Chris Pine Sings A Lot And SNL Loves it
This week's "Saturday Night Live" featured many more singing sketches than the show normally puts up. Host Chris Pine was not only game, but he also fared quite well. Who knew he could sing?

The majority of Pine's sketches involved singing or dancing. Perhaps he is vying for a role in the next Hollywood movie musical?

One of the night's highlights and one that a cappella fans from the '90s went crazy over was "SNL's" "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" homage. Sasheer Zamata gave a killer impression of Lynne Thigpen's "The Chief" while Pine played host Greg Lee. We hope songwriters Sean Altman and David Yazbek saw some royalties for this one.

Incidentally, WITWICS is being rebooted by Netflix currently.

They even had their own Rockapella


Immediately following WITWI Kellaynne Conway, we saw the "World Peace Rap" video featuring Beck Bennett as Slav D as well as an HR sketch with Vanessa Bayer and Aidy Bryant belting out Brandy & Monica's 1998 R&B hit "The Boy is Mine." Most likely due to music rights issues, there is no video of that one.

"Couples Game Night" brought us "Frasier: The Musical" and "Caroline in the City" from Pine and Cecily Strong. Pine pulling out an old keyboard is only the beginning of this over-the-top performance.

With so many musical talents currently on "SNL," what will Melissa McCarthy and HAIM bring next week?
