Miss Eggy is back and men ain’t what?
Amid a whirlwind Season 50 finale episode featuring a traditional Weekend Update joke swap, the Saturday Night Live anchor desk also saw the triumphant return of crowd favorite Miss Eggy, an ebullient and pun-filled comedic alter ego of MVP Ego Nwodim‘s.
This time, the comedienne was asked back to comment on Newark’s airport safety, acting out a bit while on a JetBlue flight. “You know her, you love her, you got her fined by the FCC,” Jost introduced, as Nwodim’s character quickly got down to brass tacks about the real problem plaguing travel: bad airplane cuisine.
Ever the wordsmith and whip-smart as always, Miss Eggy refused the butternut squash ravioli, telling the attendant, “more like, better-not offer me that mess ’till you put some meat in it,” punctuating the statement with her signature “sucka!”

She added in a separate one-liner about dry Biscoff cookies: “More like you about to piss a bisc-off.”
Another top contender: “Flight attendant saying the only sandwich they got on this plane is a turkey pesto on ciabatta. All I know is this bitch ci-boutta lose her life. That bread was harder than my man when I get out the tub; his name’s Maurice, but I call him Tray, because he stay in the upright and locked position.”
Miss Eggy’s other gripe? “And y’all went and took peanuts off the plane because everybody wanna have an allergy. If you don’t take a Benadryl and shut your gay ass up.”
“And how about that TSA, huh? Putting on them Papa Smurf gloves, thinking they can feel me up just because I got a gun,” she said, as she prompted the audience for another call-and-response. While the crowd accurately shouted-out earlier that Miss Eggy don’t “play,” it was remiss to respond “strapped” when she asked, “Cause Miss Eggy stay what?”
Nwodim concluded her time with a truly terrific Eggs Benedict pun, and based on audience response, it seems the midsize bag-carrying problematic auntie comic is welcome to the anchor desk anytime.
