Ego Nwodims Edith Puthie Is Back on SNL and More Powerful Than Before

Posted by Larita Shotwell on Sunday, January 7, 2024

The cast of Saturday Night Live broke out the old-age makeup and gray wigs for last night’s episode, which had a pre-taped music-video sketch called “Boomers Got the Vax” that may be the single most joke-dense sketch of the year so far. It’s a true ensemble piece, with everyone playing a different type of obnoxious old person with their own flow, all bragging about how they’ve been vaccinated. Aidy Bryant raps, “you’re in the parking lot eating by the trash, right? / We in the booth reading menus with the flashlight.” Maya Rudolph shoves some children out of her way, rapping, “Stop by my house give the grandkids a hug / now get the fuck out I’m trying to have fun!” Best of all is the triumphant return of Ego Nwodim’s Edith Puthie, a minor character from a Chris Rock sketch last October with too good a name to let die. Edith Puthie gets the horniest verse of all, running a finger over her plastic-covered furniture while telling you to “pop a Cialis, come throw your back out.” Go Edith!
