How’s it honking? (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)

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

Hello, People of Reality! If you’re reading this in a storm-affected region, thank you to the Electricity Gods for not knocking out your power. Anyway, it’s time to discuss yet another fresh episode of Saturday Night Live. This one features the hosting debut of newly-minted Oscar nominee Teyana Taylor. Before her acting career really started taking off, I knew her best for dancing in a music video and winning The Masked Singer. Has anyone else ever discovered that they would be up for an Academy Award while in the midst of prepping for some sketch comedy?

Rounding out the lineup for this episode are musical guest Geese, a group of cultishly adored rockers who (just like Ms. Taylor) originated in The City That Never Sleeps. I’ve yet to explore most of their discography, but I’m ready to dive in.

And because Geese are the musical guest, my Review Gimmick shall be Honking. So I might grade sketches out of a certain number of Honks, or perhaps I will express my enthusiasm or lack thereof with approving or disapproving Honks.
