Looks like the next edition of That’s what I call music becomes a must-have for TV fans.
In a riff from the hit music franchise NOW, SNL delivered its own version entitled, That’s what I call theme songs sung by stars, allowing countless series of leads (or a facsimile thereof) to perform original lyrics for some of TV’s most classic songs (watch the full clip below).
The short started with Chloe Fineman giving us her best Nicole Kidman while she sang Undo it‘s opening track, “Dream a Little Dream of Me.” (“Did you notice my coat? she asks.) From there we got new renditions of the songs from Bridgerton (via Lady Whistledown aka Julie Andrews), The Mandalorian, The Queen’s Gambit, Succession and more, like Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Beck Bennett, Melissa Villaseñor, Pete Davidson, Kyle Mooney, Alex Moffat and they all came in to practice their vocal talents.
But in the clip’s final hurray, lead host John Krasinski sang the ‘long-lost lyrics’ The office‘s theme song, which started with a lot of “Scrantons.” Then he made Dunder Mifflin proud, singing alongside the actual credits, which basically turned into a narration for the accompanying video (“That’s a calculator!”).
That was not the only nice snack of the evening Office fans. In Krasinski’s opening monologue he was consistently interrupted by “Office fans ”Kenan Thompson, Moffat, Davidson and Ego Nwodim, who failed to ask real questions but used it as an opportunity to repeatedly call the actor ‘Jim’. The bit ended in a kiss between “Jim and Pam”, featuring SNLJenna Fischer ‘s own Pete Davidson comes in. (Watch that full monologue here.)
