Lizzo

Lizzo is great but the writing let her down here. She even got let down by the bad sound mix in her performances. Sad to see so many performers let down by lazy writing.

Despite the fatphobic racist reviewers over here, i LOVED to see that Lizzo killing it this episode while living her best time on this episode! She literally swept this episode and left no crumbs! Special shoutout for Sarah Sherman- Andrew Dismukes and Ego Nwodim they literally cracking me up especially in this episode!

This was the worst episode ever, and not due to Lizzo. She was cute, and did okay. But the sketches were just so dumb. Not even satirical. I did laugh at the Beanie Babies, as my son had over 500 in the late 90s and early aughts. But the Six Flags thing was hugely embarassing. And going way back with Black Eyed Peas? That's the best they could do?

I just wanted it all to get over.

I love SNL but this episode was disappointing. Sometimes the musical guest should just be the musical guest. I'm not necessarily a fan of her music but I still think she's a solid musical performer. What she isn't is an actor, comedian, or sketch performer. Probably would have turned out much better with a different host, Lizzo as the musical guest, and still have Lizzo assist in one or two of the music inspired sketches.

I'll start by saying I believe Lizzo is obviously a very talented individual. She gave it 100% all episode long.

The content of many of the skits felt a little flat this week. The "Mr. Six" skit was bizarre but pretty good, however one-note the joke itself was. The game show skit went absolutely no where, boring, and everything after Weekend Update were misses

This episode included jokes about Six Flags 2000's commercials, Beanie Babies, the 2009 Black Eyed Peas (very random), and Mario.

Other than the once-a-week cold-open arbitrary political skit nothing on this show is topical anymore, which is very odd considering every day on Earth is a never-ending firehouse spout of breaking news, a hellhole of bad news....ok maybe I do get why they're going nostalgia.

Btw is Pete Davidson still a cast member?
