One of my all-time favorites is when Lucy Lawless hosted and did a Stevie Nicks impression for "Stevie Nicks Fajita Roundup". It's just too perfect.

That was a great watch!
I agree. But can’t watch the end. Recorded on Hulu but clearly ran over so it’s cut off. Go to peacock to watch since I subscribe. Not there. I’d be willing to not pay attention to 5 minutes of commercials which I already don’t pay attention to, to watch the end but these a-holes still can’t monetize streaming content. Sounds like a SNL sketch. Streaming has become worse than a VCR at this point.

If Hulu Live is anything like YouTube TV, the end time will be corrected (possibly by morning) so the rest of the program will be there.

Jail skit was the best skit. However, how much better would it have been with Chris Farley. Keenen is great but Farley, Murphy, and Farrell would have been a dream team on that skit

I just watched on DVR and also had it cut out before the end. Very solid show.

- I liked that they gave Loraine Newman a nice cameo despite her issues with the show. She was an OG after all.

- I liked that they gave Sinead O'Conner (RIP) a little tribute with the Mylie Cyrus song.

- Wish they would have done more for Darrell Hammond (RIP), he was a comic genius.

- Agree that Eddie Murphy was the MVP. His Tracy Morgan was hilarious, and prison sketch was great. Althought I wish Ferrel would have pushed the envelope more with a speedo as we have seen him do before.

Darrell Hammond is still alive.

A few duds but some good skits. Politics aside the Hanks ending was just weird on Jeopardy, which was otherwise really funny. Sandler and the scared straight one were my two favorites.

I was disappointed Hader wasn’t there as he is one of my all time favorites.

SNL hasn't been funny in probably 25 years. It used to be hilarious. The cast members from the beginning until probably the mid-90s were funny and likeable, and many of them are comedy legends..... And now we get dildos like Pete Davidson. Gross.

I would rather watch In Living Colour re-runs.

It's always had ebbs and flows including 25 years ago or even 50. Even back in the early 90s, go watch some of the 'classics'. They're awkward and hardly get any feedback from the crowd.

I don't watch live but catch clips occasionally and there's been some really good stuff over the last couple of decades.

I personally hate when people say how “SNL isn’t funny anymore “. Like at least they are trying. Sure, it can be hit or miss, but it’s been hit or miss the entire time. Sketch comedy is like that and there aren’t many options for it anymore
At least they are trying? Hmm. They aren't trying very hard. The writing hasn't been good since probably the late 90s, and the cast has mostly been awful during that time.

70s, 80s and early-mid 90s skits were hilarious and most of the cast members from those eras are comedy legends. Now we get a bunch of nobodies and the writing is not even close to funny. If I watch a newer episode, I MIGHT laugh once or twice but that's it.

Also, Pete Davidson is one of the biggest d-bags on the planet.

Bill Murray for president!!

RIP Belushi, Farley and Norm!
