Aubrey Plaza delivered! She really shined in her monologue and the "Miss Universe" sketch. What I especially loved about the latter was that the energy and the vibe that she brought in that sketch reminded me a whole lot of what Kate McKinnon brought to the table back during her run. I was scared that it wouldn't be that good due to Cecily Strong's departure, but I was wrong. I will say though that the HIV sketch was funny yet did get old as it went on as did all the George Santos jokes, but this still was a great episode. However, it still isn't as good as Steve Martin and Martin Short. "Saturday Night Live" made a huge mistake turning Aubrey Plaza down back when she auditioned to be on the show earlier in her career!

STILL CRACKED Attempted Revival
yohnny23 January 2023
Chloe Fineman's imitatation of Jennifer Coolidge was the only bit worth remembering. She's always great.
The Miss Universes loudly shouting out the names of the countries which they represented was pretty damned funny!
Jost and Che were their same boring, giggling and dull selves as always. Scarlett should file divorce papers immediately on the grounds of spousal dorkism.
Aubrey Plaza goes blonde and then introduces her swarthy grandma sitting in the audience.
I am concerned about Lorne Michaels (not to be confused with Lorne Greene of "Bonanza" fame). Did he lose his touch or lose touch with reality?
The Avatar parody had potential but other than the blue makeup and fake ears was pretty lame.
Who is Sam Smith?
