Ep 1. With Special Guest Will Forte

With Special Guest Will Forte marks the opening episode of Studio C's fifteenth season, and fans are in for a treat with the appearance of Hollywood heavyweight Will Forte. This episode features a whole slew of hilarious sketches that are sure to have audiences in stitches.

The show opens with a whip-smart sketch titled "Excuse Me, Miss?", where a man played by Will Forte approaches a woman at a coffee shop, only to find out that she is deaf. Instead of just admitting he doesn't know how to communicate in sign language, he uses a translator app which turns everything he says into a weird, nonsensical sentence. What follows is a hilarious back-and-forth conversation between Forte and the woman, with the translator app leading to more and more confusing sentences.

Next up is "Pillow Talk", a sketch that takes place in the middle of the night, with two roommates trying to get some sleep. One of the roommates (played by Forte) keeps snoring loudly, much to the frustration of his companion. Things take an unexpected turn when Forte's character starts speaking in his sleep, revealing a deep and hilarious insecurities about his ability to perform as a lover.

Following this is "Uber Wrong", a sketch about a man (Forte) who accidentally gets into the wrong car while waiting for an Uber ride. The driver is a middle-aged woman who is eager to make conversation, but quickly becomes alarmed when she realizes that Forte's character thinks she is his new wife. Chaos ensues as the woman tries to make him understand that she is just a random stranger and not his spouse.

One of the standout sketches of the episode is "Poorly Timed Pirates", a hilarious and well-executed spoof on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. In this sketch, a group of pirates (including Forte) board a ship, only to find that they are way too early for their scheduled attack. With nothing to do but wait, the pirates try to keep themselves entertained by playing hacky sack and eating chips. Things take a turn for the worse when they realize that the ship they are attacking is a cruise ship with a group of elderly passengers, leading to a farcical chase scene.

The episode finishes with "Interdimensional Council of Nicks", an absurdist sketch that sees a group of Nick's from different dimensions convene to discuss a dire predicament. A Nick from a universe where cucumbers have taken over everything has inadvertently caused a breach in their reality, allowing monsters and chaos to reign. The Nicks discuss how to fix the situation before settling on an outlandish and hilarious solution.
