I don't know if the comedians are finally Fed Up with everyone, or maybe Lorne Michaels was out of town, but this episode marks our return to the edge that's been missing for so long from Saturday Night Live. The opening monologue fairly destroyed both sides of the political parties causing as it should be. Rachel Brosnahan timing is a little off which is strange since she is mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime's number one rated show, but she lasts strong throughout the show. And when was the last time the show is not only funny but had a kick-ass musical group? Welcome Greta Van Fleet! Finally, we have an SNL that we can all be proud to watch. Let's hope this is a start of a very good 2019 from 1 Rockefeller Center.!!!

WOW! After about ten years, an episode that was actually hilarious?

I've no clue who the hostess is, but she was pretty good.
No matter, because the writing here has gone back to the 00's. Well written sketches that are actually funny and non-politically correct as well as not being all liberally sided...
That said, the musical guest, while clearly talented, seemed like a joke. They were like a parody band. They should rename themselves "Yid Zeppelin"...
The best episode in quite a while!

I had long recorded SNL each week but finally took it off my DVR list in December, the skits had just gotten so idiotic (other than the Trump skits, he provides endless material) that I couldn't take it any longer. I went ahead and recorded yesterday's episode when I heard it was being hosted by Rachel Brosnahan and Greta Van Fleet were musical guests - two of my absolute favorites. Imagine my delight when I watched the show this morning - the skits were all very timely, absolutely on point and funny/entertaining! The Barbie intern skit was the only one I could have done without, although Rachel's character raised it above the usual idiocy. I don't know if they have new writers or what's the cause of the improved material, I certainly hope they keep it up!
The best of the season
