Paul Rudd + Decent Weekend Update + Not Bad Sketches = Goo Season Finale

[jakebirkel · 8/10 · 22 May 2019]

America's best man, the immortal Paul Rudd, hosted SNL's s44 finale, closing it out with an episode that was genuinely funny and stayed that was almost all the way through. (Also I don't have anything on DJ Khalid, if I'm being honest I skipped over it because SNL should really start putting more underrated music artists front and center; instead they got like 20 musical guests.)

Paul Rudd was the perfect one to close out season 44; his natural charisma helped the show keep itself going. The best sketch he was in? Definitely the GoT recap rap with Pete Davidson. However, what really surprised me was Michael Che and Colin Jost; their weekend update really crushed it this week. The jokes were quite funny, the guests weren't cringey-inducing, and let's be honest, the two of them are at their best when they're taking each other down. The comedy does run itself out by the last sketch, but up until then, it's genuine laughter all the way through; it's what I wanted to see. (8/10)

I couldn't sleep at all but I listened to Alec Baldwin portray Trump again and I was out like a baby

GOOD NEWS

Rumors are running wild that this final episode #21 of season #44 may just be the last episode ever produced and that next year (2020) the SNL producers are going to just start ALL OVER again replaying from Season #1 episode #1 that first aired on October 11th, 1975. What this means folks is for those die hard viewers who still have trouble sleeping may have to rely on reruns of Seth Meyers "Late Night" to help put them to sleep.

Now it is just a rumor, but wouldn't that be great? Imagine if we were able to watch re-runs of that very first epic season #1 of SNL with Belushi, Chase, Radner, Morris, Aykrod 'et al? ....and George Carlin was the very FIRST guest host! Epic Man!

As for season 44, episode 21, this was just another boring monologue by grumpy (and very old looking) Alec Baldwin paroding Trump for the umpteenth boring time. Thanks Alec, I was in a deep sleep after about 3 minutes of your monologue.

Keep your fingers crossed folks that maybe...just maybe ....season #45 will begin with reruns of season1 (1975). Please, oh please don't wake me up from this wonderful dream I am having.
