Happy April! And I mean that.
It’s officially on the record that the 16th episode of the 48th season of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Abbott Elementary creator-star Quinta Brunson, with musical guest Miles Parks McCollum, who of course goes by the stage name “Lil Yachty.”
Since this episode began airing on April 1, I will review each sketch by saying something UNTRUE about how I felt and then follow that up with a declaration of “April Fools!” Practical jokes can be cruel if not everyone is in on the joke, so I wanted to be fully transparent.

The fifteenth episode of the forty-eighth season of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Jenna Ortega with musical guest The 1975. This occurred on my post-birthday weekend, which is good, because I enjoy watching new SNL this time of year. Indeed, I love watching new SNL at any time of the year, including around the anniversary of my birth.
Since Jenna Ortega is one of the current stars of the Scream franchise, I will be reviewing each sketch of this episode in ALL CAPS.

The March 4, 2023 edition of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Super Bowl-winning football professional Travis Kelce, with the musical guest being country performer Kelsea Ballerini. It was the first time on the venerable sketch institution for both of them, a huge departure from last week’s episode.
In case you were wondering, yes, “Kelce” and “Kelsea” are pronounced the same, so therefore I just had to include homophones in my thoughts on every one of this episode’s sketches.
