It’s the last new SNL of 2023, former cast member Kate McKinnon has returned to host, Billie Eilish is the musical guest for the third time, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph also stopped by – clearly, everyone just wants to have fun.
A few times in the past, I’ve adopted a reviewing strategy themed around a holiday. But I’ve never done it for New Year’s Day before, seeing as SNL tends to bypass that time of the year. But I’m going to go ahead and not bypass it. Thus for this episode, I’m reviewing each sketch by declaring “Happy New Year!” to someone or something.

Merry Christmas! (And I’ll probably say it again next week, too.) For the second new SNL episode of December 2023, we’ve got a couple of returning favorites in the form of host Adam Driver and musical guest Olivia Rodrigo.
I ran a 5K on Saturday morning, and not only is “Driver” Adam’s last name, but he’s also playing a famous car person in an upcoming movie. So with that feeling of speed going so strong, I’m going to get through my review quickly by offering just one word per sketch. Furthermore, Olivia Rodrigo’s breakthrough single was also automobile-related, although “Drivers License” actually moved at a rather leisurely pace. But she’s really kept up the momentum since then!

This here is a review of the December 2, 2023 episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Emma Stone with musical guest Noah Kahan. It’s her fifth time, and interestingly enough, a few days ago, I had a dream in which I met her right after she hosted this episode. So I think that’s a good sign!
For this review, I will be transcribing the notes I took while watching the episode, which I’ve done a few times before, and I enjoyed how it worked out, so here we go again!

Momoas for All! (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)
It’s time to review Jason Momoa’s second time hosting SNL! I know him better as “Jason Mimosa,” although I rarely imbibe that early in the morning. Tate McRae is the musical guest, and I think I’ve heard her name before, but I somehow hadn’t heard her tunes yet.
Anyway, since Thanksgiving is knocking on the door, I’m reviewing each sketch of this episode by declaring what I’m thankful for.
