I ate a bunch of mushrooms and watched the most recent Ryan Gosling episode. I've never laughed so gd hard in my entire life. As someone who was a teenager when Beavis and Butthead premiered, that sketch KILLED ME, and Heidi Gardner breaking harder than I've ever seen a cast member break damn-near made me pee myself. No exaggeration---I watched that, and the alien abduction cold open probably 20 times apiece, laughing harder and harder with every single viewing.

Jonah Hill was also really funny. His sketch with Leonardo Dicaprio holding him from behind, like Rose and Jack in Titanic, was really humble and sweet. I don't watch that many SNL sketches, beceause it never aired on Dutch television. But it's a funny show and really iconic. So if I watch a clip from SNL I think it's most of the time really great written

I had never heard of Phoebe Waller Bridge before seeing her on SNL. I was delighted by her performance, but, honestly, I am not used to seeing hosts look so, I don't know, average. Usually they are much more beautiful. Like Anya Taylor-Joy, for example, or Scarlett Johansson. Bridge is very pretty, but in a girl-next-door kind of way. That is, until the Mid Day News sketch. The outfit, the wig, the earrings ... oh my! That was awesome.

It is Bar-GAT-zee and Ryan Gosling was way better than where you had him and his most recent hosting was even better than his previous times. Zack Galifi-WHATEVER wasn't that good and LOUIS CK should have been top three easy but MOJO is chicken shee and didn't even list him. Hanks is solid, Eddie wasn't that good at all, neither was Chappelle.
