Ana De Armas is a very beautiful person. There, I said something positive about this episode.
SNL has become so needlessly repetitive. Repetitive in the jokes told in each skit, and repetitive in the skits themselves.
The "Matt Schatt" skit has been done recently. Whenever SNL has a physically attractive woman host they always do this one. A completely one note joke skit. I'll say this for Mikey Day, he's a good sport.
Weekend Update was "okay", although the guest bits were not good. I don't know what Sarah Sherman was trying to do, and Molly's thing was well-intentioned but she needs to fix her delivery. Yelling isn't necessarily funny.
I honestly don't care about the "Please Don't Destroy" videos anymore. By the way, those guys aren't SNL's "writing staff", every cast member writes on this show, those are just the cast members not talented enough for live tv, that's all.
The night really ended on a thud though when SNL brought back their viral Ngo skit. "Lisa from Temecula." This is a perfect example of why this show struggles now, like not understanding the comedic process of showing restraint.
The original skit went "viral" because Pedro Pascal broke, and it was unexpected. This iteration, coming less than two months after, was a nearly identical repeat, just without the charisma of Pedro Pascal to salvage it. It's like trying to recapture lightning in a bottle, it was never going to work.
