Jonathan Majors, who hosted this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live, joined cast members Cecily Strong and Bowen Yang in a theater-themed sketch. The premise is that Brad and his wife (Mikey Day and Aidy Bryant) have brought their daughter Sally to the Broadway benefit performance The Best on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre, which features musical legends Blythe and Brick (Strong and Majors), who are joined by dance legend Tennyson Barley (Majors) for a song that turns out to be not so family-friendly.
The sketch parodies the performance of Beatrice Arthur and Rock Hudson on her 1980 CBS Special Presentation aptly titled The Beatrice Arthur Special, in which the duo sang “Everybody Today Is Turning On,” written by Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart for the 1977 musical I Love My Wife, which was sung in that Broadway musical by high school buddies (and fellow swingers) Wally (James Naughton) and Alvin (Lenny Baker).
