Recently, SNL aired their latest episode which saw comedian Kenan Thompson imitating the persona of Coach Prime. The popular TV show derives real-life instances and depicts them through light-hearted skits. The world of the NFL has started to doubt the credibility of Coach Prime’s confidence due to the team’s poor performance. While Coach Prime was the SNL’s first target, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift soon became their second.

The SNL’s hilarious skit on Coach Prime
One of SNL’s regular segments is the ‘Weekend Update’ where Colin Jost and Michael Che try to portray the characters of news anchors as they try to get through the hysterical script of questions. So on the latest episode of the SNL, it made sense that Deion Sanders should be inculcated in this segment as he’s famous for his interviews and the words he has to say in them.

Comedian Kenan Thompson had the audience in splits as he demonstrated a perfect mimicry of the 2-time Super Bowl winner. In fact, his jokes couldn’t even hold Colin Jost back from laughing throughout the entire segment. The skit aimed to make fun of how confident Coach Prime is even when his team is playing poorly. There’s no doubt about the fact that he has inspirational words to say but it far from addresses the upsetting state of his team.
