SNL Cold Open Spoofs R. Kelly’s Wild Interview

Kenan Thompson as R. Kelly in SNL’s cold open

SNL’s cold open last night took on the now-infamous R. Kelly interview with CBS’ Gayle King.

Kenan Thompson portrays the singer, and Leslie Jones offers up her take on the cool-as-cucumber CBS This Morning co-host.

I think this is one of the best skits I’ve ever seen Thompson do. Not only does he capture the illogical freneticism of Kelly, but the writing is totally on point.

I don’t want to spoil anything, so just hit play below. Very funny stuff.
