Baby Yoda made its grand return to Saturday Night Live and wanted to box Baby Groot. During Weekend Update, the character joked that training with Jake Paul had been going well. Celebrity boxing is all the rage right now and SNL decided to poke fun at the resurgence. Now, Groot and The Child have been joked about as opposite sides of the spectrum on social media for almost a year and change now. So, it’s no surprise to see the NBC series go that route. But, the boxing jokes add a whole different dimension to it. (Characterizing Baby Yoda as a sort of teen actor with brewing problems with fame is… a choice for sure…) Colin Jost and Michael Che are always down to humor such silliness and they try to hold it together as best as they can. Still, a strange sketch on a strange night of content for SNL.
