The epic joust is far from over. MillerCoors just unleashed a fresh assault of its own.

   [The cast] works so well together, i love seeing that chemistry. It’s making me laugh a lot lately and it’s great that they’re allowing guests to poke fun at themselves or to just show how funny they can be too. ‘SNL’ has this great sixth sense when they can tell if someone is genuinely funny, but they haven’t had the chance to show an audience that, let alone the world. Like, look at Harry Styles. Who would have thought? ‘SNL’ allows the person to have a space where they can be funny. And it’s neat that we’re seeing that more with the guests.
