Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.
Hellooooo, my SNL family! Well, it’s time to talk about the October 19, 2024 episode of this here sketch comedy program that we all love to laugh at. The guest lineup, in case you weren’t paying attention, consisted of Michael Keaton and Billie Eilish. Interestingly enough, this was both his fourth time as host AND her fourth time as musical guest. But there was much more time elapsed in his case, as he first stopped by in 1982, while she made her Studio 8H debut in 2019.
As for my reviewing style this week, I’m going to stick with a classic, as I transcribe the notes I wrote in my notebook while watching the episode.

Television, Whose Line is it Anyway?

Still wondering whose line it is after all these years… (CREDIT: The CW/Screenshot)
It’s no secret that one of my favorite TV shows of all time is the comedy improv “game” show Whose Line Is It Anyway? I’ve podcasted about it. I’ve written about it here on this very website. I’ve quoted it incessantly in real life. So having proselytized about the Gospel According to Clive, Drew, & Aisha so much already, why do I suddenly feel the need to talk about it at length once more?
Well, I’ve had multiple conversations recently with people who aren’t even aware that new episodes are still airing. And I’m not surprised about that! They’re not being advertised very heavily, after all. But if you do want to watch, all you have to do is turn on The CW on Friday nights at 8:00 PM Eastern! Or stream the next day on The CW’s app or website.

Happy Middle of October, Everybody! I hope you’ve been spending plenty of time with your boos.
Anyway, I’m here to review the 971st episode of Saturday Night Live, which just so happens to also be the third episode of the 50th season. Stevie Nicks was the musical guest for the second time ever, but the first time in more than 40 years. As for the host, well, that was Ariana Grande, who’s now in the rarefied territory of having been the host and musical guest of the same episode, the host but NOT the musical guest of the same episode, and the musical guest but NOT the host of the same episode.
You may have noticed that Ms. Grande was promoting her starring role in the upcoming film Wicked, which is based on a well-known stage musical, which was in turn based on a novel, which was in turn inspired by another novel. With all that in mind, I’ll be reviewing each sketch in this episode by saying something like “That was wicked…” (Please feel free to imagine me doing so in a Bah-ston accent.)

Here we go again. The second episode of the 50th season of Saturday Night Live was indeed the 2nd episode of the fiftieth season. The guest lineup consisted of a couple of returning favorites. Coldplay, those lovable lads from London, provided the tunes for the 8th time, while Nate Bargatze was the host for the 2nd time. In fact, the 2nd time in 2 seasons!
Since this is the second episode, and it’s also Nate’s second time hosting, I’ll review each sketch by starting off with the phrase “Two cheers for.”

Happy Anniversary! It’s the 50th season of our favorite show, and I for one am going to celebrate by continuing to wackily review every episode of Saturday Night Live.
The very first episode of this landmark season was hosted by the Jean-tacular Jean Smart and musical guested by the Jelly-licious Jelly Roll. As for me, I was out and about visiting family this weekend, so I finished this episode much later than usual. So please forgive me if this review feels a little sleepy!
Anyway, because I took a weekend vacay, I’m going to review each sketch by asking the question: is this a good sketch to watch while visiting family?
