Rare Treats: A SNL skit that hit the cutting room floor (2022)

 When Saturday Night Live ended its season May 21-2, a parody of ESPN's First Take ended up on the cutting room floor, edited for time.

Special guest Natasha Lyonne is made up to look like actor Michael Rappaport. Kenan Thompson gets a fake beard to pose as Kendrick Perkins. Chris Redd's mimic of Stephen A. Smith, though, is the highlight.


Redd has all of Smith's nuances and cadence down. I'd like to see them work with ESPN to do an April Fool's stunt and have Redd sub for the bloviating Smith on First Take.
