SNL and Charlize Theron Perfectly Imitate the Confused Tourists of NYC
Millions (millions) of tourists visit New York City every year. And every day New Yorkers must make the shrewd calculation to either acknowledge or direct tourists on their paths to Times Square and beyond, or to straight up ignore them.
In a bit on SNL last night, host Charlize Theron (in a fat suit) and a selection of other cast members trolled New York locals as the giant camera-wielding, preternaturally confused but otherwise inoffensive tourists we see daily. For everyone who has ever made the mistake of wanting be generous to your fellow man and was rewarded with a 30-minute story about that person's incredible timeshare in Jacksonville, Fla., this skit might feel familiar.
