The Twin Peaks sketch is hilarious

[gridoon2024 · 7/10 · 30 August 2017]

This is not a review of the entire episode, it's only about the two Twin Peaks-related segments which can be found as extras on the complete series-special edition DVD. The first one, where Kyle Maclachlan "reveals" to the studio audience who killed Laura Palmer and then receives a telephone scolding by David Lynch is OK, but the Twin Peaks sketch is hilarious - a bull's-eye parody that made me laugh to the point of tears at least twice in 10 minutes. Maclachlan plays Cooper again, while SNL actors enact other familiar characters from the series. My favorite exchange goes something like this: "We got him, Coop. It's Leo. He confessed" - "Aha! Another piece of the puzzle falling into place!" followed by: "Maybe he is the killer but we still don't know who shot me" - "Yes we do. It was me. You SAW me"!
