Adam Driver as a baby is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. I literally choked I was laughing so hard. My head still hurts.

I thought Driver excelled but the sketches themselves were pretty so-so. He made episode better.

Beep Beep was so good but it could have been better. Nobody can hang with Driver and that really sucks. I just wish anyone else in the sketch could do something other than cartoon, over acting, "I'm in an SNL skit" shtick.

But Driver saved it and I still really loved it.

When they talk about Ghostbusters is hilarious.

Pretty good, about what I was expecting. Some decent bits or lines here or there throughout; the ABBA sketch got me to laugh out loud a couple times and the Whiskers sketches are always fun to me. Of course the Update joke off was a highlight.
I wasn’t expecting sickle cell anemia to be part of a Christmas sketch.

that's my favorite when they do it each year. Nice touch adding the activist lady (that turns out to be an actress and not real. didn't know until looking it up)

Finally watched the McKinnon episode. ABBA and tampon farm were funny. And the joke Che had to read about “y’all need Jesus” was really funny

This was very good. The subject of his son's passing was handled quickly and efficiently, but also with grace, then it was right to the funny stuff (no guest this week). Dana seems just a little subdued. Felt very human.
He seems to be in a good place after what has happened. That was good to hear. The episode itself was kinda boring, tho. Just the two of them going back and forth. I guess at this point, the guests are the real draw for me. Really looking forward to hearing the McKean episode.
