Taran Killam scores 2nd place this week on the Russell Brand SNL episode
2. Taran Killam (38 points): Wow, what a huge week for the rookie. Just two episodes ago, Killam scored a goose egg for the week, but just look at him now! His Eminem impression was just as good as anything that Jay Pharoah — who, I think we’d all agree, is a very strong impressionist — has done all season long, but more importantly, he and fellow rook Vanessa Bayer paired up on what I would consider one of the best sketches of the season to this point, “Living Single.” His work as DJ Terry was laden with a deep sense pathos, which isn’t easy to pull off while still getting laughs. I think it’s safe to say that Killam has a real bright future as a Featured Player in front of him.

They scored Livin Single higher than I would have, and they didn't give him the props for Eminem that he deserved. He killed the audience.
Enjoy!
