Critics Consensus

Seth Meyers' homecoming yields mostly positive -- if still somewhat satirically stunted -- results, and proves that Chris Redd deserves much more screen time.

New York Times

Sometimes a "Saturday Night Live" cold open is a genuine surprise, a distillation of recent history that comes completely out of left field. And then sometimes the events of a past week are outrageous enough that they demand an obvious approach.

Entertainment Weekly

Besides being the butt of jokes in Weekend Update, there was even a skit featuring a West song that had nothing to do with the rapper. SNL just can't quit you, Kanye!

President Donald Trump has made "Saturday Night Live" relevant this season. He won't be taking credit for that. But without the spoofs of the president and his administration, the NBC show would have little to recommend it.

A liberal panel show set in Cajun Country ... and let's never speak of it again. A funny accent does not a sketch make, Beck Bennett.

The Daily Beast

Just as its string of humorless, Trump-bashing Baldwin cameos have felt like cultural reparations for the hosting fiasco, so too did this...

Both Donald Trump and Kanye West have appeared on the show in the past... It's a tough line to walk, but SNL has been perhaps better at it than any other show for the past forty-four seasons.
