We’re a week late, apologies! This was my points breakdown as
well, so only I can take the blame on this one. Though I’ve set a good bar for
everyone else in the League now. Matt Damon’s hosted episode is right around
the corner, as in it happened yesterday, so the points breakdown will be up
within the next few days.
Jason Momoa was a fun host, and is an immensely charismatic and enjoyable
person to have on the show. With a beard like that, and no doubt a contract
somewhere that keeps him from doing a Galifinak-shave midway through the show,
it was great to see how they fit the big guy in sketches. Somehow the sketch
the tried the least, Elf on a Shelf, might have been his best and earliest of
the night.
The less said about & Sons the better, though I will say the
set design was very nice looking.
The Matt Damon hosted episode of Saturday Night Live on December
15th then closed out the year, so we’ll see you again in 2019 for
more SNL and Fantasy League goodness!
LAST EPISODE: CLAIRE FOY
