Ben Marshall

I mean, she's good at impressions.

Um, Ben Marshall fitting into the c- the general cast...

I mean, I know it's his second year, but better than I expected.

Um.

I feel like they're playing into her sort of on-screen persona.

She does have this sort of uh i guess one can call it monotone energy about her but she uh can can be cold and inviting and i think having the sort of juxtaposition of a ben marshall next to her is just that's like well like you said it's a layup it's just uh immediate comedy points there i thought ben was really great in this um interesting just sort of casting choices in terms of like who the boyfriends are because um you know tommy and marcello maybe a little bit more just like handsome conventionally handsome i i feel like maybe uh no no offense to my pal jeremy but would love to see jeremy sort of uh thrown thrown thrown into this as as maybe uh you know playing off of the the scary mean mean girlfriend here uh no jeremy you look great um and uh great grace uh in this sketch as you mentioned uh she is just uh so far is just becoming a scene stealer in the season.

You can just throw her in to a sketch and you're going to get like a huge pop.

And I think, um, having her be the, the friend of the scary mean girlfriend who has definitely seen your dick pics.

So I love it and we'll see if he continues to do it.

Okay, let's reveal the MVP voting for week number two as we take a look at how everybody voted.

Ben Marshall, first place here, 19%.

I almost feel like this is course correction for last week because I would argue that Ben was the MVP last week despite how good Jeremy was as well.

chemistry was off the charts.

Ben Marshall also, I think, could have chemistry with a brick wall.

I see that man's romantic comedy career thriving after this show.

He is...

If they see her as genuine, it could work.

And then there's Ben Marshall in the promo, saying he's not allowed to mosh because of his center of gravity issues.

That's hilarious.

It adds a layer of humor, but also makes you think about the physicality of Mosh Pits.

That is followed by Ashley Padilla, uh, our leader from last year, four segments and 7:50 for her.

Mikey Day came in with three segments and 7:17, tied him with Ben Marshall, who had a really good premiere, five segments for Ben.

James Austin Johnson, five segments, 6:52.

Musical guest Cat's Eye was in 5:56.

There we go.

So before we get into Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, uh, just a couple, uh, couple milestones.

So we had 100th episode for JJ, James Austin Johnson, 100th sketch for Ben Marshall, and his career-high screen time.

So Ben Marshall, who was really on the sidelines, we had high hopes coming in from him being with SNL since Season 47, and quieter season, not bad, not great, and then he comes out swinging in week one.

Like I used to like… I still remember like Kenan Thompson did this one that was like, What's up with that? What's up with that? And I would like put on my dad's coat and

like… I like keep like praying I'm going to see Ben Marshall here.

I'm obsessed with Ben Marshall.

So what's next for Anna Coker? What is next? Well, I'm starting a show at Barstool called Taking a Stance.

So that will be my next endeavor.

[laughs]

It was like that was top-tier stuff from Ben Marshall.

It was really good.

[laughs]

Uh, I don't think, uh, Cat's Eye is gonna get voted on by the panel, but maybe the audience loved him.

Um, five sketches for Keenan, five cat- sketches for James, uh, four for Ashley, three for Mikey and Sarah, two for Andrew and Jane, and one for Marcello from the rep players.

Uh, we got five from Ben Marshall, four from Veronica, three from Jeremy, two from Cam and Grace, and one from Tommy and Sayeda for the featured players.

So TJ, who do you think the listeners voted as MVP of week number one?

The redheaded fellow from Please Don't Destroy.

Oh, Ben Marshall.

Yeah, Ben Marshall.

Yeah, he's great.

But, you know, they're in all those movies, a lot of those movies that are coming out.
