Saturday Night Live Recap: Martin Short Brings A Near-Dozen Plus Ones
A Christmas episode with this many five-timers can’t be anything but fun and heartwarming.
In addition to our host, we saw a slew of five-timers: Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin (who I guess is on retainer), Kristen Wiig (God, I miss her), John Mulaney, Scarlett Johansson, Melissa McCarthy, Emma Stone, and Jimmy Fallon (also briefly in the monologue, less dead-eyed than usual after a smooch from Short). They nicely complemented current cast members’ characters, like lonely spa employees and Kenan Thompson’s coin-operated TSA agent reciting variations of “bag in a bin.” • The Weekend Update monologue joke about Diddy, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk hosting SNL next year—the guilt from the 2016 season has turned into an avenue for self-deprecating humor about the show, and it’s fun.
