Desperate to Entertain
The holiday gift exchange worked better than the season finale joke swap, as it included a shocked Scarlett Johannson, and maybe the edgiest collection of jokes yet.

Miss Eggy don’t play. The rare situation when the audience gets involved in the show, this time cussing, and causing Ego to improvise. “Yall fixin’ to get us fined. Lorne gonna be mad at yall for that”. MIss Eggy rules.

Jack Black’s episode ruled, but this sketch comprised of friends one upping each other, and then playing to the camera was super unique and the one i’ve rewatched the most this season.

The sequel to S49’s “Washington’s Dream”. It’s the same premise, but it’s still a great representation of absurdity in a lane that every person on Earth can find funny.

We’ve seen this before, but Mellisa McCarthy shows up and amplifies it to another level. Great work from Mikey Day and Chloe Fineman too.

John Mulaney stars as the virtue signaling liberal who can’t even remember who Hillary Clinton’s running mate was in 2016. Michael Longfellow does a great job as the creepy host, much like Bill Hader used to.

This worked best the 1st of 3 times it appeared this season. One of the most viral sketches of the year as Ariana Grande, Heidi, Sarah, and Ego sing terribly on purpose to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”, except it’s “D-O-M-I-N-G-O”

A Michael Longfellow sketch, where a dead body is on top of the water slide, and Nate Bargatze and Longfellow think of alternate ways to get the body down.

From the season finale, this felt like letting Mikey Day try something he’d been trying to get on the air for years. And it totally paid off. Sometimes the stupid stuff just works.

Loved the edge, and I love anything that involves Michael Longfellow. He’s the underdog i’m always rooting for on the show. Don’t watch this sketch with your mom though.

From the 1st episode of the season, I’ll never forget the crowd’s audible gasp when the SNL Digital Short logo appeared on the screen. The song’s a heater too.

If you haven’t watched The White Lotus, this probably won’t make a ton of sense to you. If you have seen it, then you’ll appreciate how spot on this bit was.

Get to know rookie cast member Ashley Padilla, she will get heavy reps moving forward. Her take on JoAnn Fabrics going bankrupt and claiming that “Michael’s raped her…no he didn’t” was one of the best features of the year.

This sketch should not have been funny, but Andrew Dismukes performance singing Train’s “Hey Soul Sister”, and his ability to elevate the sketch was incredible.

I hope Ariana Grande gets to host every year. Her role as the mother meeting her son’s boyfriend was so funny.

It was a quite year for the Please Don’t Destroy boys, but this bit with Scarlett Johannson from the season finale making fun of the Newark airport story was fantastic.

Ariana Grande had a tremendous episode and this bit is so perfect where she plays the role of a boy who was castrated in order to keep his high singing voice to entertain the king.
