Kevin Hart proved a surprisingly uninspired host. From a monologue
that was easily skippable, to a series of immediately forgettable sketches,
which provided light chuckles. How does a three-time hosting comedian not have
one reoccurring character? Kevin Hart hosted a show that wasn’t bad, it just
was. I’m not even mad, hell I’m excited because I got to see the Foo Fighters
rock 30 Rock… including an excellent X-Mas medley to close the show, a charming
goodnight from the rink that saw Kevin Hart ham it up on skates while Kenan
Thompson reminded us that he is in fact a Mighty Duck forever.
Rob M. and The Party Andersons continue to roll on that moneyball
towards a seemingly inevitable Hartman Trophy, but it should be noted that he
doesn’t have the highest producing cast with The Party Andersons! He’s been
both successful with Host picks AND a well chosen Cast, but if not for 197 Host
points, Megan M. and War Horse Can Dance would have the lead. It’s up to every
Host she predicted would host, to help her out in the New Year. And also, Chris
Pine. For moral support?
And sure, there could have been a better host to bring us the
Christmas episode, but I will say this… we get Sam Rockwell to open 2018! How
amazing is that?! January 13th is the next episode of Saturday Night
Live, and it gives us a half-way make in the season’s proceedings! Halsey will
be the musical guest, and admittedly I’ll look to get back on track in
reminding the League about song choices. December has been a whirlwind, with planning
and executing the Trivial Awards, running four different location events, while
also getting ready to say good-bye to Trivia Club’s Original Home of Cardinal
Rule!
Thank you for taking part, or simply enjoying, this FIFTH season
of SNL Fantasy so far in 2017! Merry Merry, Happy Happy, start making those
personal promises that you can’t hope to keep up… see you all in 2018!
LAST EPISODE: JAMES FRANCO
NEXT EPISODE: SAM ROCKWELL
