I found every moment of the monologue offensive The only sketch I thought was any good was the cut for time Liberty one. Overall just a terrible episode.

Dear Food Network, please stop trying to make Matthew happen! I was hate watching this hoping he would leave in the first round or if not at the very end to cause maximum pain. He seemed almost genuine at times but it looked like it was an effort for him and the creepy smirk is still there. At the end , he was acting like “I hope the judges realize that I deserve to win”. Did I mention that I really really dislike him. I don’t care if he can cook. I just want him off my TV.

I missed a lot of the cameos. I didn’t think that those were the real property brothers. I need to go back and watch it again. I was also wondering who the blonde who looked like Sharon Stone was. Totally forgot about Leslie Knope and Biden. Meanwhile, Sam Smith has a gorgeous voice. I wish someone would just write them a good song. I could have done without all the peripheral crap. I was just hoping to hear them sing. .Bowen as Santos was fantastic. The fact that he also got to play Kitera seems almost too good to be true. I also didn’t understand why the Miss Universe skit was funny until I saw the clip above. Thank you.

Not the best show overall. The writing was weak but a lovely send-off for Cecily. I think she’s really been one of the strongest performers and I’m glad they sent her out with a song. Lizzo’s Christmas song was great. She seems like such a sweetheart. Please don’t anybody tell me she’s really nasty in person.

I didn’t notice a sound problem, I thought it was just me. In the monologue, she spoke so fast I couldn’t understand what she was saying and the same in both her songs. She definitely seemed to be lip synching to me. As a white girl, I felt that about half the sketches were not targeted to me and that I don’t have the right to review them. I don’t know whether that is a good or bad thing. I did wonder why the teacher sketches always seem to be at the end of the night. That was one of the best from my standpoint. (I may be biased because my name is Amy and I have heard the joke about how that is one of the whitest girl names before). For me the other highlights were some of the prerecorded ones, such as the Brought Along and boyfriend sweatshirt ones. I though she was one of the better hosts since she was in almost every sketch and she fully committed to everything. It would make sense that if there were sound issues, then the prerecorded ones would be easier to understand.

I agree that the five timer’s club seemed like it was supposed to be the cold open. Good for them for changing to the chorus but still including it. They definitely dropped all the guests on WU to fit it in. I love John Mulaney but the problem is that once he has a great sketch they keep redoing the same thing over and over. The original diner Les Miz was brilliant and bodega bathroom was good but they have been somewhat forgettable since. I also loved the Cha Cha Slide sketch but this was basically a copy that didn’t need to happen. I don’t think it added anything. All of the five timers are awesome and I like that Paul Rudd got to appear in one sketch and that the whole Ukrainian choir was on stage for the good nights. I didn’t like the first song from the musical guest but the second was better and definitely gave me Talking Heads vibes. Finally, the picture of that chubby little baby just killed me.Between him, the dog and the fluffy white cat it was too much cuteness to bear.

I’m another who doesn’t get Sarah’s WU bits. Is there supposed to be a reason that she dresses and does her hair and makeup like it’s 1972? If there is a joke there I guess I missed it. Didn’t love most of this show. Nothing really stood out although McGruber was OK .

I knew Ariana DeBose mostly as a phenomenal dancer but boy can she sing. I hate to say it but Kate did not sound great in comparison. Her voice is gorgeous. I also felt bad when she almost missed Kate’s fist bump when they sang I Feel Pretty and got to the lyric “gay”. She has been such an icon for the LGBTQ community.

I was just going to comment on Kid Cudi’s dress. I really really love it. I thought it was a great show overall . Bowen as the iceberg was the kind of original bizarre humor that this show was founded on and he rocked it. I didn’t see any real clunkers tonight. Never get tired of What’s Wrong sketches.

I was underwhelmed by the political stuff. Not a huge fan of the cold open. I thought that the loser line was an easy cop out. They could have done so much more. I get that Chapelle is controversial but he lost me with the sexism. The smoking was jarring and I did note the length of the monologue which is not necessarily a good thing. WU was still pretty much on fire and I liked both the hailstorm and Ford. Bronco skits. My end thoughts: I am not Chapelle’s target audience Still hate Carrey as Biden They should be using the actual cast more instead of relying on guest stars The political content was as expected and not at all creative or inspired Ego was MVP by a mile Why was everyone in black at the goodnights? They looked like they were all in mourning. Foo Fighters we’re awesome.

I thought it was a great show. Not one real loser among the skits. I almost wish they had stopped with diner lobster because it almost feels like they are forced to do a musical sketch each time he hosts and it seems like they are reaching but they all still commit. I thought that the cold open was miles better than the debate ones. Biden works better as a straight man. My opinion is that this episode will look better in hindsight when we are all less stressed about the election.

Well that was better than last week. I’ll be honest, I was wondering why Adele was hosting and not singing but she did OK and I find her extremely likeable. Meanwhile, it was sort of the Maya Rudolph show. It was almost like she was the host since she was in so much of the show. She was pretty awesome. They obviously were desperate to give Melissa a showcase but WU continues to kill it overall. I see I wasn’t the only one to rewatch the Village People. On rereading this I see I didn’t give Adele enough credit. I love that she committed to everything and was willing to make fun of herself. We all know she can sing but I totally loved her tonight. Can’t wait for next week and Mulaney. I am also betting on a David S. Pumpkins cameo.

Just going to post my thoughts before seeing what others thought. Personally, I thought this was one of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen. I kept falling asleep because it was so boring. The host seemed nice but the writing was awful. Even the Trump kids couldn’t save it. There were only a few thing I found mildly amusing: 1) The e-bay skit 2) Calling out weird nodding woman in the background of Trump’s town hall (I had thought that I was the only one who was weirdly obsessed with her) 3) Bieber’s hat in the second song, especially when he was in front of the mirror (or was I the only one who found it bizarrely phallic?). Anyway, overall a total waste of time. I really hope it gets better.

I heard Seahorse and I instantly thought Jessica Simpson. Which means it is absolutely not her because I am a terrible guesser although I also thought of Fater for baby alien.

I didn’t know Burr and I won’t be seeking him out. Comedians have to push the limits and there will always be some who are horribly offensive at times but win me back with genius comedy (RIP George Carlin). This guy wasn’t funny to me, just offensive. I liked the fly idea but Carrey is not good as Biden. Can we please get Harrelson or Sudeikis back?
