Molly Shannon returned to Studio 8H and reunited with former co‑star Will Ferrell in a sketch built around a group of high school students anxiously awaiting the posting of their upcoming musical’s cast list. The energy is chaotic, earnest, and perfectly teen‑theater‑kid.

In “Cast List 2,” Molly makes her entrance closer to the end, stepping in as the school’s (handsy) choir teacher and the musical’s overly involved music director. Her timing, her physical comedy, her signature unpredictability — it all lands with that classic Molly Shannon spark.
