It was good to see SNL bring back 2 beloved characters from the 80's - Dana Carvey's "Church Lady" in the cold open, and Eddie Murphy's "Buckwheat" singing backup for Alicia Keys. That was definitely "Otay"!!

Although she wasn't wearing it during the songs, I'm pretty sure she was wearing a boot/cast during the good nights.

As great as his set was, he was too cool to come out for the good nights?

That's because they're on at 10 pm, at least in the eastern time zone.

And why was Beck Bennett playing drums for Hozier?

OJ Simpson was actually pretty good in some of his sketches IIRC.

She reminded me of Stacy Q in 1986 doing Two of Hearts - the first time I can remember that SNL let a musical guest lip sync without even having a band pretend to play behind her.

Did anyone see the shows not long ago on I think it was NatGeo with some of the old crew doing commentary on old National Geographic TV shows? Some of them weren't half bad.

Please tell me you're trying to be ironic. Kanye West's two songs were two of the worst by an SNL guest ever.

He was the bass player for Of Monsters And Men.

And Tom Hanks got fatter!

He actually screwed up the only line he had! Kids, let that be a lesson to you- crack is wack!!!

Or Jamie Lee Curtis - or would that have been typecasting?

That's why God invented closed captioning.

I'd much rather see her cleavage again than the damn "Californians"!

That would be truly Dawesome!

I can't believe no one's mentioned his having to duck his noggin back to avoid getting beaned by the retracting microphone at the last minute.

Didn't the corpse of Ed Koch already host SNL? Never mind, that was pre-corpse!

I liked that first Lumineers song a lot better when the Ramones first did it.

You can find the studio version on youtube.
