Minding the P’s and Q’s of SNL

QUALITY: Matthew McConaughey was a game host, as was no surprise. Though
admittedly his wasn’t quite as strong a hosting gig as Elizabeth Banks overall
I would still put him above Amy Schumer in the Host Unofficial Power Rankings,
thanks to the strength of what has truly been the viral sketch of the season so
far (not the one I mentioned last week), with the simple concept pulled off to
the fullest in the “Hello” Thanksgiving lip sync video.

As standings continue to shuffle, and points keep coming in,
we’re left in an exciting position for the final three shows of 2015! Yes, the
Host’s have been announced up until episode NINE! Ryan Gosling is the odd man
out, in terms of being someone that NONE of the forty teams involved, drafted!
Still, an unexpected but exciting choice, and his being in an Adam McKay
directed film likely helped Gosling get in Lorne’s crosshairs!
Chris Hemsworth is ALSO hosting, and was drafted by ONE
team! His lack of involvement in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War had
kept him off of many a radar, as can be expected but Anthony’s Joe Pesci Showmanship
still snapped up Hemsworth for his second consecutive hosting gig, and SECOND
SNL hosting gig of 2015!
Finally, the last host of 2015 before we head into the
holiday break WASN’T a cast member of The Night Before, nor is it a Star Wars
cast member either (well, yet, there’s still hope for that one…), no it’s TWO
former cast members, two former Weekend Update anchors… it’s Tina Fey and Amy
Poehler! Both were drafted in each of the six Groups, with Organic Wifi of the
Myers Groups having drafted them both!
