Saturday Night Live recap: Jacob Elordi’s 2024 kickoff is less burn, more simmer
The Saltburn star is joined by Mean Girls singer-actress Reneé Rapp as musical guest
TV Reviews Saturday Night Live
Jacob Elordi is very tall (6 foot 5 inches, to be exact), very Australian (he was born in Brisbane) and very handsome (the entirety of Saltburn hinges on how his nuclear hotness can reduce a person to homicidal mania). They’re three attributes that Saturday Night Live heavily played into for season 49's first episode of the new year—and overly so.
Returning from its annual holiday break (the last fresh SNL was the Kate McKinnon-hosted edition on December 16), the sketch comedy show kicked off 2024 with a Gen Z fever dream, pairing the hunky Aussie host with singer-actress Reneé Rapp as musical guest. (Along with promoting her debut album Snow Angel, Rapp has taken on the iconic role of Regina George in the 2024 Mean Girls movie musical, but more on that in a minute.) Together, they made for a new-year premiere that was full of hormones, but light on humor.
Opening monologue: Jacob Elordi’s here and he’s hot
After a decidedly unsexy cold open that featured James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump beaming in from his second E. Jean Carroll defamation trial., where the ex-president waxed nonsensical about everything from his posture (“Arms like a G.I. Joe, legs like the ‘Smooth Criminal’ video) to O.G. Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert (“Left out of remake, so sad…but she’s doing great things in terms of Hallmark movies”), Elordi took to the stage to intro “the first and, so far, best show of 2024.” The Priscilla star took questions from the studio audience about his “favorite” Elvis (the one in Lilo & Stitch), discussed the varying demographics of Saltburn viewers (“If you saw the movie with your parents, I’m sorry. And if you saw the movie with your girlfriend, you’re welcome”) and dodged “Hi babygirl!” interjections, but the jokes were few and far between. His hair looked great, though.
The best over-the-top make-out of the night:
We love a host who’s game to get physical with their comedy, especially when it comes to an aggressive snog (the recurring “Last Call” bit with Kate McKinnon’s Sheila Sovage is one of the best vehicles for this), and Elordi proved no exception in this The Bachelorette-inspired dating show where the male contestants are all “short kings” (i.e. 5 foot 7 and under). Chloe Fineman is totally down to pick one of the petite fellas, until over-six-foot suitor Jackson (Elordi) arrives armed with plenty of red flags (he “technically” still has a girlfriend and needs to borrow $200,000) but a broad wingspan. “Yeah, I choose him,” she groans immediately before mounting Elordi like Barry Keoghan did to that gravesite.
The most bi panic-inducing sketch of the night:
While Rapp was mostly relegated to the musical stage during Saturday’s episode, The Sex Lives of College Girls actress did crop up alongside Elordi (plus Bowen Yang) to horn up of all of TikTok as “little lesbian intern Reneé” in an Entertainment Tonight sketch that saw the trio as “professional” lip readers tasked with breaking down exactly what Timothée, Kylie and the like were whispering to each other during all those awards shows. “This isn’t an exact science,” Bowen’s character warns the ET hosts (Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim), before offering up such dumb-dumb gems as “Je joue le Oompa Loompa” as the Wonka star, “I’m a big guy, stomp, stomp” (Travis Kelce) and “Goop goop goop, love you baby” (on-trial Gwyneth Paltrow).
The best non-horny sketch of the night:
This faux Alaska Airlines commercial was a nicely savage roast of the company’s recent wall-of-the-plane-broke-off-mid-flight snafu, plus it was one of the only bits of the evening that didn’t rely on Elordi’s prettiness as a punchline. Jacob joined cast members like Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner as flight attendants, detailing the various changes that the airline has implemented in the wake of that PR disaster. Those bolts that “hold the plane together”? They’re gonna tighten those. Oh yeah, and they’ve brought back Sully out of retirement (much to his chagrin). “Alaska Airlines. You didn’t die and you got a cool story!”
The overall cringiest sketch of the night:
The most groan-worthy set-up of the evening was soundtracked by literal groans, but the thirsty kind. Jacob Elordi walks into a Women Supporting Women gathering and they instantly discard their mission of solidary for a full ogle session. A wayward Alcoholics Anonymous seeker, Elordi’s character reveals that he has subbed out his substance abuse with uncontrollable promiscuity. (“I would wear those poor women like a gas mask.”) Naturally, the women are very interested to learn more (“I don’t want to be too graphic.” “Please do!”), particularly Punkie Johnson, who winds up bra out and breathless. Chloe Fineman fully breaking beside her makes it all watchable but barely.
The best use of a celebrity cameo:
Before Reneé Rapp’s second musical performance of the night—for her track “Not My Fault,” off the Mean Girls soundtrack—she was introduced by a very special guest: yes, the original queen of The Plastics herself, Rachel McAdams. It was a lovely passing-of-the-torch moment between the Regina George performers, which continued as they applauded and blew kisses to each other during Elordi’s closing. McAdams would also join in for one sketch during the show: as a wannabe actress who just so happens to look exactly like Oscar-nominated star Rachel McAdams.
Stray observations
- Every giant birthday cake should have a surprise Megan Thee Stallion on the inside.
- The credits promised a new Please Don’t Destroy digital this week, but it looks like the trio was bumped for time?
- If this episode was for the Gen Z babies, next week’s SNL host/musical guest combo is firmly for the millennials: it’s a The Social Network reunion between Dakota Johnson and Justin Timberlake.

This episode made me wish the Writers were still on strike.
Having just watched the episode, I think they were
For the first time this season I would hand out a grade better than the writer of the article.
I liked the cold open and the Weekend update. I give this show though only a C rating.
I thought the host was very game and did his best, and that deserves some recognition. It’s not an easy gig.
The only funny sketch was Club Shay Shay Extended Cut.
Agreed, and yet it’s not mentioned in the review at all…
At this point, being short should be basically considered disabled because the world treats you like you are unlovable. Short Kings sketch was too close to home for me. People didn’t used to be this mean, when I grew up short jokes were a thing, but you never felt like the world was going to be a constant struggle, it wasn’t like a little person or something. (Dwarf). Now women are so picky that you might as well be under 5 foot even at 5’7″. I guess it was never fair with dwarves either. But at least far less of us suffered. In the old days just as long as you were taller than the lady you could theoretically hook up with anyone but now all women are socially pressured to date 6+ foot men. I finally found the love of my life, but it was so hard to find her, and this sketch stoked fears that if a guy this tall wanted my wife she would probably leave me. I know it.
OK that’s it sorry for being weird but just wanted to explain some things about the real life of a short king. You can laugh at the sketch but try to see things from the other side too. Just because my legs are short, and his legs are long I am an average guy, and he is a sex god. That is the fairness of nature’s cruel dice rolls.
I’m also supposed to have a million dollars, somehow, according to Jost. A real ‘feel good’ episode of SNL. I turned it off after Update.
I’m sorry you don’t fit into Hollywood’s definition of ideal. Welcome to the vast majority of men and women on the planet. But please – being a short guy is not a “disability.” I’ve dated plenty of them. And now, thanks to M.S., I have an actual mild disability, and apparently dating was removed from the table completely. Just a poor choice of words.
Not sure if it’s worth something to you, but three people in my family have MS. One of them is in his 70s but my cousins who have it and are around my age both have partners and children. I’m saying that not to dispute you but to hopefully give you a little hope that it can happen for you, too (if it’s something you want). It doesn’t have to be off the table! I’m sorry you’re going through this–I’m sure it is harder. Very best of luck!
Thank you! That was lovely to hear! Hope your family members are doing well. It’s not easy.
Short men are the last group of people that it seems to be ok to mock, since society determined (thankfully) that you can’t make fun if bigger bodied people any more Yeah, that skit was painfully true.
I didn’t understand why that skit was funny. Have shorter men really become scapegoated? I’ve dated two very tall men and, though that’s not why it didn’t work, I always felt very uncomfortable. The male to female ratio in my city is so severe that men of any height have a lot of choices. Idk, maybe Robert Reich owes his 4′ 11″ height to his success. It’s unfortunate that he suffers from a rare genetic disorder.
And we don’t see an avalanche of sympathy articles because someone (who is considered traditionally attractive) like cruise is lamenting how one casting director ten years ago said he was too short to play a role
Go to any comments section on an article about airline travel and you’ll see it’s still absolutely socially acceptable to mock fat people. You’re not alone, my dude. Body positivity didn’t make that evaporate.Happily married to a short king – women who date short men are definitely out there.
Far jokes per se are definitely frowned upon. Having to sit next to a really heavy person on a plane is a nightmare though, and not unreasonable to complain about.
“Short men are the last group of people that it seems to be ok to mock”I mean that’s not exactly true because fat people are still mocked a lot, but for whatever it’s worth I feel like these short king sketches are Marcello Hernandez’s idea so I don’t think it’s coming from a place of mocking short men, rather it’s to call attention to how this can happen in society. It seemed more of a joke on the woman and the tall guy than the short guys (which is also a problem because “wimmin amirite” isn’t that funny).
Well yeah, which is why I said ‘painfully true’ which is the root of a lot of comedy.Despite that, can you imagine them running the same sketch, but it’s three overweight women with a thin girl as the special guest? Probably not.
Right, but you also said it was mocking short men, which I don’t think it is intending to do, though I see why that was perceived.“Despite that, can you imagine them running the same sketch, but it’s three overweight women with a thin girl as the special guest? Probably not.”Can you imagine the show ever having three overweight women on the cast? Probably not.
Michael J Fox and Tom Cruise seem to do ok. Buck up little camper! You got a gal who loves you! It’s not height but confidence that people are attracted to. You ever watch an old James Cagney movie and wonder how the smallest guy on the screen ran the gang? Self-possession and confidence! (ALSO— in the gangster sense— total psychopathy…lol)
I totally agree. Most of the short guys I know make out like gangbusters. And none of them seem slightly bothered by it. Confidence is appealing.
,
And yet, if you go on a dating site or anything, at least 80% of women’s profiles say something along the lines of “don’t bother if you’re under 6 feet tall” or “must be tall” or blah blah blah…
I wonder if it’s the difference between real life and online life. Because in real life, all the short men I know (including my husband!) are doing fine, and only once have I ever heard an adult woman say she would not date a man under 6 feet (and she was tall herself, and screwed up in a whole lot of ways).
It’s not height but confidence that people are attracted to. Yep. Personality, y’all. Comfort in one’s own skin.
“You ever watch an old James Cagney movie and wonder how the smallest guy on the screen ran the gang? Self-possession and confidence!”Humphrey Bogart too!
The skit would be more realistic if the woman was herself shorter than all the short men.Good news: The Bear star and underwear model Jeremy Allen White is 5 foot 7. The whole nation is thirsting on a short king.
Look at Cillian Murphy – he’s supposedly 5’7″ but I saw him once and I swear he’s shorter than that. And all my friends and I have been crushing on him since 21 Days Later.
i don’t think the target of the sketch was really who you thought it was, the short kings were all nice and normal and reasonable but she threw that all away in the blink of an eye and went for the obvious nightmare / moron / scumbag just cause he was tall
honestly the punchline leans more towards a simple “haha, don’t women make bad decisions cause they’re shallow” which is reductive in its own way
just as long as you were taller than the lady
I genuinely never understood that part most of all. I get the absolute tallness / shortness “value” in the same way I can understand the thin / fat “value” of socially defined beauty standards (which cause a lot of problems, but they follow this kinda universal formula), but I never got the relative one. Both are bad, but the relative one is insane – it’s not “this type of person is conventionally attractive” but it’s “you must have this specific difference from your mate”. It’s prescriptive.
Eh, it’s all semantics.
I’m sorry you’ve experienced this, and I’m sorrier that you have such a low opinion of your wife. If she leaves you it won’t be because she met a taller guy; it’ll be because you accuse her of being so faithless.And your insecurity is every woman who doesn’t have a flat belly or has sagging boobs or a flat butt or any number of things. Everyone is insecure about something. Even the “perfect” people—why do you think the Hollywood stars are constantly getting plastic surgery. This feeling sorry for yourself thing is going to make your life way more miserable than it needs to be. Appreciate who you are and other people will too.
Life’s rough for all of us. For instance, sometimes I hit my head on stuff…
One joke about the hotness of the host is allowed. It is almost never funny.
Agreed. 1 is plenty. 3 is overkill.
Dakota Johnson must be going on SNL to plug the How Did This Get Made? podcast three consecutive nights of live shows honoring the 50 Shades trilogy.https://hdtgm.com/index/#tour
I assumed it was building some attention for Madame Web.Since I think she’s an awful actress, I have little hope for that one…
I haven’t labeled her a ‘bad actress’ yet, I’m just so confused by the hype vs. talent ratio I’ve seen so far. She’s just kind of nepo-pretty to me at this point.
Yeah this one was real bad.The bowling one might have been the closest to good, among the live stuff, but all the “Let’s see what it does next!” dialogue was extremely forced.
Jacob Elordi is one of those rare actors who is so strikingly good-looking that it is almost absurd. Not leaning into that would have been a huge miss. They do the same with Ryan Gosling and it works.I love it when the women of SNL satirize how shallow women can be, especially with a Jacob Elordi on their hands. The ‘short men’ and ‘AA’ sketches reminded me of Tina Fey & Amy Poehler’s style of writing when they’re having a good time and want to make a point, fully knowing it will ding some male egos. It wasn’t a great episode – maybe a C, C+ for how game everyone was, certainly not a D+.
Really? Everyone has their own tastes and maybe it’s my age, but I just don’t think he’s that good looking. He’s like… I dunno, a 6 or 7, I guess? He’s just… meh. Makes me think of Michael Phelps, maybe. Or a funhouse-mirror Christian Bale from certain angles. I just don’t get it.
I don’t know what your age is but I’m 43 and I thought he was good looking, plus it sounds like he has some steamy scenes in his movie which are upping his sex appeal. They did tone down his looks for some of the sketches which I thought was a good call. He looks nothing like Michael Phelps. lol
I’m Gen-X and way out of his age-demo and Euphoria was definitely not targeted for me. But, I begrudgingly watched it and was riveted by Jacob Elordi. He’s so physically beautiful and such a restrained and delicate actor that he made his dangerous and borderline-psychopathic “Nate Jacobs” almost sympathetic.Saltburn hinged entirely on his beauty and sensuality and it worked.The way he uses his height to to intimidate or seduce combined with how they film his physicality….he’s like a mellower and better-looking Adam Driver. I’m fully onboard but can totally understand if he’s not your type – he does have some odd angles.
The thirst over Adam Driver is one of those situations where it’s clear that what straight women find hot is often the diametric opposite of what gay men find hot, because you almost never hear gay men talking lustingly about Adam Driver (and as a gay man myself, Driver has one of the weirdest faces I’ve seen and amongst my rather large group of friends, his name is never mentioned).
At least Jacob Elordi is legitimately good looking, but his case is a common one where the characters he plays are written in such a way where people conflate the hotness of the character with the hotness of the performer. Same thing happened with Tom Hiddleston. He’s hot when he’s Loki, but only relatively good-looking as himself or other characters he’s played.int
Lastly, while I liked Saltburn, you could’ve slotted any reasonably attractive British or Australian actor into the Jacob Elordi’s character and it would’ve had the same effect. Barry Keoghan (someone else with a really weird face that people for some reason find hot) and Rosamund Pike (a goddess) carried that movie. As Paul Schrader said (and I’m paraphrasing), if you’re gonna crib from books/movies like Maurice, Brideshead Revisted, Single White Female, and The Talented Mr. Ripley, one of the central conceits is that the interloper has to possess enough traits of the people/society he’s trying to ingratiate himself/herself/themselves with to make them welcoming.
Keoghan’s character Oliver had none of those traits (not good looking, not athletic, not aristocratic, no money) yet he was ultimately successful. At least in a show like You (which Saltburn reminded me a lot of), Penn Badgley is attractive enough and obsessive enough research-wise to get away with increasingly unlikely events. In Saltburn, Keoghan’s character manages to essentially seduce everyone because…he’s present? His mere presence being seductive would make sense if the movie took place in an era before cell phones, the internet, and easy travel to and fro where being around other gay/lesbian people is unlikely (especially in more rural or suburban areas). But even in 2006 it strains credulity.
That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy Saltburn (in fact I liked it a great deal), but it’s one of those really enjoyable movies that stays enjoyable so long as you don’t think about it with a critical eye.
I love this! I truly appreciated your comment. I live in NYC and the funny thing is that I never noticed Adam Driver was supposed to be ‘hot-hot’ until my gay male designers kept pointing it out and we all watched the last two season of Girls together while they teased me. I SO love and trust their taste. I had mainly just appreciated Driver’s voice and how they handled his physicality. While I appreciated it visually, I didn’t love Saltburn enough to defend its plot-holes and 99% of my crush on Elordi came from Euphoria. So, let’s simplify it – Jacob Elordi is insanely tall, is truly good-looking, has a soft voice, a great body, a sense of humor, confidence, charisma, really sensitive eyes and is a very talented young actor getting heaps of praise for his craft.I know that’s enough to explain the fun SNL was having with that fact and him last night.
I also fully agree that Rosamund Pike is a goddess.
Some folks are really, SUPER into the “pillowcase full of doorknobs” aesthetic.
Your post reminded me of this sketch for some reason.
Yeah, he’s ok. Comparisons to Gosling, though. For me, his name has always been so perfect because he looks like a rather undeveloped, raggedly fluffy, creature. Only my opinion – not at all attractive.
I mean, he’s middling at best. No one on TV is ugly, Jacob Elordi is pretty meh if you ask me.
I’m curious – I watched the show on Peacock this morning and there wasn’t a reference to a PDD video in the opening titles – was there one when it was live?
There was.
What is PDD?
‘”What is PDD?”’I assume it’s the three or so Please Don’t Destroy guys.
oh yea! ok… and no there was no PDD short this week according to the live recording I watched. I guess they get a mention in the credits every week whether they have something to show or not.
Public display of dissatisfaction
I’ll be honest, I don’t get the whole Elordi is super handsome thing.He is good looking from certain angles, but from others, like the first picture and the lip readers freeze frame, not so much.And I was shocked that he’s only 26, he looked 38 and tired.
Yeah, I don’t get it. If they hadn’t made every joke how he’s so panty-soakingly hot I’d have never guessed he was considered particularly handsome. I mean, he’s not ugly; he’s ok looking.
is he handsome or is he just tall?
It must just be the tallness as I would have thought he was too skinny to be seen as so hot. And no hate, I’m a tall skinny guy too. Maybe it’s just what teenage girls find hot.
OK, some folks are saying he’s not usually so skinny looking so maybe I just caught him at a bad time.
It’s the accent. I’ve never seen this guy in anything so I didn’t expect it. It’s a strange phenonemon. A guy can go from “3″ to a “7″ with the right accent. Scottish guys especially. I saw an entire conference full of women academics lose their shit when one of the – maybe 15 – guys (a Scottman in Kentucky) opened his mouth.
Edit: I did see him in Euphoria but I found his character so repulsive that it detracted from any physical charms.
Outlander has a lot to answer for.
Those are some mighty thick accents. The guy at the conference wasn’t wearing a kilt, lol. I liked the show for a while but it got too rapey.
Adam Driver
Andrew Garfield
Jeremy Allen Whiteetc.what is it with these weirdly exaggerated/asymmetrical facial featured guys being considered heartthrobs?
Maybe people are tired of conventional beauty? Although I will say Andrew Garfield stands out from that list as not really belonging. He has a doll face.
I don’t think people are tired of conventional beauty. There have always been unconventional heartthrobs. People have different tastes. There are plenty of current “heartthrobs” who are conventionally attractive too. And the whole conventional/unconventional dichotomy completely downplays the role personality plays in attraction. It’s never been all looks.
Fame and money must be something like ‘beer goggles’ for women?
Andrew Garfield isn’t asymmetrical. lolAdam Driver is sexy, idgaf. He has a great voice and body, and he seems like a nice, funny, confident, down-to-earth guy. What’s not to love?
He’s also remarkably talented in a way that gives him added magnetism. My first impression of him was “who’s this oddball?” but that changed very quickly.
He really is. He brought a lot of gravitas to 65, which could easily have been just a big dumb dinosaur movie (which I also would have loved anyway), I thought.
I haven’t seen 65, but am not surprised he’s the best part. Having seen him in everything from SW to Marriage Story to Logan Lucky, there’s no denying he has great range.
I haven’t seen the end because I watched it on a flight and started it too late, and it’s on Netflix which I don’t have. I can rent it on Prime but I have another long flight next month so I’m seeing if it’s on there first. lol He was also pretty good on SNL. You can tell he enjoys acting and takes it seriously whether it’s comedy or silly adventure or whatever.
Garfield has a huge head compared to the size of his face and the skinniness of his body.
I think that’s more a result of his sometimes penchant for big hair.
Driver has tons of charisma, same with Garfield.Haven’t watched The Bear, but I’ve heard good things about White too.
He fits the twink/twunk mold and that’s enough for many young girls/gays.
He looks like a gaunt donkey.
It’s as if the writers had 1/2 of 1 OK idea, phoned the whole thing in, tossed Bowen in everything and went home.
Haven’t seen Saltburn but I have seen Priscilla, and he looked pretty handsome in that. But JESUS CHRIST is the loss of facial fat in his cheeks disturbing. I won’t speculate on what’s causing it but google “facial lipoatrophy” for examples of what I’m talking about.
The wife and I were like “This man isn’t handsome, at least not now. This man is not healthy.”
Something is going on. Hopefully is just weight loss from a demanding schedule and not procedures. If Doug Jones needs a body double, Elordi is a shoe-in.
I had the same thought. It was very noticeable. Hope he’s okay.
Ooof. That episode was awful. I would have been better off thinking the show was still on break
I notice you didn’t mention the bowling sketch, and that’s probably for the best. It had a couple of funny lines, but the premise itself is a little wtf and it went on for way too long, with a silly (unfunny kind of silly) conclusion.This episode all in all was a bit dire, but having never heard of Jacob Elordi before, I can say, like the women in the AA meeting, I wasn’t sorry to be introduced. He did fine, but writing didn’t play to his strengths, or to anyone else’s. Chloe Fineman checking out Punkie’s cleavage might have made it all worth the watch.
I feel like they did one of these bowling sketches with the weird videos after a ball was thrown before. If not SNL, someone else did it already.
I don’t recall it but it certainly didn’t strike me as fresh and new.
If I had time to spare I’d do some Googling.
Punkie Johnson really let it all hang out.
I’ve noticed this season she’s leaned into the sexy. In past seasons she played more of the butch type but this year she’s been wearing makeup and showing cleavage and stuff. I wonder if she’s just more comfortable now that she’s been on TV for a while or if that’s a production decision. I’m assuming it’s her own decision.Anyway her face when they panned to her with her shirt open was hilarious. Great comedy on her part.
I would assume her own decision. Better to be a fit for as many character types as possible on a show like SNL.
I hope Renee Rapp acts better than she dances. Yikes.
As a man with a lot of Slovakian heritage, I’m glad that fuzzy caterpillar eyebrows are making a comeback.
It’s so weird to me that it’s totally OK to base an entire SNL episode around sexualizing a dude. Would it be OK if the host was like, Emma Stone (who is inarguably beautiful) and every skit was about how much all the male cast members wanted to bang her?? That’s essentially what you got with this episode. WTF is happening?
I haven’t seen it yet but, if what you’re describing is true, it’s called “turn about is fair play” and about damn time.Deal with it.
You obviously didn’t want the Gal Gadot and Jennifer Lopez episodes of SNL! That’s exactly what those were. I think the answer is simply that if they have a host who is not experienced and/or gifted at sketch comedy, especially live, then they need to softball the sketches and build the comedy on something else than their knack for comedy and that seems to be the case for someone like Elordi as well as Gal Gadot. Both charming performers but not strong sketch comedians.
they DO do that, especially when the guest host is someone without any real comedic chops, like Kim K or J.Lo or somethingJ.Lo’s most recent episode was the most egregious example of it that i can think of. the premise of every sketch was like “everyone’s flabbergasted that J.Lo’s character is married to Mikey Day’s character” or “film noir detective is too horny to do his job because his client is J.Lo”it always feels like they don’t want to give the guest too much comedic heavy lifting to do, but also their publicist doesn’t want them to look bad maybe, i dunno
“everyone’s flabbergasted that J.Lo’s character is married to Mikey Day’s character”…which went so well they repeated it with Ana de Armas.
And the J Lo sketch itself was a repeat of what they did with Margot Robbie
M or F, it’s unfunny fucking cringe whenever they do it. It’s less “low hanging fruit” and more “apples rotting on the ground.”
You seems forget the day when Margot Robbie host SNL. The entire hours spend on the casts slobbering all over her. Or before her, Sharon Stone back in the 90s.
So you haven’t watched a single episode with a hot chick as the host.
I miss the old SNL reviews where they actually, you know, reviewed the show. Now it’s all just lazy recaps of (mostly) every sketch, with a few snide comments thrown in. Bring on AI.
Hey it’s better than the last guy they had who listed three sketches and said nothing about them. Baby steps.
The credits promised a new Please Don’t Destroy digital this week, but it looks like the trio was bumped for time?That alone should have earned the episode a higher grade
RE: Elordi’s opening monologue. Those questions from the audience: Did they get all of those audience members from the same rack?Or maybe a sorority reunion?
So many of these comments… Jezebel is back on line now, fyi.
“And in 10 minutes, [a new emergency exit] probably there [too]!”Lousy episode that I fast forwarded through most of, but you’re right; the Alaska Air commercial was one of their better ones in a while. Also, clever little slap at industry fees with the “I survived Alaska Flight 1282!” commemorative picture being ‘just $50!’
D+. This from the reviewer that thought the Pete Davidson ep this season (which was terrible) was fantastic. At this point I think avclub just writes nonsense for likes.
I’d give this episode a D, except for Punkie’s incredible double D cups! A+ right there.
In the world of travel, the quality of services plays a decisive role in determining the traveler’s experience. Almaza travel stands out as a leader in the field of Tourism, constantly offering exceptional excursion services to its travelers in one of the most fascinating destinations of all time
