Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.

What’s up, brosephuses and sistras?! Wow, after 50 years of all that, they’re still going. That’s right, I’m talking about the Season 51 Premiere of Saturday Night Live.

The guest lineup is host Bad Bunny and musical guest Doja Cat, so there was really no way around it: I’m going to review each sketch animalistically. So that means I might give them 4 out of 5 Buffaloes, or I might say they’re Clucking like a Chicken. Let’s get into it!

Do you have your eye on the Emmys in 2025? I certainly do, and not just because they’re airing on the Eye Network this year. Nate Bargatze will be hosting for CBS (and Paramount+) on the evening of Sunday, September 14, as those trophies for televisual excellence are handed out. Here are my annual predictions of the victors, as well as my selections for whom I would honor if I had access to an official ballot.
