OK, not really. There is no new Miley Cyrus show and certainly not one on SNL (Saturday Night Live) but there was a parody of one last night. It was actually pretty funny. Vanessa Bayer, a comedienne on the show, did a dead-on impersonation of the teen queen.She acted out the ‘Myley Cyrus Show’ skit alongside Bryan Cranston and Paul Brittain. Cranston played Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus and Brittain, Johnny Depp.
In the skit ‘Cyrus’ was super confident, extremely energetic and pretty self-focused. She also used the phrase “pretty cool” a ton, which may turn out to be a new catch phrase, akin to Paris Hilton’s “That’s hot.”Bayer captured the accent, down-homeyness and gravel voice of the teen star Cyrus.
Paul Brittain, a newcomer to SNL, played Depp quite beautifully, so good in fact, that it was easy to get him confused with the mega star. Both of the comedians did a fine job and if this is any indication of their acting ability and comedic timing, they may end up doing pretty well on the show and even perhaps create some classic pieces.
