Cold Opening - Five-Timers Ah, seeing Tom Hanks here is reminding of how much I loved his hosting stint from 42. I would rank it third behind Adam’s 45 and Mulaney’s 44. It’s so obvious that this was recorded earlier. Pretty eerie silence right now; it feels so surreal seeing this legendary studio empty, yet …

Cold Opening - A Holiday Message From Dr. Anthony Fauci Cue the applause break that would go on endlessly for Kate as if she returned from saving the planet instead of making a Tiger King flop. Unlike some other hardcore fans, I still actually like Kate. Certainly more than Aidy and Cecily by this point …

Cold Opening - Justice W/Judge Jeanine Ok, the first cold open was good thanks to James & Alex’s performances, yet we didn’t need another Judge Jeanine cold open after just having one. Due to Kate’s absence, they’re having this setting clearly instead of having Kate’s Laura Ingraham having Trump on. Surprised to see them discuss …

Cold Opening - Cruz Street OH NO. The return of Aidy’s Ted Cruz. Come to think of it, having a cold open making fun of a far-right version of Sesame Street is quite clever, it could be a four-star or even a five-star worthy cold open when done properly. Yet, not in this way and …

Cold Opening - Justice W/Judge Jeanine I thought this tired impression was retired with Cecily’s ”swan song” from the finale of last season. And, yes, don’t kid yourself she obviously wanted to leave, but I guess having a horrendous last season wasn’t the best way for her to go out. A solid Jeanine Pirro impression …

Cold Opening - The Ghost of Biden Past Good to see James’ Biden returning after a solid debut in the premiere. Always great to see Chloe, and she fits Jan Psaki’s part well, even when’s she not trying to sound anything like her. Funny list by Chloe’s Psaki regarding Biden’s blunders so far as president, …

Cold Opening - NFL Press Conference Hooo boy! here comes an open that will be hard for me to figure out properly, as I’m not a sports guy, yet I did some quick research regarding this particular scandal. By the way, great to see a non-political open for a change. A good laugh from Cecily’s …

Cold Opening - Facebook Hearings The pointless applause at the beginning it still pointless. Good laugh from the opening line ”You’re watching C-SPAN on the Saturday night. Wow.” these jokes always work with me for some reason. Aristotle, Andrew, Sarah, and Punkie are in the background as basically furniture, the way the show uses some …

Immediate Pre-Show Thoughts:- This happens to be my very first ever SNL review, after getting encouraged by the likes of Stooge, the guys at OSNLAD 2.0, and Jesse Nathan. I would like thank them for giving me the confidence to start my own journey with SNL. This episode is important to me, as it’s the …
