An obvious conceit with Mick playing against type in this particular sketch about people imitating Mick Jagger’s singing style. A pretty fun Mick Jagger imitation from Fred. Well, it’s certainly nice to see an actual original sketch for once tonight.
Mick Jagger karaoke mimicry wows all insurance conventioneers but (host) Too bad they didn’t attempt to do anything different and special with Grayson to end this final Secret Word installment (before SNL, of course, brings it back in Kristen’s season 42 hosting stint), like they did with Dooneese at the end of the cold opening. Wait, the sketch is already over? Wow, I’m glad they actually kept this installment fairly short, and we only got one musical number from Kristen’s Grayson. Ugh, cue all of Kristen-as-Mindy-Grayson’s constant musical numbers. Meh at writers James Anderson & Kent Sublette’s (or is it just Anderson who writes these sketches?) on-brand decision to have Mick’s character be a “closeted” gay actor. Bill seems to be giving his Secret Word game show host character a bit of a sillier tone in these past few Secret Word installments, mainly that goofy laugh that he’s added. Tonight’s Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour continues with another recurring sketch that I will absolutely not miss seeing on a regular basis anymore. Mindy Grayson & fey tough-guy actor (host) blab the answers A nice bit of a variation of the usual “Stick around, we’ll be right back” tagline. A lot of charm from Mick Jagger in this nicely simplistic, old-school-feeling monologue. Host answers questions that he is frequently asked about his career For all of my criticisms of this recurring sketch in general, Dooneese getting her man was actually a nice, fitting way to officially end it (before SNL, of course, fails to resist reviving this sketch in Kristen’s season 38 hosting stint and, for some asinine reason, Paul Rudd’s season 39 hosting stint). And now we get another change of pace, with Dooneese actually getting her man for once. Hmm, Dooneese’s sisters leave early, before the conclusion of the musical number? That’s actually different. Jon is at least fun in his performance, though. The woman of the hour, Kristen Wiig, makes her first appearance of the night, to a huge round of applause from the audience. But as soon as I saw Jon Hamm show up as Kristen’s love interest in this cold opening (making this the second consecutive episode he’s cameod in), I knew for certain that this was indeed Kristen’s final episode. When this episode originally aired, it wasn’t publicly confirmed beforehand that this was Kristen and Andy’s final episode. Ugh, I am so tired of the dumb sexual-related finger jokes this recurring sketch always has Fred’s Lawrence Welk do. Tonight’s Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour begins with the return of this recurring sketch. Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 starsĭooneese pursues Italian singer (Jon Hamm)
