Diner Lobster

A customer ignores his friend’s warnings and orders lobster at a diner. Instead of preparing dinner, the staff unveil a tank containing a singing lobster and his devoted daughter, Clawsette. Their plea for survival grows into an elaborate Les Misérables parody, complete with costumed singers and a makeshift barricade. As the restaurant pours its theatrical resources into changing his mind, the customer remains surprisingly practical about his next choice.

John Mulaney and Colin Jost originally pitched the sketch in 2010. It reached the show when Mulaney returned to host in April 2018.
