Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Colman Domingo/Anitta

That’s that episode, Domingo (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)

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

‘Sup, everybody? Today, we shall be covering the 17th episode of SNL Season 51, with host Colman Domingo and musical guest Anitta. How many times has it been in the history of this show that a host’s last name has also been the name of a popular recurring character? As for Anitta, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard her music before this episode (maybe in passing), though I do recognize her name.

Last night, I was celebrating with friends, so for this review, my gimmick will be an old reliable standby of Transcribing the Notes I took while watching the episode.

A Jack Snack: time to lap it up! (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)

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

Congratulations! To whom, you may ask? Why, to the universe, for finally allowing Jack Black and Jack White to share the bill on the same Saturday Night Live, specifically the April 4, 2026 episode. This also happens to be Mr. Black’s fifth time hosting, as well as Mr. White’s fifth time as solo musical guest (sixth time as MG when you include his stint as a member of The White Stripes).

Because of this yin/yang-style pairing, my Review Gimmick for this episode will involve determining a Pair of Opposites to represent each sketch and segment.

Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Harry Styles/Harry Styles

The Ides of March (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)

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

Good morning*, my dear SNL Review Reading Audience. It’s time for me to discuss the 15th episode of the 51st season of Saturday Night Live, aka the second time in history that Harry Styles has turned in double duty as both host and musical guest. (And you know I’m in the right mood for this, having gone for a 45-minute run on Sunday morning.) Has anyone else ever pulled double duty like this multiple times before? Yes, I’m sure of it. Who exactly, you may ask? Well, Britney Spears comes to mind, for one.

Anyway, now that I’ve provided that windup of context, I shall inform you that my Reviewing Gimmick for this episode will take inspiration from the recent anniversary of my arrival into the world, as I declare “Happy Birthday” to the most birthday-riffic element of each sketch and segment.
