Sketch Ideas

Preface: Wanting to write for SNL or some paid sketch comedy gig, every week I'll post 5-10 sketch ideas to keep the mind going.  Think of these as pitches.  By next week I'll hopefully have completely written one or two. The ideas range from G-rating to R and may not be suitable for SNL audiences but still... this is practice in being productive/proficient. 

Sketch hiatus this week.  Too many life things going on!  Next week should be good!

Ok, one sketch- Marvel announcing phase 3 superhero movies.  Marvel exec in front of a crowd of superheroes. Ok, you're in.  you're in. come on over here you guys!  Who are you? the inhumans. Yeah sure, why not!  What's your backstory? I kill things? Sounds good, get on up here, etc. etc. etc. (DC character trying to sneak in- wrong room, wrong room, sorry)

Instead, just a bunch of possible hosts/reasonings for SNL:

1: John Mulaney- either to try and help boost ratings for his show or to keep up his presence (most likely has a project coming out)

2: at least one of these five timer club members: Tina Fey, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake- mid to late season pick-me-up.

3: Bill Murray- he's just been in the news a lot doing many cool, weird things. Might draw an interest.

4: Probably someone from Horrible Bosses 2. Most likely Bateman or Aniston.  Would say Sudeikis but this already seems like a former SNL castmember as host season (although he should get his turn if he wants it)

5: Octavia Spencer- because.

6: Someone from Game of Thrones: bets- Maisie Williams, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sean Bean - popular show points.

7: James Franco- he made a documentary about SNL and it's on Hulu.

8: Christina Hendricks or one of the female leads from Mad Men - gear up to Mad Men finale points.

I don't keep up with music so it's anyone's guess. At least:

1: Lindsey Stirling
 
2: The Piano Guys (playing Cello Wars)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
