Splitting the Check

At a restaurant dinner party, the group tries to split the check. Cecily Strong's character goes through Owen Wilson's increasingly outrageous orders with barely concealed frustration. Wilson insists that a dozen eggs he ordered was 'just a little grocery shopping' and he doesn't expect others to pay for it. He does a Urkel impression, quips 'It's 5 a.m. somewhere,' and the sketch takes a wild turn into a National Treasure/Indiana Jones parody where Wilson reveals himself as 'Dr. Indianapolis Bones,' brandishes a whip, and is immediately shot by another diner. This was a Cut for Time sketch from the Season 47 premiere, aired October 2, 2021.
