Yeah, it's probably not a good sign that the majority of that list is from last season. I will definitely agree that Adam Driver's oil baron and Beck and Kyle's fighting kids belong on there, but kinda mystified by their inclusion of that Steve Carell Thanksgiving sketch (which is one in a long line of very similar sketches that almost always seem to involve Cecily singing in them).

Yeah, generally when they have a host/MG combo the performer usually has some kind of acting background- Miley, Taylor Swift, Timberlake, Drake, etc. I wasn't aware that Halsey wanted to try and "act".

The ratings will probably go way up with him, and unlike several hosts this season, I see why he's hosting. And Emma Stone is always a solid host. I always enjoy her, and I'm happy she's getting close to being a Five Timer. She deserves it. And speaking as someone who cares less and less about the musical guests as time goes on, Sara Bareilles sounds pretty damn good.
