Scarlett Johansson is getting rave reviews on Twitter for playing Katie Britt on SNL's cold open (video)

Note: this is not the complete cold open, but it was all I found online at first. The complete cold open, with more of creepy Britt than in the clips below, is at https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218764500

2. For a split-second I thought: wait. They got Katie Britt to play herself???

And then she opened her mouth and I knew.

That woman was bunny boiling creepy.

6. They really asked for this with that insane rebuttal, and they got it

Scarlett Johansson absolutely nailed it over and over again. Amazing.

7. I knew she was a very good actress, but....

This was a pretty awesome rebuttal to the rebuttal.

8. Kudos!

Has Saturday Night Live ever been nominated an award for a short skit? If not, this one should be the first.

14. It was posted remarkably early this week

It usually gets posted after it airs on the West Coast

15. Scarlett was brilliant, but not nearly as creepy as the real thing! nt

16. Katie should be flattered.

17. spot on

18. Disappointed

Scarlett Johansson did a fantastic job, but I thought the writing was subpar. SNL had so much to work with, but they just weren’t up to the challenge. The skit was predictable and really pretty lame, although executed well. Just my opinion.
