The 2021-2022 TV season marked the 47th run of "Saturday Night Live," NBC's venerable late-night comedy and variety institution. Nearly 50 years in, the show is still going strong, holding its spot as a star-making powerhouse. Season 47 has also proved to be a pivotal one for "SNL," largely due to some major cast shifts. New additions like Sarah Sherman, Aristotle Athari, and comedy troupe Please Don't Destroy joined the show and made an immediate, positive impact, while veteran stars Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson all decided to walk away from "SNL" after the season finale.
But amidst all those changes lay the sketches. Over the course of nine months, a 90-minute show requires hundreds of them. Some of them were comic perfection, others not so much. In 2021-2022, the "SNL" writers and repertory players presented some of the series' most memorable sketches ever — for better and for worse. Here are the very best comedy bits from Season 47 of "Saturday Night Live," along with the ones that just didn't land.
