Longtime Saturday Night Live cast member Aidy Bryant is sick and tired of playing “teachers, principals, mothers, and women named Diane, Susan, or Teacher,” as Bryant describes in a straight-to-camera introduction on last night’s episode of SNL. Bryant explains that she has convinced/tricked host Oscar Isaac into starring opposite her “recurring” character, “The Sexual Woman,” in a sketch called “Aidy’s Dream.” Her ten-year SNL tenure, according to Bryant, has more than earned her the right to write a sketch that “shows a different side of herself.” Fans of Bryant, however, will definitely recognize her trademarks in “The Sexual Woman” — an old-timey fancy-lady caricature inspired by Golden Age Hollywood, a character type that Bryant herself has described to Vulture as “baggooo ladies.” In any case, “Aidy’s Dream” is a delightful five minutes, made all the more enjoyable by Bryant’s boundless charm and Isaac’s weird lisp. Watch the full sketch above.
