oh, and the gameshow.
We were surprised they brought Washington back too. It was good, but not as good as the first one.
Golf was fantastic. Absolutely hilarious.
Burger Challenge was great.
Haha. At the closing, Bargatze yelled Vanderbilt beat Alabama!
Jesus Christ, Coldplay was terrible.
oh yeah, Burger Challenge was good.
and I told my wife before the show started that he'd bring up Vandy winning.

Carvey really getting some use out of that ice cream cone in the cold open.
Washington, Golf and Burger Challenge were great. Update seemed really short.
And this one singing with Coldplay, oh my

I can always count on Weekend Update to be the best part of the show.

Bargatze has waaay funnier material than that opening monologue.
Golf & Washington II were great.

I think Andrew Dismukes is my favorite current cast member.

Illuminating ranking. I will keep it in mind when I read future trag snl posts.
Personally, I think this is my man Marcelo's year.
Bowen and Ego are consummate professionals, but I'm surprised you don't have Heidi cracking the top five. Sarah is sneaky good. I like her ranking on your list.

I was absolutely in tears during the ¡Sabado Gigante! skit last week. Glad they didn't lean into an obvious Fred Armisen cameo for that one, instead letting Marcelo just cook.

And potentially beyond if Don loses, since we know he won’t go quietly.

Love that Noel was ticked off by the Oasis bit. I thought it was pretty good. Squabbling brothers in their fifties who can only agree on cartoon characters. That's funny!
