Lizzo

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?

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!

That's not Lizzo's fault, though. Her musical performances were both high-effort and I'm sure she sounded great, but SNL just literally can't let an artist sound good, and this time it felt like they didn't care if we could hear her at all. Like was her mic even on?

Anyway, she seemed ready for anything even though she broke in most sketches (I'm guessing she was just uncomfortable because lord knows there was nothing to laugh at.) I guess a bunch of crew and writers went home for Easter or something, because the previous episode was possibly the best written of the whole season, and this one was like SHOCKingly bad. I feel sad for Lizzo because she deserved to be in at least one memorable sketch. The only thing that came close to getting over was Please Don't Destroy, who I'm not generally impressed by, and even their segment went downhill after like a minute. Yikes.

Episode barely earned 1 star from me, but Lizzo deserves better.

I love SNL and I love it when an actor occasionally breaks character but Lizzo was not good and just busted out laughing all the time. She is very positive and happy but she is not good at live acting. It was too much.

I'm not a huge fan of hers anyway but I really think she should have just been the musical guest.

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.
