- Season 34 (2008-09) Anytime there is a presidential election afoot, "Saturday Night Live" thrives off the never-ending supply of material gifted to them by bumbling politicians.
- Season 3 (1977-78) Oh, how terrific "Saturday Night Live" Season 3 was from beginning to end. Chevy Chase returned to host an episode, and it was a smash hit.
- Season 21 (1995-96) It cannot be overstated enough how incredibly "Saturday Night Live" was able to transition after the floundering Season 20. Chris Farley and Adam Sandler were gone, replaced by Groundlings alumni Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, and Chris Kattan, Season 20 featured player Molly Shannon, and stand-up comics Darrell Hammond and Jim Breuer.

In Woody Harrelson’s first three outings as “SNL” host, he’s hit the live audience (and the viewers at home) with the tried and true “SNL” cold-open format, complete with singing and acoustic guitar. Surprisingly, Harrelson doesn’t bust out the guitar for his fourth time hosting. But the monologue still manages to include that same infusion of the ...
Part of the reason Kyle Mooney (and Beck Bennett) sketches don’t play as well for some is that they’re made with an equally ridiculous knowledge of and nostalgia for very specific bits of ‘80s and ‘90s pop culture. For example, the whole premise for “Dad”? That comes from the “Saved by the Bell” episode “Rent-a-Pop,” the one where Zack has James fr...
If this isn’t the result of trying to think outside the box on product integration, then this sketch doesn’t even have that to defend it. While there are some minor quips in this sketch that would typically help it stand out, the realization that “Roadside Museum” (aka the “World’s Biggest Cheeto Museum” sketch) truly own exists for the moment of d...
As much as the Cheeto sketch doesn’t quite land, Cecily Strong’s Jo (of “Jo on the Go”) does. She’s a surprisingly realized character for a not-so-realized sketch. And going back to the cold open, her Jeanine Pirro obviously picked up a lot of steam last season, and “SNL” realizes that. It’s a shame this season premiere’s Weekend Update only has on...
Let’s just take a moment to praise Kenan for his promise to never, ever leave this show. Don’t ever leave, Kenan. “SNL” needs you and your reactions. Sure, he busts out his David Ortiz—a popular character to the live crowd, at least — on Weekend Update, but it’s clear that his strength in this episode was those reactions.
Perhaps the worst way to start things anew is to start them with one of the worst — if not the worst — aspects of current “SNL,” Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump “impression.” For a few seconds, you might think that it’s a bait and switch to introduce either a new performer for the role or to somehow write it off forever — making the “SNL” version of Tr...
One final note, specifically on the cast this season. After their two-season dues, Heidi Gardner and Chris Redd are now officially repertory players, as newcomers (“SNL” writer-turned-cast member) Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman join Ego Nwodim as featured players. (Chloe Fineman has a solid first-time outing as Marianne Williamson, but then the “Down...

Apr 15, 2024 · Wayne's World and Night at the Roxbury are based on SNL sketches, and the same goes for Coneheads and The Blues Brothers. Due to the fact that it is a sketch show, it is hard to judge episodes and seasons as a whole, but audiences have gravitated towards certain eras of the show and they have garnered high ratings and critical accolades.
