WALBURGA BLACK (née ABBOTT) is SIXTY-TWO YEARS OLD and a SOCIALITE amongst THE SACRED TWENTY-EIGHT in LONDON. She looks remarkably like ANDY MACDOWELL and considers herself aligned with THE DEATH EATERS. She is currently TAKEN.

→ OVERVIEW:

The matriarch of the Black family and it’s strongest addition for centuries, Walburga Black may have been born an Abbott but she was most certainly designed for a position on the Black family tree. The only daughter of WILIAM ABBOTT and his wife KATRIANE PREWETT, Walburga was born of two noble households with the weight of both resting firmly on her shoulders. The second son of the Abbott family, William was given the summer manor near the town of Bournemouth to raise Walburga’s childhood, her childhood was one spent by the sea, her home perched on top of a cliff and shrouded by magic to prevent Muggles from disturbing them. Walburga’s earlier years were fairly solitary and spent walking the dark wood halls of conversing with the paintings that hung on the walls, whispering to them as she went. They told her tales of her family, of duels that had been hard fought and advantageous marriages that strengthened their family lines. The Abbott family had remained strong as they had for generations by keeping their heads high and soldiering on above the rest and Walburga Abbott was no different. Although she had cousins on either side of her family who were able to carry on her family name, Walburga had learned at an early age to never trust a man alone with any important task. 

Furthering their line and upholding the Abbott name was clarified as of high importance from the day Walburga was born and from the moment she could sit up in a chair, Katriane and William began preparing her for coming out into society. By the time Walburga began attending Hogwarts she knew exactly who to befriend, was trained in the art of manipulation and had cited the exact circles she would insert herself into to achieve her ends. Sitting under the sorting hat it had barely grazed her head before she was announced Slytherin, a departure from her ancestors who had mainly been sorted in Hufflepuff. Walking to the Slytherin table, Walburga calmly placed herself next to ORION BLACK and began to ignore him, her nose in the air and her gaze trained ahead, beginning their game of cat and mouse. When Walburga had dreamed of her life beyond Overlook House, walking the halls, one dainty hand touching each painting- she saw herself hanging amongst them. The Abbott name had power, as did the Prewett one, but other families within The Twenty-Eight had more and the Black family had always been long established as one of the most noble and ancient of all within the wizarding world. Walburga had never fancied a seat of power for herself, behind most strong people was a stronger spouse and the position of matriarch for a noble family and finding a man who she could control and pull at the strings of was the life she’d always wanted. 

She wanted to be famous and feared by name alone with an unshakable reputation that could withstand even the worst of scandals. Orion Black was a self-invested boy who had been raised to believe that those he encountered would dance to his tune simply because he was the heir of the Black family. Whilst everyone bent to his will, Walburga refused, driving him mad with jealousy. Entering society post-Hogwarts it was clear Walburga was one of the most desired women in Wizarding Britain, a torturous notion for someone like Orion who famously wanted the one thing they couldn’t have. The day of Walburga’s twenty-first birthday the pair were married, her family grinning with pride as the houses of Abbott and Black were finally united. Although Walburga’s aspiration in life was to be a mother, she waited some years before finally having her children. Married life before children was different for Walburga, adjusting to life within the Black family and assessing her husband over a number of years in order to ensure she moulded him to perfection. By the time SIRIUS BLACK was laid in her arms her husband had an enviable position in the Ministry where they could influence power in government and Walburga had decorated and enchanted the entirety of 12 Grimmauld Place to her exact specifications. 

The moment her hazel eyes met the pale blue of her son’s Walburga felt true love for the first time. A mixture of great pride and awe washed over her as she held her son. Sirius was her greatest achievement, cementing her place within her new family by ensuring the Black name would last for generations. A year later REGULUS was born and her vision was truly complete. The early years of motherhood were most enjoyable for Walburga. With Orion away working she spent the majority of her time alone with her sons, watching them play and lecturing them about the world. The two raven haired boys were devoted and dependent on her, wide eyed and innocent as they absorbed whatever she told them. Whilst she saw a lot of Orion in her youngest child, accepting, entitled and committed, Walburga saw much of herself within Sirius. He absorbed, he watched, learned and questioned- though the questions he asked she would never want to answer. Walburga tried to tell herself that being inquisitive was normal for children and that despite how much his questions on Muggles churned her stomach she felt she owed him an answer. Each year those questions became more complex, until finally as she stood opposite her son and looked into those very same pale eyes she’d stared into for sixteen years and found she no longer recognise him. 

Walburga had raised Sirius and Regulus just as she had been raised, though she had shown them more love than her own parents had. She stroked their heads, kissed them softly, held them close as they cried and viciously protected them against all outsiders. Rumours had began to circulate the moment Sirius had been sorted into Gryffindor that he was different, but Walburga had refused to believe it until the moment it had become unavoidable. Blasting her first born son from their family tree had ripped a gaping hole in her heart she knew would never heal and those closest to her might remark that she was much changed the day her eldest son went to sit at the Potter’s table instead of her own, though they were too scared to say it aloud. But Walburga Black was a survivor. Sirius has broken her heart but Walburga didn’t have time to grieve, she and Orion had much bigger things on the horizon and not even severing ties with her eldest son could distract her from her aims. Walburga had always craved power and as Orion and her brother-in-law CYGNUS BLACK had begun forming new friendships amongst other members of The Sacred Twenty-Eight, Walburga saw an opportunity to cement their family in history and have them rise high above the ranks above mudbloods and blood traitors, creatures and Muggles where they truly belonged. 

She wasted no time instructing her family to align themselves with THE DARK LORD, advising Cygnus and his wife DRUELLA to introduce their daughter BELLATRIX early to one another. Walburga had fancied The Dark Lord’s right hand as one of her own children, but knowing those at the top had harder to fall she was concerned over the prospect of losing a second son. Such a position required a diligent hand of which she knew Bellatrix was more than capable, seeing more of herself within her eldest niece of whom she was incredibly fond of. Pleased with her position within The Dark Lord’s movement, Walburga is doing what she has always done best and pulling the strings of her family from a safe distance away of her house in London, hiding in plain sight in wizarding high society. To the untrained eye Walburga is simply another Pure-Blood woman meddling in the lives of the members of The Pura Sorores society, which she chairs alongside her sister-in-law Druella. With the coming out season approaching, Walburga’s attentions have shifted towards planning The Summer Solstice Ball and securing suitable matches for her nieces ANDROMEDA and NARCISSA BLACK at the request of Druella. Though Walburga has much more than prospective marriages on her mind as the longest day of the year draws ever closer, plotting quietly with her eldest niece to ensure that the Black family are the undisputed first family in the new world The Dark Lord is creating.

— ✧ Introducing CECILY JONES the TWENTY-FIVE year old descendant of LUCIFER. She has TWO SIBLINGS. She is a STYLIST. She is known to be OPINIONATED AND DEBONAIR and JUDGMENTAL AND PICKY. In another universe they’d be known as DANIELLE CAMPBELL.

cecily is the daughter if lucifer, aka the tremaine family’s cat.  she has an older brother named jasper, along with a twin that she rarely talks about

cecily and her twin sister used to be as close as they could be, and they were basically attached at the hip.  they were con artists at their father’s encouragement, and used their beauty and charm to get basically everything they wanted.  they usually tag-teamed their cons, one distracting the person while the other took whatever they wanted, but one day cecily left her twin to do it alone

this was what she considers to be the biggest mistake of her life, as the man that her sister tried to con that day turned out to be the wrong person, and he hexed her, putting her in a deep coma that couldn’t be broken.

this caused her to shut down.  her twin was basically an extension of herself, and it felt like a part of her was gone.  now the only person she can emotionally open up to is her brother, jasper, and her girlfriend.  everyone else just gets a ton of walls thrown up in their faces.

when her sister was first thrown into the coma, she was just as adamant about waking her up as jasper was, but after so long of her being gone, she’s given up hope.  they tried every form of magic they could find and nothing broke the hex, so while she knows it's a terrible thing to do, she tries to forget about her as much as possible and move on

she’s a stylist, so while she doesn’t make or alter clothes, she helps people pick the right outfits for them, and also does their hair and makeup.

     hullo it nora, back for more mess. this unhinged little nightmare is cecily who i first birthed around 3 years ago and i am so excited to finally be playing her again. feral wolf girl who loves silk babydoll dresses and bubblegum but would also cut your femoral artery if she was bored. is the eptome of that “somethin dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls” trope. amma crellin meets harley quinn meets addy hanlon.  ( pinterest )

APP.

( nora. 22. gmt. she / her. ) it might be HER FRESHMAN year but I still think CECILY DE ROSA looks exactly like FREYA MAVOR and sometimes I think the FEMALE is actually them. Of course I’m wrong, as they’re 19 and studying THEATRE while living in FIDELIS here at Lockwood. The GEMINI can be rather PUCKISH and CANDID, but also kind of SELF-CENTRED and HYSTERICAL. Their most played song on Spotify was CELL BLOCK TANGO by CATHERINE ZETA JONES AND THE COMPANY OF CHICAGO, so I think that says a lot.

BACKGROUND.

tw death suicide murder proceed w caution

born as ‘lamia romana’ in italy to catholic parents. her father was a struggling alcoholic and incredibly depressed. when cece was 4, and her brother was 3 her father fed the gas pipe through the back of their car whilst they prepared to go on their family holiday because he knew suicide would leave his wife and children penniless so he decided the most selfless thing would be to take them with him

cecily (lamia) and her brother luc by some miracle survived the accident, but were left orphaned. they were sent to a convent where they were raised by nuns. cece was incredibly religious. it became her whole life. she was devoted to god completely, almost crazed, because in the absence of parents she transferred the need for a guider and protector onto this spiritual other evoked by her religious beliefs.

she always had a strained relationship w her brother because she believed he wasn’t as devoted to catholicism as she was. when she was 13 he claimed that god wasn’t real and that she was a freak, and in a violent rage cecily thrust a crucifix through his throat. it was completely out of character for her. she screamed until her throat went dry. eventually,  when the nuns managed to tear her away from her brother’s body, she was taken to a psychiatric hospital in manhattan where she stayed for two years. driven to madness, she convinced herself that she had been possessed by the devil the moment she killed her brother, and soon she began to accept her fate, as not holy, like she had anticipated, but in fact it’s ungoldy antithesis

when she was released, she was adopted by an american distant aunt and uncle and sent to a manhattan boarding school under the new name ‘cecily de rosa’. see also: st. trinnians. lifted of any religious obligation, cecily grew wild. she delighted in acting up, cheeking her superiors, causing havoc and chaos, terrifying the other girls. sex became her weapon – she would seduce the boys from the local comprehensive and drop them like flies. to her, it was merely a game. 

uses sex as a weapon, a way in which to manipulate men, having filmed sexual liasons with both a former acting coach and a TA to use for the purposes of blackmail. 

 her expulsion from school was threatened after she streaked the school naked and doused in pig blood, but her academic prowess was an asset to the school, so they learnt to put up with her antics. she applied for yale but didn’t get in.

 she atended juliard for a year but was thrown out for indecency

theatre-wise, one of Cecily’s most commendable traits is her sheer tenacity and lack of inhibition – she is willing to do whatever it takes to climb to the top, and kick as many other people down as necessary on her way there. tthis unhinged hunger for success was evidenced when, in her breakout role, cecily played Tamora in Titus Andronicus. feeling the presentation of one of shakespeare’s most terrifying women was ‘pussy-footed’ and dulled down for a male audience, cecily took matters into her own hands, and during the famous banquet scene where Tamora is fed her own sons, she ate a pig’s heart live on stage – receiving both awestruck and horrified press reviews for her performance -- and getting expelled from her drama school. (thats why she is now at lockwood)

she is in a sorority house n the gymnastic squad. she speaks fluently in four languages. the kind f sociopathic lana del rey writes songs about. 

was raised Roman Catholic, and although she is now estranged from religion, it’s still an integral part of her identity. She holds it partially responsible for the need to repress emotion she still experiences. The only time she allows herself to truly feel, without perceiving it as a weakness, is when she’s performing

cecily was raised with dual-nationality and is multi-lingual. Her parents frequently spoke both Italian and English around the house, leading cecily to do the same. She is also somewhat familiar with Latin, having studied it alongside Literature, Contemporary Dance and Theatre at a manhattan-based performing arts boarding school.

ethereal wood elf. plays flute and does ballet. her favourite tv shows are making a murderer and dance moms. she is big on Tchaikovsky and Bukowski. poetry to cecily is soup of the soul, despite the fact that the only things she really feels are apathy and mild disgust. her poems mostly centre around the beauty of violence -- writing about it often prevents her from committing violent acts -- and also her cat.

loves gettin fucked up. always high on sometin -- cocaine, ecstasy, love, her own ego.

had her first taste of alcohol at 15 and has stayed fond of spirits ever since. likes literature of the macabre, isn’t fond of social media, and loves knee high socks and glitter. she bites her nails, will only take cold showers, and doesn’t drink coffee. loves cats. is vegan.

she sleeps like a cat, regularly but short amounts of time, and is usually found awake at night stalking the streets in the pursuit of self-destruction. she views herself as pansexual because she is attracted to people rather than genders but she thinks men are trash. probably biromantic or homoromantic. she loves the chase. she likes meaningless sexual liasons, but if hearts are broken in the process, even better. hearts are breakable and she believes those who have them are foolish.

aesthetic:  peroxide hair in a bathtub, bleach, glittery socks under spaghetti strap heels, silk slip dresses, glitter smeared beneath eyes, split knuckles, nose bleeds, a bubble of blue gum snapped against cherry flavoured lips, orange peel, knee-high socks, tartan two-piece skirt and blazers, kate moss posters ripped out of vogue, littering a bedroom wall, yearbook photos tacked together with red thread, clip in highlights, stick on earrings, french music humming from a crackly gramophone, a hip flask covered with hello kitty stickers

If you're still doing oc prompts how about somecats "moment of happiness"

(The OCs - 1, Bellona - 2, Pennyfathing, 3, Kismet, 4, the kittens) (THIS time in canonical order)

Bellona

Bellona smiled, stretching back on the old boxes she was sitting on, hand on her bump as she stared lovingly at her mate and eldest kit. Merlinite was teaching their little Alonzo how to do pirouettes.

She truly couldnt believe how much she loved her little family, and the fact that they were so soon to welcome two more kittens just made her heart sing.

Bustopher had dropped by not long ago, with enough rice pudding to last a few days, Bellona knew he would be back in time for her to give birth, along with Jenny and Jelly of course.

She missed the rest of jellicles dearly, but this was what was safest for her family, and as an now ex Protector, she wouldnt hesitate to make sure her family was safe. So she chose to live in the moment, and embrace the life she and her mate were making together.

Merlin picked up Alonzo and spun him around, filling the air with bubbles as the kit laughed. Bellona smiled, as she enjoyed her moment of happiness.

____

Pennyfathing

Penny grinned as Quaxo twirled around him in dizzying circles. Their impromptu picnic turned dance show being their entertainment for the evening.

He clapped as Quaxo took a bow, the kittens fur glittering like star light. Pennyfathing was entranced, his bestfriend was capable of such wonderful things and he was lucky enough to be allowed to watch him and the little bits of magic he would harness when he preformed.

You could probably call the kit star struck, and Penny wouldnt bother denying it. He loved Quaxo. And he loved every little moment he was able to spend with him, even if it was eating a mouse on a dusty old blanket in a forgotten alley.

Penny moved to let Quaxo snuggle up against him, tired after doing so much spinning.

A warmth spread through his chest as he remembered the offer he was given a few days ago, a new tribe looking for magical cats and fighters. He knew now he was going to except the offer, and bring Quaxo with him so they could become powerful mates just like he had said!!

But for now, Pennyfathing let them just sit there in comfortable silence, two kittens cuddling on a dusty old blanket, enjoying a moment of happiness.

____

Kismet

Kismet was a blushing mess! Never once before, had they met a person who could get them this flustered than Etcetera.

Once a calm and collected Protector of the Streat Cats Tribe, now a blubbering bundle of words trying to make sence, and they couldn't be happier!

Their tibes had been working together more closely after the passing of old Deuteronomy, and so they had bumped into eachother as if only fate itself had brought them together!!

And well, Kismet couldn't help it, they were smitten at first sight. Etcetera was just so sweet and excitable, if only a bit loud, but that didnt matter when she looked at them like they carried the sun in the sky.

Their leaders had approved, Old Jillymonty and Lady Jemima even offering for them to switch tribes if they wished, but the two had agreed of spending time in both for now.

Kismet had fallen in love with the best queen in the world, and the moment she asked to be mates was the happiest moment of all.

____

The Kittens

Hiraeth and Eglantine sat talking on top of the old car, and Cecily sat not too far away on the tire. Together with Lucideus and Tilibubble, as they were the oldest, they were all on babysitting duty while most of the adults were all of hunting.

They didnt mind the arrangement, it was nice not to spend the morning getting dragged around by Jelly and Asparagus doing chores.

Most of the younger kittens were in the main clearing, being entertained by Luci as she put on a mini show with all the dance moves she had learned from Bombalurina! Melon and Diotima stepping in to be her back up dancers, as Hiraeth sang for them from his little perch.

Yippee, Dyluela, Aggie and Pumpkenna sat at his feet, switching from watching Hira and the show.

Atlas sat up near Tili in the watch tower, Noddy, the youngest, sat on his lap as he chatted quietly to his aunt. The three much preferring to watch their friends where it wasnt as loud.

The Deuteronomy - Jones litter were mostly watching the performance, the triplets making sure to join in singing with their cousin, along with Russet and Azalea, when the moments called for it! Though the oldest, Maxinellie was taking a nap by Cecily's feet.

Admetus and Aristotle were also having their morning snooze in the pipe.

Finally MollyMay, Oopsie daisy and Elysian were all cuddled making daisy chains by the nursery.

All in all, the day wasnt that special, it was normal as any other, but if you would find there the meaning of what happiness is, in a moment like this.

Steve Carell 'SNL' Sketches Ranked Worst to First: 'The Office' Cast Reunites, Carell's Real Family Rejects Him

New Post has been published on https://funnythingshere.xyz/steve-carell-snl-sketches-ranked-worst-to-first-the-office-cast-reunites-carells-real-family-rejects-him/

Steve Carell 'SNL' Sketches Ranked Worst to First: 'The Office' Cast Reunites, Carell's Real Family Rejects Him

Back for his third time, and after a ten-year hiatus, Steve Carell returned to “Saturday Night Live” and it was as if no time had passed at all.

This might have a lot to do with the fact that several of his fellow “Office” alums followed him here for a pretty funny ongoing monologue gag. His real family, including wife Nancy and kids Elisabeth and John, even got in on the fun for that one.

The Thanksgiving episode was solid overall, with only a few misfires throughout the night. The love was also spread pretty evenly throughout the cast, while Carell slipped seamlessly back into his comedic foundation. He even brought some of that cringe humor that made “The Office” so squeamishly delightful.

The only suggestion we have for the show is that they need to step away from this weird perception they have that they must open the show with a political sketch. Clearly, they didn’t have much to say about this week’s happenings in DC, so there’s no shame in just leaving it be. Michael Che and Colin Jost are going to touch on it in Weekend Update anyway, so why not just be funny, even if funny has nothing to do with politics?

As usual, we’re ranking all the sketches from worst to first, including the Cold Open and the regular “Weekend Update” segments. We’ll skip the musical guests, because they’re not usually funny – unless Ashlee Simpson shows up. We wrap up with a look at the cast-member who had the strongest week.

Space-giving

Pete Davidson played the kornels on an ear of kern in this bizarre alien Thanksgiving sketch. There were some technical difficulties, the internal logic basically fell apart and it missed every opportunity to go in a funny direction. This was rightfully toward the back of the show as the comedy was half-baked at best. They spent so much money and time on those sets and costumes and props only to fall this flat.

Cold Open – “The Ingraham Angle”

[embedded content]

The most reasoned voice in news, Laura Ingraham (Kate McKinnon) took a look at voter fraud to kick off the show. You know, that thing there is virtually no evidence for happening at the levels Trump is trying to argue. But first, she kicked off with a scathing joke about celebs whining about a little fire while Trump battles torrential rain. It’s gonna be that kind of night. She was joined by Cecily Strong’s Jeanine Piro, Leslie Jones’ Rep. Marcia Fudge, Pete Davidson and Alex Moffat as Mark Zuckerberg, who stole the sketch with his robotic impression. “Feel Lies” was a home run, but the sketch dragged a bit overall. Jones was dying at first, but when she grabbed a mic and went for a more traditional roast of Nancy Pelosi, the bit came alive. Overall, this dragged on wa-a-a-ay too long.

Friends-giving

[embedded content]

This was one of those sketches that usually winds up later in the show as it started off bizarre and ended totally bonkers. The Thanksgiving song was beyond ridiculous and while we’re proud the writers came up with an ending for the sketch, it’s not an ending that made any sense. The whole thing was dream logic from start to finish. To be honest, we’re not sure if we’re laughing or just confused. Or maybe we dreamed the whole thing.

MONOLOGUE – Steve Carell

[embedded content]

Steve’s monologue turned into an audience question-and-answer session but all of the questions were about rebooting “The Office.” Steve wasn’t really feeling it, but everyone from Kenan Thompson to “Office” cast-members Ellie Kemper, Ed Helms and Jenna Elfman. They even cut to his wife and kids who loved the idea of him being away from home all that time while filming a television show.

RBG Rap

[embedded content]

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become a clarion call for the left as a key voice they’re rallying behind, so this rap tribute is perfectly in line. And it would have been a fine and charming continuation of the adulation heaped upon her, but the closing dialogue between Pete Davidson and Chris Redd really summed up the problem with this kind of idol worship. It has to be built on something. Clever and smart, that’s the way we like our comedy!

GPYass!

[embedded content]

What if your GPS could have the voice and visual style of the most over-the-top drag queens out there? That’s the premise of this fake commercial featuring Steve Carell and Heidi Gardner as a couple who get all fired up when their GPS gets drag-tastic! The whole thing was short and sweet and very silly, but that’s about as much as it could handle before it would start to lose its charm, so it ended just in time.

Jeff Bezos

[embedded content]

Wow, this was a brutal takedown of the conspiracy theory that Jeff Bezos opened his two new headquarters in NYC and Virginia just to mess with and overshadow Trump. Steve Carell’s Bezos went all in with new announcements, each of them tearing further and further into Trump. And it was all presented so gently and with such innocence that it totally worked.

RV Love

[embedded content]

Aidy Bryant and Mikey Day visit their parents (Steve Carell and Heidi Gardner) in a tiny RV they live in and love now. Heidi was great as the mom who supported Steve’s terrible idea to quit his job and downsize their lives to this mess, all squeaks and clear disdain on her face. The whole sketch hinged on her performance, and she did a great job of selling her character clearly lying and trying to put on a good face until finally she just couldn’t anymore.

Weekend Update

[embedded content]

Michael Che and Colin Jost wasted no time laying into New Yorkers for complaining about Amazon setting up their new HQ in Queens, but don’t they know? Complain is all we do anymore. If Amazon had selected another city, New Yorkers would complain about that, just like all the cities they didn’t choose are whining now. In America, everything is lose-lose now. They also chimed in on the latest election updates and Trump with some sharp barbs. We’re still laughing over Che’s worries when he sees Trump flanked by black people. His first thought, “How much did they sell us for?”

[embedded content]

They then invited out Mikey Day as Congressman-elect Denver Riggleman to address his connection to Bigfoot erotica — and yes, that is real. He doubled down on his argument that his infamous Twitter post was a joke, as were the three books he’d already written and the way he wrote them, to make the sex hotter. Yeah, we were all uncomfortable when he started reading from one of his books.

[embedded content]

“It’s a great way to start the day off on the right foot, because the left foot was taken away by diabetes,” Colin Jost said of Sour Patch Kids cereal … how is this a thing? Che also revealed his drag name, and we need to see that character in a sketch right now!

[embedded content]

Kenan Thompson’s LaVar Ball never gets old, with his ridiculous optimism and enthusiasm even as the Lakers aren’t off to that great of a start. This time, he talked about how he and LeBron James are best friends, despite the restraining order. They hang out together, just 500 feet apart. Clearly, Kenan has a blast playing this character and that infectious fun just pours through the screen.

Teen Angel

[embedded content]

A classic 1950 sleepover, complete with a Teen Angel (Steve Carell) singing to high school dropout Heidi Gardner goes all wrong when Aidy Bryant wakes up and recognizes it as her dad, missing for the past six weeks. The deconstruction of the Teen Angel character, considerably older than the teenage girls he sings for, made it creepier than ever, but Aidy and Steve were brilliant as the bickering daughter and father.

Disney World

[embedded content]

A surprise early-morning announcement goes wrong for Steve Carell when his kids (Melissa Villasenor, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson and Mikey Day) tell him they already know mom is leaving him; he doesn’t need to cheer them up. The only problem? He didn’t know this. There’s a lot he didn’t know, which was kind of the premise of the sketch. He’s a clueless idiot, and it really worked. No one plays dim-witted as well as Steve. Everyone was so committed to the bit, and especially Steve. Short, sweet, stupid and totally funny.

NASA Television

[embedded content]

During a broadcast from the International Space Station to children in school, something goes horribly wrong. So while Mikey Day and Leslie Jones keep interrupting with disturbing details of the problems, Steve Carell tries to keep things light. Let’s just say there were monkeys on board, something went wrong and zero gravity can make things very awkward. The cat bit didn’t work at all, but the cosmonaut segment was hilariously awful. This was awkwardly hilarious in the cringe-humor way that Carell is so good at.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

This week is about as close to a tie as we can fathom between two women who really shined throughout the night, but we’re going to give the slightest edge to Heidi Gardner, simply because her performance in the RV sketch carried the whole thing.

Aidy Bryant came a close second for her Teen Angel performance, and her bit-but-key role in the NASA sketch. But Heidi really had a strong night and is making a strong name for herself in her second season on the show.

With Aidy, Cecily and Kate all in their seventh and eighth seasons, the show needs its younger female cast-members to step up because those three are going to leave huge comedic shoes to fill when they decide to move on, so it’s great to see Heidi finding her voice, and getting the chance to showcase how funny she can be.

A returning Steve Carell helms a sluggish Saturday Night Live

Steve CarellScreenshot: Saturday Night Live

“Our lives are short and love is rare, now we do the turkey dance.”

“I’m not an actor, I’m a [comedy, drama, now comedy again?] star!”

The big news that all the kids will be buzzing about is that rumored reboot of The Office that some people apparently really want and tonight’s host Steve Carell says wouldn’t work anyway, for some reasons having to do with “today’s climate.” In his opening monologue, Carell got the old “unexpected questions from the audience” treatment, as former The Office-mates Ellie Kemper, Ed Helms, and Jenna Fischer all stood up to urge their former TV boss to sign on so they can get paid, already. (Kenan wants it, too, responding to Carell asking if he’s Kenan or a “fake audience member” by telling Carell, “If I was acting, you would know.”) That was pretty much the only laugh in the bit, as Carell played straight man to the same-y jokes about how he’s being a dick (Fischer’s words), and how his actual wife and kids don’t really need him around as much as he thinks. He did tease the audience by inviting his Office pals up on stage to guarantee . . . that it would be a great show. (It wasn’t.)

The other joke hammered all week has been how Steve Carell is a big drama guy now, something the show didn’t so much refute as remind viewers of how funny Steve Carell would have been if he were given any decent sketches to act in. Woof, this was a congested wheeze of an episode, packed with sketch after sketch of unimaginative premises, indifferently executed. And that goes for Carell, too, frankly, who seemed listless and uncommitted most of the time. A couple of musical sketches offered him the chance to really belt out some silly material with the confident abandon he’s justifiably renowned for, but, in each, he matched the dullness of the writing in performance. In his third time hosting, Carell and SNL both seemed to be just running out the clock in what was the most deeply disappointing episode of a very uneven season so far.

Weekend Update update

After last week’s news-grabbing, feel-good official apology for a nothing joke (to a newly elected congressman with some seriously questionable views himself), it’s like SNL decided to play defense this week. Or maybe play dead, hoping for the national, not-at-all-manufactured outrage cycle to die down through the upcoming off week. Che and Jost sped past some fairly innocuous political material (Che’s references to the brazen spree of criminal Republican voter suppression tactics aside) in favor of some lame Amazaon jokes. Jost mocking New Yorkers’ complaints about the new Queens Amazon HQ for bringing “25,000 jobs” takes the laziest laugh line from what is a complicated issue, something SNL has long been prone to, but that Jost and Che have occasionally risen above. This, coupled with the other big Amazon piece tonight (see below) smacks of the sort of corporate coziness that just makes SNL look bad, especially with the big news story of Amazon’s move taking place in the show’s backyard, and the attendant controversies.

Tossing to the big post-election satirical landscape, SNL scanned the trees and brought back—Bigfoot porn. The fact that newly elected Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman apparently is way into Bigfoot-themed erotica has predictably dominated media coverage of his campaign. And, sure, that’s some funny stuff right there. But he’s also been allegedly associated with some avowed white supremacists, which is both less funny and more relevant, satirically speaking. So trotting out Mikey Day to portray Riggleman nearly talking himself off to his own Sasquatch porn with some relatively graphic supposed excerpts and even more disturbing grunting noises is picking the lowest-hanging fruit of a satirical target and heavy-breathing on it. Again, if SNL is going to choose to do politics, then it’s going to be judged (by me, at least) on the choices it makes in how to approach the jokes. There are a myriad premises to be plucked from the recent midterm elections. That this was the best they got this week is embarrassing.

Kenan came on again as overbearing and hyperbolic NBA dad LaVar Ball, which is always pleasantly silly. Here, Kenan’s Ball maintained his self-promoting, reality-averse egomania, even as he slipped in the fact that Lakers star LeBron James supposedly has a restraining order against him (They have brunch, “always a respectable 500 feet away” from each other), and bragging about his younger sons’ dad-financed Latvian b-ball careers. (They feast on “the briniest cabbage this side of Bucharest!”) I love Kenan, and this is the sort of thing he’s wonderful at.

Best/worst sketch of the night

On a night like tonight, it’s a matter of picking out kernels (or “cornels”) of ideas or performances than whole decent sketches, of which none were in evidence. In what was a mostly disastrous ten-to-one (but one) sketch, astronauts having space Thanksgiving with their alien hosts ate screaming purple corn (or “kern”) on the cob. Complete with dropped props, a failed chroma key effect, Pete Davidson’s sped-up corn screams, flubbed lines, and either unwritten or abandoned ending, the debacle played like something infamously intransigent SNL legend Michael O’Donoghue might have written during his ill-fated 1981 head writing stint under Lorne Michaels’ replacement producer Dick Ebersol, when the show was alternately a vehicle for the notoriously uncompromising Mr. Mike’s bizarro visions or his legitimate attempt to turn the floundering post-Lorne enterprise into “a Viking death ship.”

There was a similarly dark, throwback vibe to the space station sketch, too, with Carell’s mission commander attempting to tell stilted astronaut jokes and fun facts to Skyped-in school kids, only for a malfunction to flood the camera feed with dead, frozen monkeys, a cat with its face sucked inside out, and, finally, Kate McKinnon’s very deceased cosmonaut floating rigidly outside the ISS’ bubble window. It didn’t all work—again, Carell never seemed filly into his third hosting gig. But there was some real effort in the physical acting of the bit—apart from the dead McKinnon, Carell, Leslie Jones, and Mikey Day did some fine fake floating, and SNL has room for some darkness in it. After we hear about the unfortunate fate of the poor station kitty, there’s a moment where the beast floats into view with its back to us before it—very slowly—rotates to show just what the vacuum of space can do to a cat-face. That, plus some rictus-frozen, space-suited monkey puppets felt energizingly transgressive, in a way that SNL could stand to risk more often.

The “Beauty School Drop Out” parody musical number had a scrap of a funny idea in that Carell’s apparently heavenly, permed guardian angel is actually teenager Aidy Bryant’s dad, interrupting her 1950s sleepover to croon to her high school dropout friend. The concept that Carell’s dad has been touring the country for six weeks with a carful of sexy backup singer-dancers busting into teenage girls bedrooms has a nice, loony energy to it, and Aidy’s horrified reactions are good. (“God, what a small man you are.”) Throughout the episode, there was a refreshing attempt at doing some self-contained, conceptual sketches, but this one just didn’t ever lift off.

The Thanksgiving song sketch should have worked better. It, too, took an odd little idea—dinner guests Carell and Cecily Strong maintain there’s a famous Thanksgiving rock song which they proceed to sing in all its specifically inappropriate, boner-shrinking glory—that has the potential to soar along with the musical conceit. But then it, too, just didn’t, as Carell’s seeming diffidence sapped the momentum. It’s not a total loss—the turn that no one actually knows Strong’s character goes from Carell’s conviction that she was some sort of spirit to the revelation that she’s stolen everyone’s car keys and stabbed Beck Bennett’s host is more ambitiously weird than expected. But this one should have been a show-stopper, with everyone eventually remembering the song’s lyrics about a pair of lovers, a shy penis, and a cameo-ing squirrel and joining in the song, so its just-okay aftertaste is a bummer.

Chris Redd and Pete Davidson’s pro-Ruth Bader Ginsburg rap is the sort of thing they (especially Redd) have done better before, with the paean to the ailing but hopefully indestructible Supreme Court justice never expanding appreciably past its premise. It gave Kate McKinnon a chance to wheel out her RBG for some of her signature gyrating as “the one lady holding the whole damn thing together,” but it’s unlikely to garner another musical SNL Emmy for Redd and company.

The RV sketch, in which Heidi Gardner’s wife unsuccessfully hides how miserable she is since husband Carell cashed out to make her live out his cross-country camper fantasy worked to the extent that it did because Gardner, once more, showed what a fine actress she is on SNL. The sketch had slack pacing, no ending, another blah turn by Carell as the clueless husband, and a very nervous-looking great dane. But it also had Gardner’s peerless squeaking, eyes-averted denial to power it, with her secretly stewing wife not complaining about having to ride in the back (the dog gets carsick), sleep sitting up at the camper’s cramped table, and being in charge of emptying the vehicle’s septic tank before she finally explodes.

By dint of it being the first sketch after the monologue, I’m disinclined to cut the clueless dad sketch much slack. Of all its worst instincts, Saturday Night Live’s need to over-explain a premise is more damaging than musical monologues, game- and talk show sketches, and recurring characters combined. Here, dad Carell’s 5 a.m. announcement that he’s taking his four kids to Disney World sees his progeny immediately asking “Oh my god, does he not know?,” “Oh no, is our dad dumb?,” and “How can we know all this and our dad has no idea?” to let us know that Carell’s dad character is dumb and doesn’t know stuff. (Namely that their mom/his wife is sleeping with his boss, has left and moved to Arizona, and two of the kids aren’t his.) Carell, coming out for his first character work of the night, tentatively sets up the sketch-deadening explanatory lines, which leave viewers asking exactly how slow SNL thinks we are.

“What do you call that act?” “The Californians!”—Recurring sketch report

LaVar Ball, Ingraham Angle. Speaking of . . .

“It was my understanding there would be no math”—Political comedy report

We got another Ingraham Angle cold open tonight, with Kate McKinnon mugging it up as Fox News’ smirking white supremacist and, as she translates from Telemundo’s nickname for her, “La madre del diablo,” Laura Ingraham. McKinnon’s impression is more about pitch-perfect sneering contempt than vocal verisimilitude, but it’s still a decent vehicle to mock Ingraham’s ongoing campaign against facts, actual reporting, and anything darker than eggshell. Still, this showed the writing already letting the air out of the Alec Baldwin-replacing opening bit, as Ingraham’s breathless report on nonexistent Democratic voter fraud made eye-rolling jabs at Tyler Perry and Eddie Murphy showing up as Madea and the entire Klump family, respectively, to vote multiple times. The joke about Ingraham still scrambling for advertisers willing to sponsor someone who mocked school shooting survivors and, well, lots of other stuff is the sharpest weapon SNL wielded here, with Ingraham happily shilling for the likes of a bejeweled catheter (“Ouch.”), teeny, tiny turkeys (because you’ve alienated your entire family in time for Thanksgiving), and Volkswagen (“You know why.”) Cecily Strong made a welcome reappearance as Fox News legal shouter Jeanine Pirro. (“I hate them Laura!” “Who?” “Sorry, that’s my vocal warmup.”) And Alex Moffat continued the show’s questionable choice to portray Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg as being somewhere on the autism spectrum as the whole joke, although him finally blurting, “When I do bad things, I get money” at least addressed the most(?) recent Facebook disinformation scandal obliquely. It wasn’t outstanding, but if it keeps Baldwin’s dull and obvious Trump offscreen for another week, I’ll allow it.

Carell’s biggest showcase was in the filmed Amazon piece, where his bald-capped Jeff Bezos smugly outlined all the ways the online behemoth’s new ventures are in no way intended to merely troll Donald Trump. You know, even with drones topped with bad wigs (instead of shaving their heads “like a real man would”), new headquarters in Trump’s home town and Washington-area residence (and Florida resort vicinity), and the Bezos-owned Washington Post featuring stories like “Immigration Lawyers Suing for Apprentice tapes of Trump using the N-Word.” Carell digs in to the part more than anywhere else on the episode, serenely jabbing at Trump being approximately 100 times less wealthy than he is, or how Trump’s book is so heavy to ship because “it has four Chapter 11s.” (As the commercial chirpily concludes, “This has been a sick burn by Jeff Bezos.”) Fair enough stuff. But, as with Jost’s Update material, there’s a simplistic sameness to the joke here as—while Carell’s Bezos glides over the fact that his new HQs are pleasing everyone “except for the people who live there, and the people who live in all the places we didn’t choose”—the pandering Trump-burning here ignores the parallel dynamic of two rich assholes screwing with people’s lives for petty reasons. If people are going to clap at the idea of Bezos using the Post to attack Trump, it undermines the Post’s actual journalism as just the grimy sniping of one said asshole at another. The crowd erupted in groans at the joke that Amazon’s Arlington National Cemetery-adjacent HQ will allow the company to pay tribute to the nation’s war dead “even when it’s raining,” but, well, Trump made such jokes fair game recently. It’s just that satire works better (or at all) if it isn’t deliberately or through laziness ignoring the whole picture.

I am hip to the musics of today

Ella Mai has a pretty vibrato and some serviceable slow jams. Plus, she got to use the stage fog left over from Carell’s sleepover sketch for her second number.

Most/Least Valuable (Not Ready For Prime Time) Player

Seemingly not content to continue keeping Ego Nwodim on the bench, the episode actually reduced her in size, as she was one of the students in the ISS sketch, asking her question from a tiny box in the corner of the screen.

Nobody rose above this listless episode enough to warrant the top spot. Tough, but fair.

“What the hell is that thing?”—The Ten-To-Oneland Report

After the space corn fiasco (which, for or because of its faults, should have been the last sketch), the “GP Yass” commercial that actually ended the show fizzled out badly. The joke that you can set your default GPS voice to “drag entertainer” sort-of enchants car passengers Steve Carell and Heidi Gardner, who express enjoyment of the “sassy” directions and traffic warnings with a square deadpan that aims for . . . something? Honestly, it feels like a cut-for-time piece that was only plugged in because the actual ten-to-one sketch crapped out so badly. Directionless is as good a place to get off of this review as any.

Stray observations

In addition to being Mrs. Steve Carell/monologue prop (along with their kids), Nancy Carell (née Walls) was a cast member on SNL from 1995-1996. (Something her husband was not.) Kind of strange the show wouldn’t make mention/comedic use of that.

“You can’t dismiss that idea simply because it isn’t true and sounds insane.”

Gardner’s dog-hating mom, feigning love for the huge new pet crowding her out of the RV: “Did you know that a dog can punch you?”

Che, suspiciously eyeing the picture of a handful of smiling black men standing with Trump as he announces some suspiciously not-racist-seeming prison reform legislation, states that, whenever he sees such a gathering, he thinks, “Oh lord, how much they sell us for?”

We’re off next week, gang. See you back on December 1 for host Claire Foy, with musical guest and copy editor’s nightmare Anderson .Paak.

‘SNL’ reveals what it’s like to be a woman with a blistering sexual harassment song

A cheery bubblegum SNL music video starring Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and host Saoirse Ronan looks like it’ll be a delightful sendup of Katy Perry circa “Teenage Dream.” But listen to the words, and it’s anything but.

“Hey there boys, we know the last couple months have been frickin’ insane,” Strong opens in a dumb, pouty drawl.

“All these big, cool, powerful guys are turning out to be, what’s the word? ‘Habitual predators’?” Bryant adds with an affected airhead inflection.

“Cat’s out of the bag! Women get harassed all the time!” giggles McKinnon.

It’s terrifying, what’s happening. Men suddenly becoming lechers and getting fired for sexual assault and harassment in the workplace. Could this be the world now? Read more…

'SNL' finally takes on the Harvey Weinstein scandal

SNL/YouTube

After staying mum on the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal last week, "Saturday Night Live" took on Hollywood's fallen figure in this season's third episode, hosted by Kumail Nanjiani.

Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Cecily Strong, and Aidy Bryant appeared in a sketch of actresses discussing sexual harassment in Hollywood.

McKinnon, playing fictional Hollywood legend Debette Goldry, told a story about visiting Weinstein in his hotel room, where she found him naked, "hanging upside down from a monkey bar."

"He tried to trick me into thinking his genitals were actually his face. It almost worked — the resemblance is uncanny," she said.

Goldry finished the panel with a call to action.

"Violence against women, it doesn't just happen to famous actresses, it's everywhere, dammit. It's about time we take it seriously," she said. "Well, Pandora's box is open now, and Pandora's pissed!"

On Weekend Update, Colin Jost said Weinstein should go to prison instead of rehab for sex addiction.

"This is a tough spot for a comedian, because it's so hard to make jokes about sexual assault," Michael Che said, "but it's so easy to make jokes about a guy that looks like this! I mean, he looks like chewed bubblegum rolled in cat hair."

The cold open and monologue steered clear of Weinstein jokes, focusing instead on President Donald Trump and Nanjiani's backstory.

Alec Baldwin returned to play Trump, appearing at the rally to announce his tax plan with truckers, and calling Vice President Mike Pence (played by Beck Bennett) to tell him to ditch a Pacers game because a player knelt for the national anthem, a Starbucks because the Pumpkin Spice Latte cups didn't say "Merry Christmas", and a gay wedding.

Pence left last Sunday's game between the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers after some players took a knee during the national anthem. Critics claimed the move was a political stunt.

Baldwin also brought up the president's reported feud with Rex Tillerson after the secretary of state allegedly called him a "moron", which the White House has strongly denied. In an interview with Forbes published Tuesday, Trump said he and Tillerson could compare IQ tests to settle who's smarter.

"By the way, I'm the only guy who even knows what I.Q. means," Baldwin said. "Most people don't even know what it stands for — in-quedible. A lot of people don't know that."

While 2016 provided London with some fabulous new productions, 2017 looks to continue with another exciting year for West End theatre. Many theatregoers will be looking forward to the Broadway exports – An American in Paris and 42nd Street.

Here are a few productions that will be opening in London during 2017. There will, of course, be many more exciting productions, established and new, to get along to see in London’s West End and Off-West End venues.

The Glass Menagerie at the Duke of York’s Theatre – opens 26th January 2017 This new musical comedy has brought together the writing talents of Gary Barlow and Tim Firth who grew up in the same village in the North of England and have been friends for 25 years. The Girls originally opened at The Grand Theatre in Leeds and The Lowry Theatre, Salford where it received standing ovations at every performance. Time is the longest distance between two places. Following a multi Tony Award-nominated run on Broadway, Oliver and Tony Award-winning director John Tiffany (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two, Let the Right One In, Black Watch) revives his visionary staging of Tennessee Williams’ heart-rending masterpiece about a family struggling to survive on hopes and dreams.

A domineering mother. A daughter lost in a world of her own. A son desperate to leave. Former Southern Belle Amanda Wingfield, played by Tony Award-winning Broadway icon Cherry Jones, enlists the help of son Tom (Michael Esper) to find a husband for her fragile daughter Laura (Kate O’Flynn). But will the long-awaited ‘gentleman caller’ (Brian J. Smith) fulfil or shatter the family’s delicate dreams?

Sex With Strangers at the Hampstead Theatre opens with 27 Jan 2017 ‘Look, I’m giving you another chance to show the world how talented you are. Take it. It’s worth the risk’

Her latest novel is an unsung masterpiece; his blog is being made into a movie. She prefers books; he prefers eBooks. She is anonymous; he has half a million Twitter followers. But opposites soon attract passionately as each realise they want more of what the other has. But the closer they get, the more they must confront the murky side of ambition, success and Wi-Fi…

Laura Eason’s smart comedy is a multifaceted love story packed with hidden ambitions, soaring desires and secret agendas.

Peter DuBois reunites with Emilia Fox following sell-out hit Rapture, Blister, Burn in 2014. His other directing credits include All New People (West End) and Becky Shaw (Almeida).
