Kelly Lawler USA Today Its cast, though still large and unwieldy (with 15 regulars and six featured players), has rarely been so well deployed. Nov 15, 2021 Full Review Allegra Frank The Daily Beast The media melted down into a frenzy over Davidson’s exit from the sketch show. But any true fan knows that Bryant’s singular presence is what will be missed the most. May 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C This season sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 21 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Nydeco 1 Absolutely horrible. Not entertaining. How could they put on such obviously not funny sketches? Are they simply unable to write quality material or do they actually believe they are funny? I blame Lorne Michaels for allowing the show to sink to an all-time low. He should fire all his writers and hire a new team with actual talent. If he can't find genuinely funny writers then shut down the show. He should be embarrassed, as I'm sure many of the talented cast members are, week after week for having to perform such subpar sketches. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Tyler K Is it a crime to like SNL by this point 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/22 Full Review Robert H I sure wished they would bring Alec back to make fun of Trump. As a matter of fact they should make fun of everyone that is MAGA. that would be really funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/22 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the funniest 21 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of 2025, the series will be 50 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
