Pay Per View Cold Open - meh, weird with a few funny bits - I don't much care or understand boxing.

Monologue - at least it was short. it was OK but not much more than that.

Right Side Of The Bed - this recurring sketch is OK, Scarlett was good in it and Taran Killam and Cecily Strong held up their end

Baltimore Special Report - a touchy subject but they made it funny with all the malapropisms and "slips" Keenan and Killam were great together and Scarlett was funny and I feel better knowing she is safe in Newark.

Black Widow: Age Of Me - I liked this one, it was silly and predictable but still funny.

Girlfriends Talk Show - this one wasn't too bad, I think they do it too often but it is alright, Aidy Bryant was funny.

musical guest - I don't know which one was The Wiz and which one was The Khalifa; not really my thing, I remember when SNL used to be able to get big name musical guests and at least a little variety.

Weekend Update - the Ruth Bader Ginsburns from Kate McKinnon were awesome - she pretty much carries the show on a slow week, I don't watch Game of Thrones (yeah, I know I am probably the only one) but Moynihan and Bayer were hilarious with their "hottest couple" bit, I seriously think they could replace Colin Jost with a mop and no one would notice, Jay Pharoah and Keenan Thompson's Barkley and Shaq bit is always funny - even Keenan lost it there for a moment - but it sure seems like Weekend Update is more about the "guests" than the fake news anymore. I hope they do something different next season because it is not working.

Museum Tour - this was OK but too long and really just a one-note bit - I did enjoy seeing Keenan "Get Riled"

Blazer - too long of a set-up but it was alright

Virgin Dream - this one was hilarious, Scarlett Johannsen really should be the voice of Siri or some other AI

Jingle Writers - this one was kind of dumb and would have been awful if it weren't for that falcon screeching. Was this the ONLY sketch Kyle Mooney was in this week?
