SNL closed off its 1st half run with Kevin Hart. Onto the review
White House Tree Trimming Cold Open: This cold open reverted back to what hasn't worked with SNL's political cold opens. Baldwin's Trump is just sort of there, and it was more of a hodge-podge of lines (decorating the tree with ornaments of the fallen in trump's 1st year). (5.5)
Monologue: Stand-up comedian + monologue = a fairly solid segment. (8.0)
Holiday Jewelry (ad): This parody of Pandora bracelets was pretty spot on. Get a bracelet, and then every occasion just add a vague charm that sort of resembles the person. (7.5)
Office phone Call: (7.0)
Captain Shadow and Cardinal (short): This was a fairly good realistic take on superheros, as Kevin Hart gets pulled over speeding in his bat-like mobile. Chris Redd really stood out as his robin-esque sidekick. (7.8)
Inside The NBA: Jay Pharoah had a good Shaq impression....and so did Kevin Hart. He perfectly portrayed Shaq's, shall we say, oddball nature. (8.1)
(Foo Fighters): (8.2)
Weekend Update: We saw a brief appearance by Omarosa (Leslie Jones).
Alex Moffat returned with his character "Guy who just bought a boat". This character is really starting to come along. It won't reach Stefon heights of course, but i'm interested to see where its going to go. (7.2)
Nativity Play: (5.4)
Christmas Party: (5.1)
Active Jack: (7.4)
(Foo Fighters): Let me just say, what a great Christmas medley to close out the show. (9.2)
Like of much of this season, this show had its moments, but not a whole lot showed out overall. Although the Kevin Hart goodnights were pretty cool, with the classic skating scene. (7.20)
Chance The Rapper: 7.83
Ryan Gosling: 7.63
Kumali Nanjiani: 7.48
James Franco: 7.28
Kevin Hart: 7.20
Saoirse Ronan: 7.16
Tiffany Haddish: 7.15
Larry David: 7.14
