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. 

Sketches this week:

1: GoKarting in the office (pre-filmed):
  • a complex shoot with at least 7 ppl in gokarts in an office. Not participating: An office manager (Mr. Ben Diggles) and Shelaylay event planner extraordinaire. Starts off with close ups of GoKart riders faces, dramatic music. Some of you have been working hard. Harder than hard. Some people quit, some people died, some people watched their families get up and leave on them, but you've stuck around. You've made it. And wide shot, everyone in gokarts.  Anywho... gokart race- each of the seven race cheap, hard, and awesomely.  Maybe one person's about to win but the boss (Mr. Ben Diggles) shadily poors out a flask of booze onto the "track" (with Shelaylay giving an approving nod) and that gokart goes flying off.   
  • it'd be funny if Event Planner Extraordinaire was Shelaylay's last name and she actually works in the sanitation department but when the boss asks you to put together a hella' office party to keep your job you gotta do what you gotta do..  
2: SNL: During the blizzard of 2015 (spoof documentary-   
  •  During the blizzared of 2015 Lorne Michaels put the cast up in a ritzy hotel to stay safe.  This is the dramatic footage. (spoof documentary) too racy for SNL but "he put them all up in only two rooms" instead of female / male, it's black and white. wah wah.  
  • prank calls
3: Monsters:   
  • talking about their fiscal holdings (maybe 401k accounts)

Sketches for the Host this Week:

A bit late on the take this week so I didn't bother with sketches for this week's host and there won't be a show for a while because of the 40th anniversary... so I'm just going to make up a list of possibly hosts if the season continues and write sketches for a few of them in the future (unless new hosts are announced):

Rob Corrdry
Emily Watson, Emma Watson
Julianne Moore
A Rapper (choose a rapper)
Will Ferrel
Rihanna
Bradley Cooper
Kevin James
