Video Watch Jake Gyllenhaal and Cecily Strong Spoof Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? for SNL

The skit was cut for time from the April 9 broadcast, which Gyllenhaal hosted.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Cecily Strong spoof Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in this Saturday Night Live sketch titled "Dinner with the Dean," cut for time from the April 9 edition of the sketch comedy show, which saw Gyllenhaal hosting.

With Gyllenhaal as George (renamed Louis Williams) and Strong as Martha (renamed Vanessa ...Williams), they are joined in the skit by Chloe Fineman and Andrew Dismukes who play the Honey-and-Nick-like young couple caught in the uncomfortable middle of the older pair's argument. This version, however, features Bob Ross-style dog paintings as an explanation for why Louis, the junior dean of the arts department, and Vanessa never had a baby.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee first premiered in 1962. The drama unfolds over the course of a single evening as the older couple draws the unsuspecting younger couple into their fights after a college faculty party.
