Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.
Here we go everybody, it’s time for another review of a new Saturday Night Live episode! And well, the third time’s the charm. (Or at least that’s the hope.)
Josh James Brolin has now hosted a trio of SNL eps, even though I’d kinda forgotten his second outing, though perhaps I shouldn’t have. Similarly, Ariana Grande-Butera (professionally, she usually drops the “Butera”) is doing a 3rd go-round as musical guest. She was also the host that second time, and she’s appeared in sketches all three times.
Because this episode originally aired on my birthday, I’ll be reviewing each sketch according to the template “Happy Birthday to…”

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.

Well, we’re in the middle of Saturday Night Live‘s 49th season. The 12th episode just aired, and Mr. Comedian Shane Gillis was the host. He has a bit of a history with the show, as he was hired as a cast member back in 2019 but was then almost immediately fired after some past controversial comments emerged. That wasn’t really mentioned in this episode, besides one little moment during the monologue.
As for the musical duties, well ,those were handled by a fellow known as 21 Savage. He was born in London, raised in Atlanta, and this was his first time rapping in Studio 8H.
As for my review, I’ll be employing my ol’ reliable routine of just copying the notes that I wrote in my notebook while watching the show.
