Saoirse (rhymes with inertia) Ronan was a game host, as likable as
she was in Lady Bird (go see Lady Bird! With your moms!), while also giving
Greta Gerwig a chance to finally get on Saturday Night Live! Ahem, I meant to say a game host, who wasn’t in any exceptionally memorable
spotlight sketches but played very well within the cast and was not brought
down by any of the flatter sketches. The only really flat moment of the episode
was The New Kid sketch, which took the uncomfortable moments of the K-Mart
sketch before it, and removed anything funny. Luke Null was given some
room to move this episode, giving him a chance to play around in the Bobby
Moynihan side of the show that has been lacking any residence… and The New Kid spotlight sketch set Null back more then anything. Still, we’re not even
halfway through this season so there’s still room to play.
In Fantasy League news, The Not Ready for First Place Players
continue to climb in the standings while The Ignorant Sluts continue to slide,
after a respectively shaky and impressive start to the season. The Party Andersons continue their
moneyballed season to remember. Rob M’s solid roster of Cast members will be
further pushed forward by not one but TWO HOSTS in the next two weeks before
the Christmas break! Yes, on December 9th James Franco will be
joined by musical guest SZA, which is arguably (as The Ignorant Sluts’ Matthew
S. put it) the first episode of the season in which the musical guest is less
famous then the host. Then on December 16th, Kevin Hart will be
hosting with musical guests The Foo Fighters! Congrats to The Party Andersons
for drafting Franco and Hart, and doing so in consecutive rounds no less!
Saturday Night Live Fantasy League VERSUS continues, with The
Party Andersons getting the Bye this week, and a couple of match-ups going down
to the wire!
LAST EPISODE: CHANCE THE RAPPER
NEXT EPISODE: JAMES FRANCO
