“After a bit of a rocky start, Malek ended up acquitted himself just fine as host, although the contrast between him and the far more charismatic and comedically inclined Craig didn't do him any favors.” –

“A surprisingly strong episode. Taylor-Joy and Lil Nas X both killed it, and as far as the post-monologue sketches went, there wasn't a dud in the bunch.” –

“Instead of playing to Key's strengths - particularly his talent for closely detailed character work, as glimpsed briefly in his Last Dance parody - the show had him hover on the edge of a bunch of baggy, interminable ensemble numbers.” –

“[Musk's] awfulness mostly served to highlight the much deeper weaknesses of the cast and the writing. However, the episode was responsible for one legitimate bit of hilarity, as it appears to have sent dogecoin's value plummeting.” –

“Kaluuya was responsible for a few bright spots but most of the episode left a lot to be desired. The sheer laziness on display... underlines one of the biggest problems with SNL right now.” –

“King has always been an excellent comedic actor, so it's no surprise she felt at home. It's only too bad she wasn't given that one great, memorable sketch to showcase her powers to the full. Hopefully she returns soon.” –

“On its own, this wouldn't be anything too disappointing - every at-bat can't be a home run, after all - but given that it fell on both Halloween and the Saturday before election day, you'd expect things to feel a little bigger and livelier.” –
