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

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! (Because this review is being posted on Easter Sunday)

Happy Ramadan to those who observe it! (Because we’re currently in the midst of Ramadan and because SNL host Ramy Youssef is Muslim)

And Happy Passover to those who celebrate! (That one hasn’t started yet this year, but I just completed my annual rewatch of “A Rugrats Passover” yesterday.)

All right, that’s enough goofing around. Let’s get to this review of the March 30, 2024 episode of Saturday Night Live, with host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott. Because it’s Easter Weekend, I’m going to resurrect an old reliable reviewing strategy and transcribe the notes I wrote in my notebook while watching the episode.
