Live Report (2016)
Saturday Night Live has done multiple sketches in which a local news anchors get caught up in a very curious detail seemingly irrelevant to the major breaking story they’re covering. This is the best.
Newscasters Beck Bennett and Cecily Strong – as well as reporter on the scene Kenan Thompson — are ostensibly covering a Tampa sinkhole, but also can’t understand why a local shopper played by Margot Robbie is married to a regular-guy Matt Schatt (Mikey Day).
One of the best SNL sketches of recent times and all time, this one is a perfectly written and acted game of change-the-subject.
Key line: “So… you two are married to each other.”
