What to Know

Critics Consensus

A game Woody Harelson and innovative performance from Billie Eilish can't save a mediocreseason opener that once again relies too heavily on celebritycameos -- though that girl Maya Rudolph can come back whenever she likes.

Ryan McGee Rolling Stone Here's the real breakdown: over the next nine months, SNL will produce about 200 sketches. Fifty will be great, 50 will be awful, and one hundred will be fine. In other words, it will be another season of SNL. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel "SNL" staged its own trailer of "Downton Abbey" and joked that nothing really happens in the box-office hit. But the same could be said for the blah season opener of "SNL." Sep 29, 2019 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter I'd try to figure out other things to say about Saturday's premiere, but good or bad, Saturday Night Live just doesn't offer much to talk about these days. Sep 29, 2019 Full Review Josh Davis Pop Culture Leftovers Saturday Night Live has been hit or miss for the last several years. Chalk this one up as "just OK." Oct 5, 2019 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba The monologue has Colin Jost written all over it. Oof. Welcome to Season 45! Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Larry Getlen Decider SNL's season premiere gave off a same-as-it-ever-was vibe, not exactly encouraging after a lackluster last few seasons.
