BU’s Osterhout Theater hosts SNL comedians

“I thought the Great Depression was a magician until I was like 15,” Longfellow said.

Walker’s comedic style greatly contrasted with Longfellow’s by being more upbeat and animated. He began his set by facetiously becoming emotional about how many people say he looks like Pete Davidson, and also talking about his relationship with his father. The latter topic often fell short in terms of comedy due to its bittersweet nature, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

He also expressed his feelings about Justin Bieber’s ability to “successfully” appropriate every culture, and asked the audience a variety of questions — ranging from students’ majors to how much people love their fathers. Toward the end of his set, he decided to proclaim something that he felt college students need to hear but no one will say.

“Some of you are supposed to be carpenters,” Walker said. “Some of you are supposed to be fitness instructors. Just drop out of school!”

Both comedians in different instances shouted for the student journalist to reveal themselves and then went on to read previous articles from other school newspapers about their performance. Based on the excerpts they chose, the reviews appeared to be backhanded yet complementary. In this show, however, the reviews seemed predominantly positive.

Audience member Emily Goldberg, a sophomore majoring in psychology, said she and her friends enjoyed the show.

“I don’t really watch [“Saturday Night Live”] so I didn’t know who they were, but my friends asked me to go,” Goldberg said. “I thought they were pretty funny though. I actually laughed at their jokes.”

The show ended with a Q&A with the audience, where the two comedians indulged about what occurs at “Saturday Night

Live” and what the auditioning process was like, also offering a demonstration of their Lorne Michaels impressions. The two were asked what the meaning of life was, and Longfellow responded quickly.

“Smoke weed everyday, get bitches, get money,” Longfellow said. The two ended the show saying they may or may not explore what the bars of Binghamton have to offer, before thanking the audience and saying their goodbyes.
