Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: John Mulaney/Chappell Roan

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

John Mulaney has the unique distinction of being more famous as an SNL host than as an SNL employee. That probably has to do with the fact that he was a writer during his tenure on the show, rather than a cast member. Although he certainly appeared on camera a few times during his stint on the staff. I mention all this because he just hosted for the SIXTH time.

And then there’s Chappell Roan, who holds the not-entirely-unique distinction of seemingly being the new obsession of everybody I know.* (*-Hyperbole.) I mention that because she was just the musical guest on SNL for the very FIRST time.

Because Mulaney earlier this year hosted a talk show on Netflix called Everybody’s in LA, I’m going to start my review of each sketch with the word “Everybody’s.”
