✨Finally! Been hoping to see more of beautiful Marcello! What a man! I figured I’d include a few clips of Andrew Dismukes too. Glad to see more of him as well, especially now that he’s thickened up and doesn’t look so boyish.✨

The good news is that at the halfway point, this Kristen Wiig episode of SNL will probably get in the Top 5 of the season. The monologue was a fun subversion of SNL 5-Timers Club and how often people join.

The bad news is that it is relying a lot on guest stars like Matt Damon, Will Forte (who is doing his best to make up for the sins of his SNL episode), and John Hamm.

The best sketch with the current cast was the Jumanji sketch with Andrew Dismukes. Heidi tried her best to make her secretary character work.

Saturday Night Live S49E16: Kristen Wiig

How epic was last weekend's episode of SNL?? Wiig is one of the all-time greats, it shouldn’t be a surprise, but you never really know with this show. Sometimes the host’s humor doesn’t gel well with the cast or translate to the audience. Sometimes the energy is just... off.

Wiig's been beloved as a comedian for a long time, but I gained even more appreciation for her after this episode. The sketches she picked, not only did they play to her strengths but also gave other people the opportunity to shine. And her humor is so fluid: she can do loud, physical comedy as well as subtle, niche comedy. Like the secret ingredient to everything, she elevates any dish.

Let’s start with the cameos because IT WAS STACKED. Any of the guests on any given night would have been enough, but she is getting inducted into the “Five-Timers Club”, so the show pulled out all the stops.

It starts off with Paul Rudd and Matt Damon in the audience; cuts to Jon Hamm, Martin Short, Fred Armisen, and (my beloved) Will Forte off to the side; and — as if that wasn't enough — it ends with Ryan Gosling bequeathing her the coveted jacket. JUST BANANAS. Full monologue HERE.

It was reminiscent of her last episode as a cast member, with legend after legend seeing her off.

NOW, ONTO THE SKETCHES:

JUMANJI – Andrew Dismukes is his own person but there’s something about him that reminds me of Forte. His humor is not as unconventional but he has a similar dedication to absurdity. With sheer commitment, he makes a lot of stuff work that really shouldn’t. So it made sense to me that Forte was invited to this sketch—which I can only assume came from the mind of Dismukes.

No offense to the current SNL batch, I like them a lot, but this episode made it apparent that Wiig, Forte, (and also Armisen) are on another level. Wiig, the reigning queen of the batshit lady, set the tone for this bizarre scenario. She made it work. Forte, the ultimate king of 10 to 1 sketches, added credibility to it. I'm trying to imagine it with Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day as placeholders for Wiig and Forte, respectively, and while I could still see it kind of working, I don't know if it would be as memorable.

PILATES (Pre-Tape) – this could should be an actual movie. Wiig as the creepy, high-energy instructor calling everyone "Mamas" cracked me up. Partly because it reminded me of Kaley Cuoco’s irritation with the pet name, which she recently griped about on the Conan Needs a Friend podcast.

SECRETARIES – this sketch wasn’t made for Jon Hamm but it was also made for Jon Hamm. Trudy made her first appearance when Pete Davidson hosted at the start of the season. Gardener carried that sketch the best she could but now she had two aces up her sleeve: Wiig and Hamm. Wiig, as Tootie, dived into the screwball comedy complete with mid-Atlantic accent; while Hamm only needed to revisit his role as Don Draper. I was near tears seeing them at the brink of breaking near the end. Also made me miss seeing them in Bill Hader’s Vincent Price sketches. It's got a similar vibe.

RETIREMENT PARTY – my favorite sketch of the night. This was the closest an alumnus has ever gotten to recreating the mid to late-aughts vibe of SNL, my favorite era. I've not thought about this sketch much or particularly missed it, but when Wiig came out with her oxygen tank, Armisen in his knee-length trousers, and Forte in his Hamilton wig, I was hit with so much joy and nostalgia. Made me realize how much I, as a viewer, took for granted, spoiled with such a wealth of hilarious recurring sketches.

Jason Sudeikis was often the perfect straight man for these sketches, but Day did a good job reacting to all the unhinged guests. I also wonder if he had a hand in writing it as Wiig’s lines sounded like something his character Supercentenarian Mort Fellner would say.

WEEKEND UPDATE – once again, Marcello Hernandez ruled behind the desk, this time as the 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake that recently (very gently) shook New York. He was later joined by Keenan Thompson as the Solar Eclipse. Not the biggest fan of Thompson but I do enjoy his dynamic with Hernandez. Wiig, on the other hand, reprised her favorite character, movie critic Aunt Linda. Her film reviews are always a riot but she had me cackling the moment she referred to Colin as Seth.

GO-KARTS – solid sketch that got me so invested and left me with many questions: What’s the bad thing? Why would it get Daddy drinking again? But mostly, who’s Sheila? Chloe Troast’s reveal off to the side was a nice touch. And the nickname, Big C, had me hollering.

LA MAISON DU BANG! – this was the sort of sketch Wiig used to do a lot with Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler back in the day and while I enjoyed seeing how much fun they were having, it was never something I got overly excited about. But seeing a version of it reborn was a delight. Molly Kearney leaping into frame with a saxophone was a welcome surprise. Reminiscent of Sudeikis’ tracksuit-wearing dancer in What Up With That?.

The musical guest, Raye, also killed it. She's like Amy Winehouse reincarnate. She sang barefoot at one point and I loved that tiny detail.

Links to her incredible performances HERE and HERE.

Fantastic show, all around. Best of the season, so far.

There are a lot of SNL sketches I love and could rewatch a thousand times, which is why I keep watching the show, but GOOD GOD do they miss the mark again and again.

I liked the cold open in the last episode a lot, I loved Marcello‘s Weekend Update segment and Update in general, I smiled at the Eyes sketch.

But GOOD GOD MAN.

I did not expect a Try Guys sketch to rile me up this much (because I did not expect a Try Guys sketch at all), but you must do something incredibly wrong to leave me with an aftertaste comparable to the one I had from the Bill Burr monologue and the Depp vs Heard sketch. How a show can roll out incredibly progressive and feminist sketches again and again and then act like that shit is fair game is beyond me. It‘s not „balance“ either- it‘s pandering.

I hated this sketch (there are plenty of other people who have already explained why) and while 90% of people who watched it had the same reaction, there are still somehow multiple news articles praising it.

Imo, this just goes to show how the media industry works.

This sketch was by far not the worst one SNL has ever done (making fun of Whitney Houston and later Brittany Murphy for addictions (or, in Murphy‘s case, an ALLEGED addiction) take the cake), but they really put out a sketch mocking a company for showing accountability considering inappropriate workplace behaviour in the year 2022.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

(I mean, we all know who, but still.)

SNL needs to time things out better, so we get at least 3 sketches in the back half, but tonight's episode is the best one since October. Just fun having Kristen's vibes back, and I hope the show manages to carry that energy on for next week Ryan Gosling episode. Excited to see cut-for-times later.

Very nice use of Dismukes and JAJ tonight. (But use Longfellow, show! He is a star! Should not be shutout of episodes!)

This is either number 2 or 3 of S49 depending on how I feel in the morning.
