I
am a massive Saturday Night Live fan, honestly if I am home alone I re-watch
old episodes, when I am at home in Nova Scotia I drive my family crazy trying
to make them laugh by showing them old clips from episodes I know they have not
watched (they never find them as funny as I do) and I have no problem spending
my Saturday nights at home waiting for ‘SNL’ to come on.
Last
night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ was by far my favourite episode of the season,
with one of my current favourite bands HAIM and Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson it was an incredible episode. I
think this episode was great for multiple reasons:
1.
There was no
shortage of jokes about host Josh Hutcherson’s height, he is 5’5 and as you can
see next to his Hunger Game’s co-stars quite small. This was taken in stride,
in one sketch Hutcherson is a character names ‘lil’ peanut’. Adorable.
2.
The host and
band are still pretty unknown. Yes, Hutcherson is in one of the biggest movies
of the year; but I bet you wouldn’t recognize him (unless you are a 14 year old
girl) on the streets though! HAIM is blowing up, but still unknown to most
people. I think this is a magical combination for SNL; it is harder for the
episode to get overhyped and it lets the stars and cast shine without as much
pressure.
3.
The sketches
did not rely too much on recurring sketches from the past this episode. There
was a free flow to the episode with great sketches that incorporated some of
the new cast members.
I am no SNL expert, but I thought this week’s episode was brilliant. Here
is my favourite sketch which incorporates two 80s songs we play on Mountain FM and
HAIM’s ‘Don’t Save Me’.
