Critics Consensus

Despite the happy absence of Alec Baldwin's Trump, it's another tired episode of SNL with Steve Carell in autopilot.

USA Today

The show's reliance on famous actors and comedians has morphed from an occasional treat into an annoying crutch, an admission that its regular cast isn't good or well-known enough to play the likes of Kavanaugh and Mueller.

David Sims

The Atlantic

Steve Carell, a skilled comedian in his own right who did exceptional work for years on The Daily Show before becoming a movie star, was largely wasted.

New Yorker

Throughout Saturday's show, the presumably exhausted writers relied on throwbacks and old reliable tactics. (At times they swerved lazily into the tone-deaf.)

Put Gardner in more things, SNL. Frankly, that's the biggest takeaway from this weekend's SNL - the show doing more to feature its in-house talent.

For an episode featuring a seasoned comedy star and sketch comedian, this felt like a bit of a disappointment, especially for the Thanksgiving episode.

This may be the worst "Update" of the season and that is saying something.
