That Lollipop sketch was one of my favorite this season.

That was good. So were the Roach-Ex and Puppy Pound fake ads, the cake competition, Fresh Takes (the school show with the loose-lipped teacher), and Beck Bennet's Jules thing on Update. I thought this was the best episode in a while.

best game show sketch of the year so far, even if it was a little clunky in spots
also Toilet Death Ejector

That game show was so great. John Mulaney should host every year.

And the Bodega Man sketch was pretty good/loling.

Game show sketch was repeat/extension of similar one some seasons ago, I remember guest knowing all these people then host brings out the contestants door man. Super good episode through and through (minus music guest). Bodega sketch was epic and refreshing for them. Didn’t they do an epic musical kinda thing last time he hosted? Header is always a great of course.

The musical sketch from Mulaney's first time hosting was an unrealized one that he had crafted back when he was a writer on SNL that he finally got to sneak in as a host. So, either he had more of these stashed away, or the success of the first one made them go for it again.
He's the best host they've had in...I dunno, decades? Is that overstating it? His "Cha Cha Slide" dance turned an underfed sketch premise into a outrageously delightful bit of physical comedy.

how was he never a cast member? granted there was a talent there when he was a writer, but still
This was great died laughing at the McKinnon mulaney to have and have not sketch

Loved Mulaney. Hated Thomas Rhett, the musical act.

I watched 5 seconds of the musical guest singing, went NOPE, and FF'd it.
The Bodega Man sketch part with the 'man who doesn't work there but is watching soccer on tv'...omg.
― Yerac, Monday, 4 March 2019 14:07 (five years ago) link
I remember when they brought him out to do a weekend update bit when he was a writer. He looked like he was 12. I agree, he probably wasn’t ready!
― dan selzer, Monday, 4 March 2019 17:57 (five years ago) link
I bet he’s working on a new hour because his monologue was funnier than his entire last comedy special.

Macro dosing film critic had me in stitches. Pretty spotty episode otherwise though nephew skit was great and I have to admit touchy Biden was good.
― dan selzer, Monday, 8 April 2019 13:12 (five years ago) link
All of Weekend Update was better than average. Aidy was so good in the nephew sketch.

All in all pretty good one although harrington is as good at comedy as he is at other kinds of acting.

harrington gave a hilariously blank performance in andy samberg's 7 days in hell.

SNL's politics are conservative/reactionary, just like any org with a rich 74-yo Democrat at the helm

I love the AV Club's SNL recap/reviews because the dude who writes them is literally enraged, every week, that he had to take 90 minutes out of his week to watch jokes that were not about how Donald Trump is the most evil person in human history and should be subject to mob execution.

another dire episode with maybe two funny bits. I'm old and have no idea who BTS are but I agree with teenagers across the world that they were the best thing on the show.

che and jost are both terrible. che just thinks being mean-spirited and mumbly is edgy humor, but it just makes him a dickhead who is difficult to understand
― be the 2 chainz you want 2 see in the world (m bison), Saturday, 20 April 2019 04:04 (five years ago) link

Kinda thin-skinned for someone in his line of work, and his response is not really funny either . But Lorne apparently likes both he and Jost, so they have nothing to worry about
