That was a better than usual episode, because Driver is a better than usual host. Villasenor is awful. Halsey is cool as hell, I like her and her music

Holy fuck this episode is embarrassing. This show feels like it’s being written by 50-year-olds. Flo and Mr. Peanut in the opening sketch? Seriously? That’s legit Facebook boomer humor. Awful.

Why do so many members of the current cast play little kids all the time? It’s kinda weird

Come on, Kyle Mooney in his underwear was great, as was Kate McKinnon’s role in the clogged toilets sketch.
Is this supposed to be ironic?

Good lord, I’m no longer a fan of Villasenor after this egregious Weekend Update garbage. Holy shit. Fuck this show, this episode is a new low.

Halsey was the nail in the coffin for the Pemberton Music Festival. Look it up.

Sounds like a little white male rage seeping out here.

Didn't laugh at either of those. But I do take my comment back. In the underwear sketch I did laugh when they asked the cameraman if he got all of that and he said no

Driver was good (again) in an otherwise so-so episode.

Driver's commitment to these bits is outstanding. It doesn't matter how good or bad, how funny or stupid, I could watch that man perform all day long. His opening monologue was fucking great. And it wasn't anything.

He's a god among men.

Yea he’s just a treasure.

I thought there were a couple great skits including the science teacher, clogged toilet, and the ketchup sketch, and the tacos ketch. I laughed pretty good.



Halsey is incredibly sexy but awful.

Yeah, man, the ketchup skit was probably my favorite. Driver just slayed that. But I didn't think this was an awful episode. Fairly mediocre with some great moments.
