Saturday Night Live, SNL Weekly Recaps, Television
36 Inch Penis, Beck Bennett, Chris Hemsworth, Good Neighbor, Hilary Clinton, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live Season 40, SNL, SNL Season 40, The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party, Zac Brown Band
SNL: Chris Hemsworth March 2015 Monologue (CREDIT: YouTube Screenshot)
This review was originally posted on Starpulse in March 2015.
It might just be pointlessly quixotic to ascribe a thesis statement to an episode of “SNL.” Any detectable patterns may have just been accidental. When the host and musical guest do not bring in a whole lot of baggage, that truth becomes emphasized. Chris Hemsworth was host two months before the release of the next “Avengers” movie. Zac Brown Band have new music, but they are not dominating the mainstream conversation. This was certainly an episode that happened. There were highlights, there were lowlights, and it will lead to a multiplicity of opinions. Here’s one: it was cray-cray.
A Message From Hillary Clinton – Kate McKinnon made it clear that should Hillary Clinton run for president, she will not back down from the challenge of taking on this legendary impression. This sketch was essentially a character piece, when it could have focused on sharper satire about whether or not Clinton’s e-mail correspondence is a legitimate controversy. But as a character piece, it was encouraging, managing to imbue the tired “old person e-mail gag” with specific personality. B

Television, What Won TV?
In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – The pilot of The Last Man on Earth is an episode of television that actually exists.
Monday – Better Call Saul
Tuesday – Kroll Show
Wednesday – The Goldbergs
Thursday – Watching an episode of Portlandia is an unspoken competition.
Friday – Comedy Bang! Bang!
Saturday – SNL, specifically the part when Kyle Mooney said, “Dude!”
