An SNL Episode (Tipsy) (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.

You are currently reading a review of the first new Saturday Night Live of December 2024. Speaking of firsts, this episode features a couple of first-time guests in the form of host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey.

As you might know, Paul Mescal isn’t the only person in the world named Paul. In fact, I have an uncle named Paul! So to review this episode, I will be taking a cue from Billy on the Street as I ask of each sketch: would my Uncle Paul like this? As far as I know, he doesn’t religiously keep up with SNL, but he’s an often-goofy guy known for his uproarious laughter who always appreciates a good flatulence-based gag.
