“Saturday Night Live” writing team Please Don’t Destroy and host Dakota Johnson ripped each other apart in a video sketch Saturday night. They opened cordially enough, with Johnson walking into the trio’s office as they worked on writing this week’s show. She carried a drink — possibly coffee, though with the slams to come, it could very well be tea — and told them she’d seen all of their videos.
