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

Here we go again. The second episode of the 50th season of Saturday Night Live was indeed the 2nd episode of the fiftieth season. The guest lineup consisted of a couple of returning favorites. Coldplay, those lovable lads from London, provided the tunes for the 8th time, while Nate Bargatze was the host for the 2nd time. In fact, the 2nd time in 2 seasons!

Since this is the second episode, and it’s also Nate’s second time hosting, I’ll review each sketch by starting off with the phrase “Two cheers for.”

Happy Anniversary! It’s the 50th season of our favorite show, and I for one am going to celebrate by continuing to wackily review every episode of Saturday Night Live.

The very first episode of this landmark season was hosted by the Jean-tacular Jean Smart and musical guested by the Jelly-licious Jelly Roll. As for me, I was out and about visiting family this weekend, so I finished this episode much later than usual. So please forgive me if this review feels a little sleepy!

Anyway, because I took a weekend vacay, I’m going to review each sketch by asking the question: is this a good sketch to watch while visiting family?

SNL Season 50 Host and Musical Guest Predictions

September 16, 2024

Many seasons ago, I used to predict the hosts and musical guests for the upcoming batch of new Saturday Night Live episodes. Looking through the archives, it doesn’t look like I ever did it on this blog, but instead on just a (now-defunct) SNL fan forum. So yeah, it’s been a while, but I kinda felt compelled to peek into my Studio 8H-themed crystal ball once more.

So the way it goes with my SNL guest predictions is that I look over the pop culture calendar for the next several upcoming months and attempt to discern who might conceivably have something they’d like to promote at 30 Rockefeller. But I don’t care all that much about accuracy, so this set of predictions will essentially be doubling as a wish list. Which is to say, some of the folks I’ve chosen might not actually be all that likely to appear on Saturday Night Live during Season 50. Or ever, for that matter. But maybe typing them out loud will manifest something special into existence.

Also, before I get to my predictions, I’ve got a quick programming note about my first wacky review of the season. The premiere is scheduled to air on September 28, and I might be going away that weekend, so my review might be posted a little later than usual. But I promise that it will still be as wacky as ever!

Now on with the predictions! (Feel free to share some of your own in the comments section if you’ve got any.)
