cold open - Hilary Clinton prepares to announce her presidential run, Kate Mackinnon is always hilarious and it was good to see Darryl Hammond.

monologue - I am not familiar with who the host is, but i guess she can sing, Leslie Jones and Pete Davidson were funny though

Depend Legends - this was a pretty good parody commercial, although it seems like Vanessa Bayer is in almost every one of these playing virtually the same character (she does it better when she is kooky, here she just plays it flat).

Home 2 Sneak Peak - suitably weird with some funny lines

Did you fall asleep after that?

no - I got interrupted in the middle of replying and lost the second half of it

QVC 3-Way Poncho - wait a minute... it's really only TWO ways!! MacKinnon funny as always, but it wasn't that great of a sketch, I was actually feeling sorry for Aidy Bryant

Game of Thrones South Centros - this parody was OK, but it really had too much build-up for the meager pay-off, it did have a couple of funny lines though.

Weekend Update - Michael Che had some funny bits, I really don't like the Jacob the Barmitzvah Boy bit; it is just such a one-note joke that has been way overplayed, but it was interesting to see Billy Crystal (I think he was kinda wasted in this bit though).

Hollywood Game Night - this is just a vehicle for random character impersonations, some of them marginally funnny and successful, but overall a pretty tame sketch

How 2 Dance With Janelle - another recurring sketch with a limited amount of potential for new jokes, but it was OK

Cookie on Sesame Street - I guess this was the go-to sketch for the host and had to happen, but it was pretty predictable.

Their Own League - i think this was my favorite skit of the night, which isn't really saying much, but it did have a few good lines and Leslie Jones was hilarious

Connectatron - I'm not sure why they did this sketch really, I just didn't get it.
