Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.

Excellent! March is my favorite month. And the 2024 edition is off to a promising start with a couple of new Saturday Night Live episodes on the docket. The 3/2 show was hosted by Sydney Sweeney, who you might know from the rom-com hit Anyone But You, the wacky superhero flick Madame Web, and the upcoming pregnant nun horror movie Immaculate. I’ve seen two of those, and I’m excited for the third! I might also start watching that HBO show that she stars on.

Kacey Musgraves was the musical guest, which she’s done twice before. She hails from a magical land named “Golden,” Texas.

And since this episode was indeed hosted by Sydney Sweeney, I’m going to include as much alliteration in my review as I can muster.

Inside Politics: Perhaps praising Joe Biden should always be this preposterous.

Sydney Sweeney’s Monologue: It’s super swell to see Sydney hosting SNL, which I said to my self while watching her monologue.

Intern Detectives: Duh-doy! It appears that the traditional professional detectives are dropping like dodos.

please don’t destroy: Gone Too Soon: Please don’t disillusion this dude, but I did indeed enjoy those dopey fake tweets from Malala and the Pope.

Air Bud: Boy oh boy, Sydney doesn’t hold back when being a bimbo.

Big Bench: The best ideas are often the biggest, because they allow everyone to bounce off each other.

Bowen’s Straight: Gina Gershon made a cameo in this sketch, which is good, because she also has an alliterative name. (I also particularly prized the perception that Sydney perhaps had a crush on Lenny Pickett.)

Wedding Makeup Artists: Well… womp-womp!

Kacey Musgraves, “Deeper Well”: Kay, I must make mention of how Kacey’s comfy dress looked like a comforter.

Weekend Update: The Jokes: Well, this is the wacky wing of the review where I update you about my thoughts about Weekend Update, particularly how weird the timing was when Michael said subtextual snippets about his punctured partner.
Weekend Update: Woman Who Is Aging Gracefully: Is grace gone for good?
Weekend Update: Charlotte the Pregnant Stingray: Sheesh, Charlotte should be remembered as a time that Ego Nwodim totally went there.

Hooters: That beer better have not been too bountiful to imbibe.

Kacey Musgraves, “Too Good to Be True”: Today, I took a tick to think about whether or not Kacey and her band wore too much dang denim.

Airbnb Interior Design: “Chanel and Chanel” should be alliterative, but they shan’t be in this shiny sketch, and that’s worth a shoutout.

Loud Tables: Damn, that dark denouement had me wondering: are these people sociopaths?

Moving on from the alliteration: on March 9, the guest lineup will be Josh Brolin and Ariana Grande. Will either of them wish me a happy birthday during the show?
