In its first episode back after summer hiatus, “Saturday Night Live” dove back into pop culture headlines by producing sketches that parodied “The View” co-hosts’ expe…
The former sketch featured Wilson as a doctor who interrupted a talk show titled “The Talking” while it was live to first tell Heidi Gardner’s character that she had tested positive.

This was similar to the saga at “The View,” which pulled hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro from the Sept. 24 show, only for reports to surface later that they had received false positive tests. “Star Trek: Ego Quest” featured Wilson as Bezos , with a cameo from his real-life brother Luke Wilson as Bezos’ real-life brother, who made up the crew of “weirdos.” Alex Moffat played Richard Branson, who was flying his own purple-lit, Virgin-branded space shuttle alongside Bezos’; the two embarked upon a race.
Once he stepped inside the booth, things got a little more complicated, though, as he was asked to deliver more adult dialogue than for what Pixar is traditionally known. This includes “Back off, jackass, I wasn’t looking at your wife”; “Grow up, man, your sister sure did” and “What college do you girls go to? Oh you’re in high school? Could have fooled me.
