Oasis brings humor and hope on “Saturday Night Live”
Gallagher brothers back on stage—sort of
A year ahead of the eagerly awaited Oasis reunion tour, Noel and Liam Gallagher appeared together on the stage of “Saturday Night Live,” albeit through hilarious impressions by James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman.
In a recent episode’s “Weekend Update,” Johnson and Sherman introduced themselves as the famously estranged Gallagher brothers. With host Colin Jost probing, they playfully promised not to break up again before their tour kicks off next year.
Teasing the tour
When Jost questioned their ability to remain amicable until the tour, their responses were classic Gallagher banter.
“Everyone’s wondering, are you guys gonna be cool to tour a year from now?” quipped Jost.
“I’m cool if he’s cool,” responded Johnson as Noel. Not to be outdone, Sherman as Liam retorted:
“I’m cool, I’m cool, I’m cooler than you are.“
Such playful jabs had Jost concluding, “Great, so that’s a no.“
What’s expected from the Oasis tour
The Oasis reunion tour is shaping up to be a monumental event in 2025. U.S. tour dates have just been added, and fans are scrambling to secure their seats. The anticipation is palpable in the air, with expectations running high for one of the most significant concert experiences of the year.
“It’s not a hard no, it’s a maybe,” teased Sherman, circling back to a beloved Oasis lyric by singing “I said maybe,” from their iconic song “Wonderwall”.
Johnson’s Noel humorously modified the lyrics, adding “if Liam doesn’t act like a baby.” What followed was a cheeky exchange of the word “baby” and some brotherly tongue-sticking, much to the delight of the audience.
Unity in cartoons
Despite their mock disagreements, there was one topic the duo wholeheartedly agreed on—their favorite cartoon characters. This lighter moment brought a unified front to their otherwise humorous sibling rivalry.
Ariana Grande’s magical touch
Heading the episode was Ariana Grande, who captivated viewers while promoting her role in ”Wicked”, the highly anticipated film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical.
In “Wicked,” Grande takes on the role of Galinda Upland, starring opposite Cynthia Erivo‘s Elphaba Thropp. This film is poised to be a game-changer with a stellar cast, including Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage. The first part is set to release on November 22, followed by the second installment the next year.
