Kat and I howled when we saw Jason Sudeikis’ strip club DJ character last year, and he returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend when former male stripper—and current star of Magic Mike, Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper movie—Channing Tatum was the guest host. The show made the most of his background. Tatum’s monologue revolved entirely around his former profession.
Tatum’s opening monologue:
Ladies’ Night at Bongo’s Clown Room:
Bongo’s Clown Room:
I do so appreciate it when comedy finds the funny in strippers without making jokes about our deaths or our emotional damage.
Funny how Channing Tatum comes out as a former stripper and gets asked to write and star in his own movie about it. If it were an actress her next gig would be on “Jersey Shore.”
It’s great when people can find the humor in stripping, it’s a hilarious job!
