I almost never post SNL videos because frankly I never understand why people think that show is funny. It's always such a long slog with just a couple of laughs. Chris Pine hosted and did an opening number about how he's not Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth or Chris Pratt but Chris Pine. It included one little similarity I hadnt even though of: Evans and Pine both play guys named Steve in superhero pictures that also double as World War period pieces. But this Chris Pine's guested skit about RuPaul's Drag Race is sneaky funny and super up-to-the-minute.

I hope Live Die Repaet and Repeat is just a working title...

Do, Dump or Marry: Chrises Edition

Marry: Pine
Do: Evans and Hemsworth aka Marvel Ménage à Trois.
Dump: Pratt

This would be my preference in terms of their acting too.

Chris Pine did really well as a host on SNL. I was impressed.

I'm glad Emily Blunt is coming to the Edge Of Tomorrow sequel. Especially after essentially getting kicked out of the Sicario sequel.

That SNL sketch was pretty good. Glad to see Pine really go for it.

Chris Pine sang a lot on SNL. I wish the skits were funnier. The best was the Drag Race skit, and the Handmaids Tale skit was good but didn't have the bite it should have had.
