Saturday Night Live, Sunday Night or Later: Season finale edition
Perhaps I am a cowardly ranker, but I feel like Season 47 was good. Not phenomenal, not horrific, but good. There were moments I would like to forget, but there were also plenty of stand-out moments that I still remember weeks after the season is over.
The next season will be weird without some of the people that I loved the most on the show, but these detailed reviews I’ve been conducting have made me respect and love the work that goes into getting the organizational nightmare of a live television show written, rehearsed, performed and broadcasted to millions of people across the nation and the world; it makes me willing to forgive the rare slip-ups in that process.
All in all, everything evened out to be good. I am, in retrospect, glad that I stayed up late for 21 Saturdays to watch every episode this season, and I hope that everyone who read this column—from those who watched every episode every week like I did to those who saw some sketches on YouTube of a host they liked—enjoyed watching this season as much as I did.
Alright, that’s our show. You’ve been a great audience and I hope you all have a wonderful summer, patiently waiting for Season 48 to start.
