The latest episode of Saturday Night Live featured Helen Mirren as the host, with mixed results. The show had some standout sketches, such as the Monologue and the Perspectives Photo Studio commercial. However, there were also sketches that fell flat, like the Presidential Address Cold Open and The Roosevelts parody.
One of the highlights of the episode was the Perspectives Photo Studio commercial, which humorously tackled a strange new social trend of men taking professional cell phone pictures of their anatomy. The sketch had strong comedic timing and featured a memorable cameo by Seth Meyers.
On the other hand, sketches like the Presidential Address Cold Open and The Roosevelts struggled to deliver consistent laughs. The reliance on outdated comedy formats and lackluster writing led to some segments feeling long and unfunny.
Despite these shortcomings, the episode had its moments, and Helen Mirren’s performance as the host added a touch of elegance to the proceedings. Overall, the show had some hits and misses, but fans can look forward to future episodes with different hosts and fresh comedic material. Stay tuned for more SNL updates and recaps.
