The season finale of "Saturday Night Live" aired on Saturday. For those who watch the show regularly:
1. What did you think of the season as a whole?
2. Who were the best and worst hosts?
3. Which cast member would be your season MVP?
4. Do you think Kate McKinnon will get another Emmy nomination? Do you think she'll win if nominated?
5. Are there any episodes that stood out to you regardless of who hosted?
For me:
-Like with many seasons in recent years, very hit-and-miss per episode as far as how the season went overall.
-Best hosts: Mainly the SNL alumni which would be Bill Hader and Will Ferrel in particular. Gal Gadot, Jessica Chastain and Natalie Portman seem to be the only other hosts that made an impression this year, but for Gal and Jessica, that's partly because they were first-time hosts. Natalie did have a good show though.
-Worst host: Charles Barkley. How this guy has hosted 4 shows is mystifying to me. He's no actor let alone comedian and it shows. Granted, the show he hosted this year sucked, but still, he was front-and-center and he wasn't good at all. Charles makes me question why people like him are asked to host considering how they have no acting and/or comedic skills.
-Do I think Kate will get an Emmy nomination and/or win? Probably not and that's mainly because she's already been nominated and won twice. I think people want someone else to get nominated let alone win this time. Kate did good this year, but I think as far as the season MVP goes for this season, I'd likely pick Cecily Strong or perhaps Aidy Bryant.
-Not sure if there were any episodes that particularly stood out. If any did, it would be because of my association with the hosts. So in this case, I'd pick the ones Bill Hader and Will Ferrell hosted. The episodes hosted by SNL alumni are usually good and likely the best since the hosts are used to the show and there's more of a loose, relaxed feel to episodes and writing.
