[@calvinzerliegarcia1152]

The girl playing solange said in a cosmopolitan interview that Maya Rudolph is the one who cracks her up the most out of all the cast of SNL. She especially cracked on this scene and she was thankful that the camera didn’t focus on her coz she literally broke character and she could also hear the giggles and muffled laughter of thr actor who plays Jay-Z here hahaha

[@haroonyousafi5262]

The security guy’s impression needs some recognition ♥️
