Molly Shannon reprised her spunky and still-50-year-old SNL character Sally O’Malley during her second hosting stint on the show, and this time, the middle-aged multi-hyphenate found herself vying for a spot with The Jonas Brothers.
The sketch began with Kenan Thompson, as the trio’s manager, replacing their lead choreographers (played by Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman) with a “more mature stage act.” Enter Shannon’s Sally O’Malley, who directly offers a few dance pointers to The JoBros that are mostly limited to her signature catchphrase and accompanying outsized gestures, “Kick, and stretch, and kick! I’m 50!” She also convinced the band to adopt her iconic red jumpsuit attire and helped them adjust their waistbands just a little higher before receiving an enthusiastic offer to replace Nick.
As usual, the energetic character won over her audience and even caused Yang and Fineman to break while striking a certain pose that she compared to the Grand Canyon. Watch the sketch below.
