This was a bleak, strange night in SNL history. Not even the combined charm of Hanks and Rudd could overcome the gloom of having to put on an irregular show.

If anything was "for the best" with this episode, then it was definitely for the best that an established host, such as Rudd, was at the helm for this one.

I hope after the credits rolled, they stole to the dressing room and cracked open a bottle of some good stuff and had some laughs about the horrible absurdity of it all. To us! Mired and resilient.

Overall, not a very good episode, but also kind of cool to see them actually put a show together in the midst of all of this, which is to say: It wasn't good, but it was memorable.

Mashable

It's a weird, awkward, sincere, wholesome, and - thanks to the antics of Steve Martin and Martin Short, who appeared in a video call - ever-so-slightly spicy kickoff to an outside-the-norm SNL.
