What to Know

Critics Consensus

A game Adam Driver can't overcome lackluster writing and a sluggish pace, though a few off-the-cuff comments from Kanye West make for a memorable premiere -- for better or worse.

Zach Vasquez Guardian The hot buttons were brushed, if not fully pushed, the sketches were more miss than hit, Driver made for a game and likable host, and Kanye Kanye'd. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review LaToya Ferguson IndieWire Even pre-Trump, Kanye and "SNL" have always had a weird hate-hate relationship, but now we're not even getting any good performances to go along with that. Rated: C- Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Ryan McGee Rolling Stone The world has changed. SNL has not. At times, this is a source of comfort. At other times, it's a source of immense frustration. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Ethan Anderton Slashfilm Of course Adam Driver was fantastic, but Matt Damon stole the show in the cold open as Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Matt Melis Consequence There were some worthwhile moments last night. The problem is that just about all of them stemmed from a guest appearance. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba I don't know if this cold open is going to change anything, but you can bet your ass it's going viral. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
