Steve Martin and Martin Short bring Christmas cheer and chummy laughs to SNL. Read DennisPerkins5's review:
’s most beloved performers teaming up for a pre-Christmas episode Christmas episode full of good cheer, song, and schtick. So, so much schtick. I’m not complaining—if you’re going to have two venerable comedy legends take their chummy doubles act to thestage, you really can’t do wrong with Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Same goes for “The Holiday Train,” which doesn’t quite pay off as big as it should, but which again gives Cecily, Kenan, Martin and Short a chance to croon out a silly-sweet ditty, this time about the latter trio’s obsession with seeing snow for the first time.
And then more Christmas, as mall Santa Martin and his irascible elf Sprinkles/Pringles go for belly laughs again, via Short’s constant, pointy-shoed yelling. It’s not bad—Short’s frazzled elf switches off from simply yelling at present-wishing kids and protectively scolding everyone for putting so much on his boss’ plate.
The correspondent pieces were both solid, with Chloe Fineman getting a suitable showcase for her impressionist skills as part of a couple whose new relationship book involves her 20-year-married wife employing celebrity mimicry to spice things up in the bedroom. Fineman trotted out her Drew Barrymore, Meryl Streep, and that Russian woman from, all while hubby Mikey Day ratchets up the heat with appropriate references.
