New Englanders are already hitting the middle stages of Rob Gronkowski withdrawals. He’s been ruled out for the rest of the season with a back injury, but Patriots fans can smile after last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

John Cena, last night’s host, gave viewers a taste of the Gronk experience during a game show sketch. He could honestly make a living as a Gronk impersonator for how dead-on his performance is. The Pro-Bowl tight-end’s mannerisms and hilarious laugh all shine through during the sketch, and if you close your eyes, you would swear he was the one on stage.​ 

Not to be outdone, Kenan Thompson’s Charles Barkley was also present as the host of the game show “Where’d Your Money Go?” Thompson’s Barkley dishes out financial planning advice to athletes who include Gronk.

During the sketch, Cena hilariously alludes to “Gronk’s Party Ship” and using crazy amounts of money on booze and oversized shades. Impersonations of Connor McGreggor and John Daly also make appearances in the sketch. The MMA fighter insists that the money is still flying in and Daly is, well, John Daly.

“Where’d Your Money Go?”’s categories consist of I Spent It, I Sniffed It, or She Took It. All of them are textbook examples of how celebrities end up losing it all. And let's be honest: Who wouldn’t want to see what Gronk would do with a pet cheetah?​
