Elton John. The duo performed tracks from their recently released collaborative album, Who Believes in Angels?, which features songs such as “Little Richard’s Bible” and “Who Believes in Angels?” released just the day before.
With combined musical and comedic talents, the recent episode of SNL stood out as a memorable showcase of creativity and entertainment.
