I’ve been making an Emmy wishlist for most of my adult TV-viewing life. Every year, the task keeps getting more and more Herculean with the proliferation of an endless supply of new shows. I could easily name about a hundred people who deserve an Emmy in 2023, but instead, I’ve decided to do the opposite this year by just picking One Wish Per Category.
These aren’t necessarily my top choices in each category, but they are ones who could use the boost, as none of them appears to be the most likely to win, or even necessarily be nominated. (A few of them weren’t even included on the official Emmy ballot!) But they’re all worthy of viewers’ attention, so before the official nominations are announced on July 12, consider giving these a chance if you happen to ever enjoy that increasingly elusive phenomenon of “free time.”

I’ve been reviewing every episode of Saturday Night Live since Season 36 debuted in 2010, and my season recaps go back even farther when I was posting them on my MySpace and Facebook blogs! So I often find myself in the mood to switch up my reviewing formats. With that in mind, as I look back at Season 48, I decided I would peruse each episode on the SNL Archives website to remind myself what made an impression and then share that with you all in a bit of a freewheelin’ approach.
So Live from jmunney.com, It’s Saturday Night Season 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
