We might be in the golden age of telly, with quality new series popping up all over the show, but good luck trying to top The Sopranos.
Six seasons of pure magic, all of which culminated in a dramatic showdown at a New Jersey restaurant.
If you didn’t already have Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ down as an iconic tune (karaoke renditions aside), then the show’s final scene should have done the trick.
Fast forward to 2018 and America’s latest crime family, the Trumps, are also on everyone’s TV screens. Saturday Night Live went hard when they called in Stormy Daniels, and you could say the same about their effort over the weekend.
Before we check out the sketch, let’s get some info from Variety:
Alec Baldwin was back on “Saturday Night Live” May 19 for the NBC comedy’s 43rd season finale in a cold open sketch that had him meeting his friends and foes — including Kate McKinnon’s Rudy Giuliani, Ben Stiller’s Michael Cohen and Robert De Niro’s Robert Mueller — in a diner…
Reminiscent of the final season of “The Sopranos,” Baldwin was joined in the booth by his closest confidantes, set to a score of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” playing from an old-fashion jukebox. The end of the sketch even faded to black after an ominous warning from De Niro’s Mueller.
