It's always great when Saturday Night Live helps a young host increase their following. After tonight's episode, I imagine a lot more people will consider themselves fans of Ariana Debose. As a Broadway actress, hosting SNL comes natural to her. Plus, the writers of this episode came prepared with great skits for her. There were a lot of great skits in this episode, such as the Sacramento Kings replacement players and Pete Davidson selling prom dresses. Most notably, the Weekend Update of this episode was one of the season's best. However, following Weekend Update, the quality of the skits dipped and the remaining ones were only mediocre. A strong episode with an okay finish. 7/10.
