The episode felt like it was a bit on auto-pilot, reviving characters that really shouldn’t have been brought back and rushing through each sketch as if the humor wasn’t worth holding on to. Go to Full Review

3/5
Affability was also a big theme throughout the episode for the host, who brought his signature intensity when needed but played it earnest when the characters required it. Go to Full Review

Last night’s cold open brought a new dimension to the satire. The gender-swapping was also a matter of age-swapping -- adults became teenagers and men became girls. Go to Full Review

[Mikey Madison] was in most of the sketches, but with the personality of a background player. This may have been a problem with the material she was given, or the fault of nerves. But you just couldn't tell if she was having any fun. Go to Full Review

Not a good show. Mikey Madison was something of a background player in her own episode (save for the Please Don’t Destroy sketch), and the writers never really knew what to do with her. Go to Full Review

5.4/10
Madison’s hosting debut was a lot like Paul Mescal’s earlier this season: there’s a lot of charm present, but even our finest living actors can’t quite cut it on a live sketch show. Go to Full Review
