Death, please.
CBC News Toronto
I haven’t been following the Rob Ford circus very closely, so I don’t know how much this sketch was referring to actual moments or not. Either way, it all felt rather perfunctory. Where this sketch succeeded was when it fully embraced cheesy “Canadian” humor (a Boxing Day ham), which I guess is acceptable, because Rob Ford’s accent is about as thick as a Canuck’s can get. B-
Lady GaGa’s Monologue
Did they want it to be that obvious how fake the audience interactions were, even considering that it was cast members playing the audience? C+

But who will play Miley?
Oval Office
Good on SNL for addressing this issue and being essentially clever about it, but it was kind of a catch-22 if the show was going to be the one addressing it. So Al Sharpton’s assurance that nothing was learned was the only way to end it. B+
Kerry Washington’s Monologue
I didn’t even blink when Bobby called Kerry “Olivia.” Predictable. Amusing enough. B-

This time they’ll have to arrest me for generosity.
A Message from the Department of Health and Human Services
This was okay, I guess, but it was the same sort of “the Internet is confusing!” jokes that have been going around for the past 20 years, and that was only underscored by the Encarta and AOL gags. C+
Edward Norton’s Monologue
This was well-intentioned, but the good stuff was either small-scale (13-year Method preparation), familiar (training from a veteran host), or incomplete (Miley’s appearance). Good impressions, though. B-

NASA Shutdown
Clever and timely, on two counts. It unfortunately pales in comparison to last week’s “We Did Stop,” but that is a lofty standard. This solid track record so far suggests there will be plenty of laughs for SNL to wring out of the government shutdown. B+
Bruce Willis’ Monologue
Bizarrely unmemorable. I guess Bruce REALLY didn’t want to do anything else except play the harmonica, or Bobby REALLY wanted to play with him. C
24-Hour Energy for Dating Actresses
And with an absolutely (purposefully) awful gag, Kyle Mooney sneaks in the best line! B-

VMA’s Backstage
Some of the lines were perfectly obvious, but the apocalyptic framing device added cleverness. And, boy oh boy, do Vanessa!Miley and Real Miley have quite a nice rapport. B+
Miley Cyrus’s Monologue
Thank GOD that promise of no twerking turned out to be false. B-
50 Shades of Grey Screen Tests
It looks like Noël Wells is already well on our way to inheriting the prolific impressionist mantle from Phil Hartman and Bill Hader. But Taran’s Christoph Waltz won this round. Not as good as the Back to the Future screen tests, but better than Top Gun. B+
