The second episode of the 36th season of Saturday Night Live features Bryan Cranston as host and Kanye West as the musical guest. The episode is filled with a variety of sketches and skits, showcasing the range of comedic talent of the SNL cast.
One of the standout sketches of the episode features Cranston as a teacher who is forced to navigate an unusual parent-teacher conference. He finds himself face-to-face with a group of parents who are more interested in promoting their children's social media accounts than in discussing their academic progress. The sketch is a hilarious commentary on the impact of social media on modern education.
Another memorable moment of the episode is a pre-taped bit featuring Cranston as a man who becomes unexpectedly emotional at a rollercoaster theme park. The sketch is a clever parody of the over-the-top emotional reactions often seen in reality television shows.
In addition to the sketches, the episode also features a number of great musical performances from Kanye West. He performs his hit songs "Runaway" and "Power", and even joins the SNL cast for a musical performance of his song "Monster".
Overall, the Bryan Cranston/Kanye West episode of Saturday Night Live is a must-see for fans of the show. It's a great showcase of the comedic talents of the SNL cast, and features two great performances from Cranston and West.
