Hmmm...this should be interesting.
Maybe Dakota's dad and mom will make a cameo appearance.🙂

I have loads of time for Don Johnson. In fact he would be a better host.

I like Johnson so I hope Timberlake doesn't end up monopolizing the whole night.

[peeayebee]

I don't really feel one way or the other about Dakota, though I did enjoy the TV show Ben and Kate. Sarah, on the other hand, turns those promos into anti-promos.

I loved Ben and Kate. Great show. Great cast. Ended way too soon.

I loved the old Bee Gees sketches. They may have been my all-time favorites. I hope they do one tonight instead of just teasing me with hope.

Does Dakota look like she's had work done? Cheek implants maybe?

She's definitely gone overboard with the fillers; she was barely recognizable during the opening monologue. 

The Who's the Baby Daddy skit had me laughing out loud.

Isn’t it enough that Jimmy Fallon has his own show 5 days a week ?  He sucked all the oxygen out of that sketch!

But that line about not being afraid of anything because he watched Saltburn with his entire family was spectacular. 😄

[Andyourlittledog2]

This show has been so weak lately that Lorne seems determined to fill it with as many guest cameos and music guest-in-sketch skits as humanly possible.  Dakota (the actual host) was in the Gibb sketch but was reduced to extra with nothing to do while Fallon took over completely, seconded only by Timberlake. I get how Fallon was mimicking Barry Gibbs style of singing but I couldn't understand 90  percent of what he said so the jokes fell totally flat for me.

Better writing. Less cameos and drop bys and musical guests in the sketches. Please. And while they're at it, get Sarah Sherman out of there entirely. Thank you.

[Galileo908]

Cold Open: Oh good, they remembered to joke about Boeing this week. But they're right, the Super Bowl doesn't count for real football. It's the one football game I watch every year, and damn if I still don't know how it works. "Yellowstone is our Barbie!" and Kenan looking right at the camera and saying "There is no other live tv that's remotely watchable" were great.

Monologue: Oh right, she's in Madame Web, technically a Marvel movie! She's endearing but this was awkward, even when Timberlake and Barry Gibb showed up.

It's a little tough since Robin died in 2012. But that hasn't stopped this show before.

Waitress: Sarah was great in this. This was a weird one that didn't land with the audience, but I'm a fan of "purposefully mishearing phrases" humor. "And a Diet Dr. Advil for The Little Gay" cracked me up.

Home Videos: The reveal of the Maury sketch was the first big laugh I had in the episode. They completely nailed the look of the show so much. You really gotta wonder if those kids ever found out if their parents ever appeared on Maury. They oldest ones gotta be around Dismukes's age by now.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: They're actually doing it! One of the Gibbs was clearly more into this sketch than the other. Timberlake was rusty. I'm convinced that Jimmy never stopped embodying the character, but man, even he can't hold the voice anymore. I mean, the original sketch didn't have much going for it, but you really noticed the dead air in this.

Please Don't Destroy: Everyone sniping at each other was great. "The Lonelier Island" "Nepo Truce" "42% on Rotten Tomatoes."

Big Dumb Cups: The inevitable Stanley Cup sketch! Loved this. "I'm a virgin, but I also have six kids" definitely nailed the vibe of those people. 

WU: Gotta love OJ jokes. "He didn't even do it!" And Spirit airline jokes are always welcome. 

Bowen's Ethan character was weird, but I was oddly entranced by it? I hope he comes back. I liked Heidi's tarot reader character. I hope she comes back. It was refreshing for Che to be the butt of the feature instead of Colin for once.

Book Club: Was not expecting the sharks to show up. But man, it was an awkward sketch.

Delta: I liked it when Kenan inevitably came in. I felt like there should've been more to this, but there wasn't.

Well...here's hoping NEXT week is better.

[vb68]

So why didn't Timberlake just host as well? Dakota Johnson was completely overshadowed and upstaged. It seemed like she had very little to do, and what she did do was stiff and awkward.

Even Justin seemed annoyed with Jimmy this time too.

[Dirge]

I felt like a lot more sketches than usual just died off. SNL needs writers who can *finish* things. I kind of thought that the waitress sketch was going to turn out that the staff was freaked out all day by thinking that a Manson family reunion was coming.

But at least I got to hear someone say all of the things I think about the Please Don't Destroy guys.

I did not understand why they seemed to think "chicken fongers" was so funny that it needed to be repeated multiple times during the sketch.  The muted reaction from the studio audience said kind of everything.

Yep, they nailed the whole vibe! I bet if Povich was younger, he might have been down to appear as himself.

Normally Heidi's WU characters are more 'miss' than hit for me, but I hope these two come back.

Yeah, Timberlake was rusty.

Tell me about it! That was great.

[Irlandesa]

I actually thought this episode was pretty enjoyable and Dakota did a good job. 

She has this natural comedic timing that I think is intentionally a bit awkward and it works for me.  Her slight annoyance at Timberlake's appearance in the monologue and the old video of her rolling her eyes at her dad made me laugh. The "do not destroy" insult fest was perfect. 

I also love that they did a non-politics cold open. 

I also felt like no skit went on too long so even if I wasn't loving something, it was over soon and they were on to the next thing.

 

[Pete Martell]

A rundown of the other cut sketches (if a more detailed dress rehearsal report goes on Reddit I'll link to that). This is summarized from watching the Saturday Night Network podcast after the live show. (these are my sketch titles, not the actual titles)

AI-sha: Ego, Mikey, Michael, Dakota, Andrew, Kenan - Ego an AI robot for a company in need of diversity. Mikey and Dakota answer questions about the robot. Ego ran across the studio to play an audience member who asked why the robot looked like her.

Basement - Sarah, Mikey, Dakota, Molly, Andrew. Sarah recognizes Dakota at a coffee shop years after they were abducted and held hostage in a basement.

Couples talk show - Dakota, Mikey, Andrew, Ego, Sarah, Michael, Bowen. Dakota and Michael host a talk show where they trash their friends as soon as they leave the set. The other couples confront them from behind the camera - they blame their asexual producer (Bowen).

[Dirge]

One thing I forgot to mention: in the (otherwise, to me, forgettable) airport luggage sketch, when Dakota asked something like "Do you think I'm with Isis?" I assume that was a callback to her 2015 appearance

Ironically, this is the first PDD sketch I thought was funny.

I felt like the live sketches let the episode, and surprisingly good pre-tapes, down (they came across as very unfocused to me, there was a lot of sloppy direction, and I thought the cast use was off), but I agree about Dakota. I thought she was better than her last hosting appearance as I felt like they knew how to write for her. She was terrific in the PDD short, but even in a number of the live sketches I thought she was better than I had expected - she was the best part of that strangely lengthy cup sketch for me.

 I'm so fatigued with seeing Bowen and Heidi on Update, but I did appreciate them each trying something different, and I enjoyed some of the new touches (like Heidi's tarot cards). I just wish these had not been so long - four minutes each. It feels like they have taken the role Kate McKinnon used to have of just going on Update as long as they want. Learning an Andrew Dismukes Update piece was cut while they got to take up eight minutes left me feeling disappointed.

Individually I like most of the current cast (some more than others), but the last few episodes have made me realize they just aren't clicking for me. I don't think they work well together and I don't think they are well utilized (for instance I thought Sarah and Molly were all wrong for the waitress sketch - Molly just doing their Chris Farley tribute yet again). Add in how flabby the writing is and it's making the show very frustrating for me right now. It should be better if any care was taken. 

[EtheltoTillie]

Football sketch, cup sketch, waitress sketch, Bee Gees sketch, T shirt sketch, all horrible and too long. 

PDD, baby daddy, WU (save for Bowen and Heidi) all funny. 

Lost luggage sketch also funny. So half of show was awful.

[Spartan Girl]

All that roasting in the Please Don’t Destroy skit and yet nobody brought up 50 Shades?!

I am perfectly aware that Jimmy and Justin were probably doing damage control from Britney’s memoir and the Tonight Show allegations.

That didn’t stop me from enjoying the skit anyway. “I watched Saltburn with my entire family!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I made myself slightly disappointed in this one because when I didn't recognize who was playing the alternate potential father I guessed that it would also be Dismukes, so I was let down when it turned out to be Marcello and that he had to have a line to confirm paternity. I think my way would have been cleverer.

I giggled at that, same with Diet Dr. Advil, it was a good show, funnier than some of the others, I will never not like Please Don't Burn skits, mostly a funny show but it was not without it's meh moments, like every season since the beginning. 

 

[cpcathy]

Again, I know why they can’t have too many filmed pieces but Horny Little Dork was great.

Some of the other writing was off, and Dakota was hesitating a bit, but damn, she is a stunning woman.

In addition to her video of her with her dad, I’d hoped they would show this one. She is hiding in the back.

 

[MrWhyt]

better than last week but that's a low bar to clear. Loved WU and who's the baby daddy?. I had to scroll back to Galileo908's post to remind myself of what the live sketches were so I guess that shows how big of an impression they made on me.

I was trying to figure out why she looked so different.

Some good, some bad.

At first I wasn't into the Home Videos/paternity show sketch, but then I flipped. The performances were just perfect. 

I wasn't watching SNL when Jimmy Fallon was a regular, but I have seen a Barry Gibb sketch or two. I generally liked this. I couldn't always understand what Fallon was saying -- He definitely seemed out of breath -- but I liked him and Timberlake. The guests added nothing. Maybe that's how the sketch always is. Oh and who was Dakota supposed to be?

The please don't destroy sketch was great. All the putdowns were hilarious. 

I liked several parts of WU. Che saying about OJ, "He didn't even do it!" cracked me up. I also liked Jost saying about Trump's de-bank speech something about taking de-ambulance to see de-doctor. I thought Ethan was a pretty good character, though I didn't think much of the lines were funny. I hadn't heard "Asians don't raisin" before. Jan Janby could be recurring. I don't care for the cross-eyed bit that Heidi incorporates into these weird characters, but the cards were pretty funny, esp with the reveal of Only Fans. Oh, and the catfish card was great.

As for the rest... meh.

The CO didn't work too well for me, but I think that was because of the execution. The writing was fine, but the performances were off.

The restaurant sketch went nowhere. I agree with another poster who wondered why they kept saying chicken fongers repeatedly. Sometimes I find joke repetitions funny. It didn't work here. I think the sketch might have worked better if each time the server repeated the orders, the words got progressively wilder and weirder.

Didn't care for Big Dumb Cups, though the Ugg-designed one that tasted like foot was kinda funny.

The book club was bad. The lost luggage sketch was not great.

Dakota is generally funny, but I think on a sketch show like this she needs to be quicker. There's too much pausing -- as one would do naturally, IRL -- and that slows things down. Maybe that has to do with needing to read cue cards. I'm not sure. But they all need to pick up the pace.

I liked Timberlake in the monologue and the Gibbs sketch. I also really enjoyed his first performance. (I was multitasking during his second one.)

Why was Chappelle there at the end?

I really thought that Sarah Sherman was going to turn out to have been looking for the bag that Dakota had walked out with. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the actual punchline that she was already doing porn was drowned out by audience applause. (At first I thought it was spontaneous in reaction to Devon's line but upon reflection maybe it was a miscue from an applause sign?)

I think the lost luggage would have been better if Michael Longfellow had had actual characterization beyond "potential boyfriend" and if the things in the luggage had been actually embarrassing and/or outlandish and Dakota had had to come up with wild explanations (then leading to the reveal that it wasn't even actually her bag).

Fallon was so over the top desperate, it was as if he had been denied a performing venue for the last 20 years.

Edited January 28 by EtheltoTillie

[AriAu]

Really disappointingly weak show and horrible misuse of Justin....if they were going to have him bring back a character, then it should have been "bring it on down to..." to at least show his talent. Altho I did like him showing up in his 5 Timers jacket.

Oh, wait, he wasnt the host??? She was, to put it politely, NOT good except in PDD and the Shark Tank one, although I knew as soon as they said Shark Tank that Mark Cuban, one of the biggest attention whores in America, would show up.

As big an attention whore as Cuban is, there is one that is clearly bigger-Jimmy Fallon. If he was going to do a throwback to a Timberlake sketch, why one that featured FALLON and not Timberlake.

Cuz it is and always has been a TERRIBLE, unfunny sketch.

 

[peeayebee]

I have questions about the photo that Dakota showed in the monologue of the audience at the SNL 40th show or celebration or whatever. What year was that? And why were there so many big celebrities there? Trump and Palin, I understand, but Steven Spielberg? I can't remember who else was there, but it just seemed weird to me.

[possibilities]

I finally understand the cultural significance of football.

I did not recognize Dakota, even though I knew it was her. 

The show made me want a purple bag, not because the sketch was funny (I thought it was a good idea that needed a re-write) but because I generally like purple things, and had just not thought a purple duffel bag would be available. Turns out, a quick search says lots of them are actually being sold. I also liked Dakota's sweater. So... that tells you how engaging I found the show. I was actually more interested in the costuming and props than the writing or the acting during most of the sketches.

I also enjoyed Heidi's costume in the tarot reading bit during WU. And it's about time that Che was the target of the WU humiliation jokes. I actually am finding him more funny lately, compared to how I used to feel about him. It's ironic that now that I find his jokes less offensive, the show decides it's time to take him down a peg. The "returning artifacts but nothing they can do about the slave trade" was killer. 

I'm a huge Elie Mystal fan, so seeing him show up as a character in a sketch had me holding my breath. I thought the fat joke was stupid, but as Mystal himself said, he's glad it wasn't worse. 

The "home videos" was my favorite sketch tonight. 

I really liked a lot of the outfits this week. Kudos to the costuming team. Boo to the writers.

It's a real photo. The 40th was a HUGE blow out and she was there due to 50 Shades of Gray and her parents. Lots of stars in the audience and cameos on stage, including Eddie's first appearance back since he left the show.

And interestingly, the cold open featured, Justin Timberlake and that other guy who keeps popping up.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Timely cold open with an NFL pre-game show sketch. Let's go, Ravens! We have to keep Travis Kelce's girlfriend from singing at the Super Bowl. 😏

SNL isn't live in all timezones though. Some areas west of the Mississippi only get the west coast feed which often has been altered from the original live production in NYC.

Whee, the cold open ended great with that overwrought Fast & Furious song. And did we know before now that JAJ could sing?

Ditto comments upthread, Dakota Johnson looked different. I wouldn't have recognized her without context. Hope she's okay.

Meh, Justin Timberlake. Because Justin's presence means his desperate-for-attention pal Jimmy Fallon has an excuse to show up too.

Bone-in salad. There's a visual.

She a ho, Corey Dervitch! I miss the trashy Maury show, even if most of it was probably staged.

And there it, the old Bee Gees thing. An exercise in JF and JT pretending like they're trying not to break. Unfortunately their singing voices were no longer up to the task.

Dang that fight between the PDD guys and Dakota was brutal! Nepo babies went savage, and the hits just kept coming. (Dakota's actually a nepo grandbaby. Tippi Hedren is a Hollywood classic.)

Big Dumb Cups. The Ugg version tastes like foot!

That wasn't the new song from JT which premiered wide last week. I kinda liked Sanctified. JT usually does better when he leaves the boy band sound behind. He's too old for that now.

WU:
Didn't they do a maternity prom dress joke last week?
Godzilla prequel, Oppenheimer. Perfect.
Asian don't raisin? Never heard that one before.
Another Saltburn spoiler. SNL doesn't seem to like that movie.
The looted from Ghana joke tho.

Ehh, biting on the Jonas Brothers. Not a good look, JT. (Is it possible JT thinks Nick Jonas "stole" his style so Selfish is a lowkey retort?)

Devon does a fantastic imitation of Kenan's lispy character. Maybe Kenan has taken Devon under his wing.

Quite a crowded stage during the sign-off. Oh look, it's the noted transphobic comic.

Dakota was okay, with kind of an affected low-energy vibe. Not the worst host this season.

Is my little corner of Oregon the only West coast spot that gets the live broadcast at 8:30PM?  I always find it funny that there's a warning before the Vintage SNL at 10:00 advising some material originally aired at a later time when we've just experienced everything live here without the "warning".  

I thought the show was a little lackluster, and Dakota Johnson's reliance on the cue cards really affected the pace.  I'm beginning to think SNL needs new writers (or old writers who can be persuaded to return to the show).  

It did seem like Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon tried to take over...and maybe that friction caused problems with the host and cast.   The taped skits were funny; the live stuff really wasn't at all.

In Oregon and Los Angeles I always get the 8:30 pm live broadcast and the 11:30 pm taped one.  I have no idea if they are any different because I only watch one of them each time. It does make me wonder about that warning though - we're watching it originally at 8:30 without warning so why does the 10:00 rerun need a warning? Makes no sense.

The PDD bit was great. I have an unresolved annoyance at the vast crop of nepo babies in show business right now and I was just thinking to myself, great! a roomful of nepo babies when it became clear that they were mocking themselves. "A foot in the door and so much more!"  Whole thing cracked me up. Still annoyed by them, but at least this time they were actually funny.

As a few other people do, I get the show live at 8:30 in the San Francisco Bay Area; this has been going on for a few years now. It's nice not to have to wait til 11:30.

That was almost all bad. So many skits with no point or punchline.
