Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.
When Matthew Paige Damon hosts Saturday Night Live, it’s a relatively rare occurrence but generally worth tuning into. So that’s what I’ve done for his third outing as SNL Host. (Of course, I watch all new SNL episodes anyway, so you can’t reasonably claim that you’re surprised that I’m doing this.)
During the previous two times that Damon hosted, the musical guests were Bruce Springsteen & the E Street and Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus, respectively. This time around, however, it’s Noah Kahan, which honestly isn’t a huge shift in terms of tempo and genre.
For my Review Gimmick for this episode, I shall take inspiration from my favorite thing that Matt Damon has ever done (i.e., his lead turn in the film The Talented Mr. Ripley) and examine how each sketch and segment demonstrated the ways in which the performers are Talented.
