Last night’s SNL was hosted by Chicago-based musician Chance the Rapper, and in one of the skits SNL took the time out to poke fun at hockey, which naturally included the New York Rangers. The premise of the skit was that the regular rink-side reporter for MSG was out on paternity leave, so the network’s Knicks reporter, played by Chance, had to fill in. Feeling out of place, the reporter mostly comments on how cold it is down by the ice (true) and how many strange and esoteric rules the game has (also true). The skit also features a cameo of sorts by a pretend Brady Skjei (bummer they couldn’t get the real Brady Skjei), who Chance interviews while struggling to pronounce his consonant-filled name.
