Saturday Night Live Lets Kim Kardashian West Try To Be Funny With Help From Family & Celebrity Cameos
Lotto Drawing – I always love a good absurd piece of comedy, and this news broadcast did the trick. At first I was frustrated by the fact that the news anchors themselves are a little off-kilter, but they’re aware enough to find the rest of the broadcast questionable.
