‘SNL’ Moves To Next Level With Gimp-Hindered Sister Act And A Donkey-Curious Mark Wahlberg

While much has been made of Tina Fey’s return to SNL this season—starring as Sarah Palin in a series of pitch-perfect cold-opens that could well be the only things preventing a frayed America from tumbling off a flat Earth’s edge—this week’s episode also brought two other hilarious and viral-worthy sketches we thought we’d share. The first involves a Lawrence Welk Show-era sister act with a dark, attic-bound secret, played by Kristen Wiig. The second features Andy Samberg as Max Payne star Mark Wahlberg, in conversation with a variety of farm animals. Look—us explaining it is just delaying the funny. They’re both after the jump.
