It’s Wednesday, which means for the world of *SNL*, it’s time for a new episode of *The Rundown*. This week’s installment features **Sarah Sherman** picking the best “10-to-1” sketch. 

“It’s the danger zone, it’s the weirdo zone,” Sherman said of this slot in an episode.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of the “10-to-1” sketch, this is where *SNL* often stashes its strangest, most bizarre sketch. ([Think “Potato Chip” featuring **Jason Sudeikis** and **Will Forte**.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4asQ1-vUugA&ref=theomnicosm.com)) These are sketches that are too wild — or inappropriate — to fit anywhere else in the show.

Who better than Sherman — a performer who specializes in body horror/humor and also goes by “Sarah Squirm” — to pick a sketch for this slot in The Rundown? Sherman choosing the vomit-heavy “Rookie Cop” absolutely feels right.

The funny thing about picking “Rookie Cop” is that, at least according to the rundown on the *SNL* wiki, it wasn’t even a “10-to-1” sketch. Yes, it was a “weirdo” sketch, but it aired immediately after Weekend Update.

At least Sherman didn’t pick a sketch of her own for *The Rundown*, [like someone else](https://www.theomnicosm.com/the-cold-open-snl-the-rundown-dana-carvey/) ...
