I found the whole thing embarrassing, not only because it's the latest in a long history of SNL capitulation to conservative indignation... but also because it was indicative of the show's schmaltzy centrism.

A heartfelt, lovely, and yes, funny coda to an ill-fated bit.

If the sketches that followed weren't killers, they at least gave Schreiber plenty of opportunities to shine in odd, compelling ways.

This episode oddly had the mismatched feel of something from SNL's yesteryear, which were the days of songs and silly sketches...

A milquetoast filler episode with only a couple bright spots.

When a political event happens and SNL doesn't quite know how to make it funny, their last resort is to put McKinnon out there and have her cover a pop song as one of her goofy characters. It always feels a little empty.

It makes me wonder if the midterms, combined with Davidson's poor joke and the subsequent reaction, haven't inspired something of a political shift for the show.
