Here’s a review of the matters around Benedict Cumberbatch’s last Saturday Night Live:
Happy Mother’s Day Shoutout:
Cumberbatch gave happy mother’s day greetings to his mother and his wife.
“You gave birth to our three beautiful boys, and that alone is a minor miracle, as anyone will tell you. “Meanwhile, according to you, I was off dressing up as a wizard. … But really, seriously, happy, happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, all the grandmothers, all the caregivers — for everybody who does such an extraordinary job doing that — especially to the two mothers in my life.”
Swipe at Will Smith Oscar Slap
“But I have been in other films. And (apparently executive producer Lorne Michaels) said to me, ‘Like what?’ I said, ‘Well, “The Power of the Dog.”’ He said, ‘Nobody saw it.’ I said, ‘Come on, man. I was nominated for an Oscar for that.’ I mean, I didn’t win. I was beat by Will Smith — not physically, not physically.”
Cumberbatch didn’t forget to give a shot at Will Smith his attack at Chris Rock.
Thumbs Down on the Impending Ban On Abortions
Benedict Cumberbatch had this to say about the criminalization of abortions in the United States; thumbs down!
“While I was cleaning the hole on the side of the castle where we poop, and then it falls through the sky into a moat full of human feces, I started to think about abortion.” “Don’t you think we ought to make a law against it?”
“You mean like the law we have against pointy shoes?” said another character played by James Austin Johnson.
“Or the law that if you hunt deer in the royal forest, they cut off your genitals?” added a third played by Andrew Dismukes.
“Exactly,” Cumberbatch said. “Something fair and reasonable. We should make a law that will stand the test of time, so that hundreds and hundreds of years from now, they’ll look back and say, ‘No need to update this one at all! They nailed it back in 1235.’”
