SNL: Sweeney & Longfellow: When "Meet-Cute" Meets Real World (VIDEO)

In this midweek sketch, SNL host Sydney Sweeney and cast member Michael Longfellow show us what happens when a "meet-cute" misfires.



Article Summary

  • SNL sketch shows Sydney Sweeney and Michael Longfellow in a "meet-cute" that doesn't quite go as planned.
  • Get a peek into the SNL cast's table read with host Sweeney (hopefully) later today.
  • The March 9th SNL features host Josh Brolin, with Ariana Grande as musical guest.
  • Also featuring the SNL Season 49 cast photo by photographer Mary Ellen Matthews.

After yesterday's official welcome video, host Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You) and musical guest Kacey Musgraves are officially running the press gauntlet for this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live. And with it being Wednesday, that means we have a look at Sweeney & the SNL cast later on today during their table read. But right now, we have Sweeney being joined by SNL cast member Michael Longfellow for the midweek sketch – one that proves to be a teachable moment. You've heard of (and most likely seen) your fair share of "meet-cute" moments – those moments in films and shows when a couple that we all know is going to end up together have that "wacky, unexpected way" that they first meet. Well, let Sweeney and Longfellow demonstrate how that works most of the time in the real world… and don't forget that Saturday, March 9th, brings host Josh Brolin and musical guest Ariana Grande.
