Sarah Sherman and Emma Stone look like they could be related.

She's been the host before.

I know I gotta be misremembering, but...why does it seem so many hosts and musical guests are dwindling down to only certain frequent repeaters? Did they really rein in the show's per-episode budgets or something??

How many of this year's hosts have been women who were not the musical guest. Women host exclusives?

Wow, how did they get Kate to take a week off her red-hot career to return to SNL?
Hope they make room for lots of her uncanny impressions. And that woman who got kidnapped by aliens. I never got tired of seeing that!

Sarah Sherman is the new Kate McKinnon of SNL when it comes to creepy impersonations of men.

R8, very generous of you to call that an impersonation.
Bowen just used the phrase "blow me" in that song.

Candice Bergen was SNL's first female host.
She was so damn good on those episodes she did with the original cast.
She appeared in two of the best sketches they ever did, including "Consumer Probe:"

Candice is clearly kind of limited after her stroke, but her comic timing is right on point.
She should take over from Betty White and Cloris Leachman as Hollywood's go-to dirty grandma.

Love SNL history but find the “Five Timers Club” so cringe. It was a onetime sketch in the 80s that was fine for what it was. But making it an actual achievement to mark makes it lame. It’s SNL leaning into to the sort of shit it used to mock.

WTF was that pottery bit? Garner is a deadweight performer, and Fineman hasn’t much built in on her initial promise.

Marcello is that most popular high school jock who's secretly gay and fucks you on the DL under the bleachers or in his car.

Marcello is too short to be the star jock.
He was the creative type who'd experiment with you in the basement after school while publicly having a girlfriend.

The pottery sketch is their sad attempt at recreating the NPR ladies with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon or Kate's and Kristen's kitty sketch.

Do they have a hug and mingle session every week after the show? It seems excessive considering the workload of almost every other profession.

The writing staff is useless.
Emma Stone ran circles around the cast, and the best the writers could come up with was a retread of the NPR/cat ladies and a retread of the bizarre reception performers (seen in various permutations for years).

Trivia: Candice hosted SNL three times in 1975-76 because NBC had a development deal with her.
She was the runner-up to replace Barbara Walters on the Today show in 1976, the job Jane Pauley got.

Emma was very good as Mitch the record producer.

I hadn't sat down and watched the show in a couple years, just relying on highlights posted the following day. So I was taken aback how poor it was. I got through about 40 min. then had to turn it off. Game show skit? Check. Bland musical guest? Check. Bowen Yang in every skit, breaking-up? Check.
But I'm not laughing.

If you're familiar with SNL history, you know that a couple of times during Lorne Michaels's reign, NBC stepped in and said, "This isn't working. Fix it, or the show's done."
Once after the disastrous 1985-86 season, and again after the disastrous 1993-95 seasons. Both times he entirely recast and restaffed the show and revived it.
I think everyone at NBC is holding their breath to get to the 50th anniversary, but this season so far indicates the show needs another total housecleaning.
The NYMag article linked here is worth reading:

Right, R53. Heidi Gardner is not a match for the lunacy Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, and Kristen Wiig could do so well. Chloe Fineman is a talented impressionist but fades whenever she's playing anyone who isn't a celebrity. Jane Curtin and Aidy Bryant could take those everyperson roles and run with them.
This is like the Wish.com version of an SNL cast.

Marcelo’s tight little body didn’t jiggle at all while working that jackhammer. I’d love to enter him.
I’m enjoying the new cast member who played Mama Cass. Her sketch a few weeks back about the old, singing orphan was pretty hilarious.

Can’t explain it, but it feels like the show has found a way to shield itself from the criticisms it received in ‘80, ‘85 and ‘94. Maybe it’s just that there’s so much media now, people aren’t playing as close attention. Not sure. it just seems like they’re able to skate by much easier now than we could in the past. Without a doubt, this season deserves as much criticism as any of those bad seasons.

Excellent point, R63. Some of that leniency may be due to the show being so close to its 50th anniversary.
