    We must have watched different shows. I’ve chuckled at least once during every sketch so far. Do none of you have a teenage kid right now?

    I was kind of hoping they'd trot out an NFL player for the Super Bowl weekend show - the Mannings have killed, Walter Payton and Joe Montana killed back in the day - figured this year might be JJ Watt.

    This year, they're not even having a show Super Bowl weekend. Woody isn't until the end of the month.

    And since JJ already hosted once, I'm not sure he warrants a return engagement, since I don't remember his last episode being that memorable. He's not quite in that echelon of the Manning brothers.

    No I do not. #ComicBookGuyVoice

    Mario Kart was solid, but otherwise, it was a dud.

    I had to fast-forward through the hospital sketch, it was so grating. It was like a rejected sketch the recycled from The Californians.

    I found the episode amusing but not too memorable. Maybe I was just in a good mood.

    The buffalo wing pre-tape really made me laugh.

    The buffalo wing ad was so hilarious.

    My bad, that was great.

    I just checked out the buffalo wings bit. Laughed my ass off; may not have wings any time soon.

    Pascal might have been the best host of the season. The two restaurant sketches at the back end - "COOK my meat" - the WU "guests" were good "Yan Wudders!" - the cast seems like a basketball team trying to figure out who should be getting the ball with the clock winding down.

    Seemed to me like Loren wants Bowen Yang taking the last shot. Constantly.

    He does "the weird" as well as McKinnon - but he's more of a three-point shooter off the bench. They can only recycle his "Titanic Iceberg" sketch so many times (see Debbie Downer) before it loses its impact.
