SNL Presents Another John Mulaney Musical: Put Your Hands Together For "Airport Sushi"

John Mulaney hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time on Feb. 29, which meant a musical sketch was inevitable. The 37-year-old comedian and former SNL writer didn't disappoint as he starred in the hilarious pastiche "Airport Sushi" — a follow-up to his 2018 parody "Lobster Diner" and last year's "Bodega Bathroom."

The clip features Pete Davidson's character buying sushi from New York City's LaGuardia Airport, much to the chagrin of his friend (Chris Redd) and the cashier (Mulaney). An entire musical sequence about purchasing raw fish from a random store — among other travel-related gripes — breaks out, including renditions of classic Broadway tunes from West Side Story, Annie, and Phantom of the Opera. A suspended Jake Gyllenhaal also makes a surprise appearance and sings a TSA-inspired version of Wicked's "Defying Gravity." Watch the skit above, and please promise us you'll never buy sushi from an airport convenience store.
