Keenan is no Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. But Greg is still an Alien….with a tail this time.

Once again, Bill Hader makes this sketch but I had to wonder, why did the decided to use Keenan instead of “The Rock” as the co-host? I know he’s not a regular cast member but, unless the cold open was pre-taped, Dwayne Johnson was already there to be “The Rock” Obama. Most of the laughs from the first “Greg is not an Alien skit” came from Johnson’s delivery and interaction with Hader. That said, Keenan trying to calm “Greg” when he got excited was good stuff. And the tail. What can be said about the tail? Comedic gold.

Greg is not an alien.

This sketch had a simple premise, which usually causes an SNL skit to drag, but I think it really sold this one. Especially the subtle way it was introduced. When “The Rock” randomly says “Greg is not an alien”, you can’t help but do a double take.

Somone needs to get Bill Hader into a starring movie fast! He’s a fantastic voice guy and the ONLY reason I laughed at this sketch was because of how well he sold it. Take a watch and try not to laugh at least once when the water spills. “Way to go, Chuck!”
