Briefly

Mikey Madison energized Saturday Night Live's 50th season with a dramatic adaptation of SpongeBob SquarePants, fulfilling her vision in collaboration with Please Don't Destroy. The sketch humorously portrayed Madison's belief that the animated series was about "a friend group navigating life in their early 20s," despite skepticism from her co-stars. The narrative revealed a time jump where they ironically spent three years developing the adaptation 'Treading Water,' featuring absurd plot twists and unconventional character relationships. Additionally, the episode showcased country artist Morgan Wallen as the musical guest, though his abrupt exit garnered mixed responses on social media.
