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

Did this episode of Saturday Night Live have you feeling like a hurricane? Well, maybe that’s because it was hosted by Chris Rock. Yep, the guy who was born in Andrews, South Carolina and an SNL cast member from 1990-93 and came back to host in 1996, 2014, and 2020 has now come back to host once again in 2024. Clearly, he’s a veteran of comedy.

As for the musical guest, that’ll be a first-timer in the form of Gracie Abrams. Hopefully she goes on to have a full and satisfying career.

Regarding my review strategy for this episode, I’ll be deploying that old standby of transcribing the notes I wrote in my notebook while watching.
