I don’t think anyone is arguing that it is as good as it was back in the day. Just that even in it’s prime not every sketch was gold.

I only watched because of Nate and most of what I watched was pretty solid.

Adam Driver's Oil Baron skit
Driver is talented. The Undercover Boss -Starkiller skits were funny. The Medieval Times skit was good. Seems like he must have good instincts and influence on the direction of his skits. His episodes stood out.

This was the funniest SNL I’ve seen in years. We were laughing out loud.
That George Washington skit really seemed like Bargatze wrote it. But, the whole show was much better than usual. Maybe they finally got some better writers? It reminded me of what SNL could be and used to be.

What is crazy is how well Chapelle hit with good skits on his show.
Pretty sure if able, the host helps write the skits. I’m sure Dave added good material. He also can deliver better than almost anyone.

This was genius

My wife and I have watched every episode in 20 years being together. We just both love sketch comedy
Yes it’s gotten woke and writing is a shell of what it was, but after Leslie Jones and other recent annoying chicks left, it’s been enjoyable.
I didn’t like weekend update with Che and Jost at first, but they are really good now.

It was a really good, almost great episode. Bargatze's dry delivery lets the premise of the skits shine. It's always great when you have a host who can work that magic.
Besides the stuff that people have mentioned:
• Bargatze's chef character ending every sentence with, "I'm sorry."
• Sarah Sherman's ridiculous turns as Fran Drescher and Jost's agent.
• Christopher Walken returning to introduce "Foo FIGHT-UHS"
Last week's episode had those cheesy pop-ins by Kelce, Swift, and Jagger (by the way, publicity hogs Kelce and Swift just announced to Lorne Michaels that they were on their way to see the taping, and Michaels had them added to the show), but I was happy to see Walken "walk in" to the cold open. A beat after he walked in, I told my wife, "Oh shite. They're gonna' have him introduce Foo Fighters." I think they overdo the cameos on this show, but this one was well worth it.

It was a great episode, the chef showdown was just perfect

Chef showdown had me cracking up. "I'm so sorry". haha
The one on the plane where they asked for a doctor was funny too.
"No I'm not a doctor, but I am a lawyer, and that's like second best".
I only saw clips on youtube. And likely in my feed due to me being a fan of Nate. But those skits, along with the George Washington, are basically right up his wheelhouse for sense of humore and clicked with me.

Was a solid episode all around. It's almost always better when they have an actual comedian or comedy actor host.

the show used to be counter culture writers and a counter culture producer making fun of the Establishment and the anti-Establishment movement equally
in the 70s and 80s the stuff Lorne Michaels produced was derived from or related to SNL. In the 90s he produced Waynes World and discovered a very lucrative way to use SNL talent to produce and make successful movies that gave him a lot of power in Hollywood.
Eventually Michaels becomes an elite TV and Movie producer/broker and a cornerstone of the entertainment industry establishment. This level of power brings ties to Media, Government, etc
Michaels became what they used used to make fun of, he is firmly a part of the Establishment and his little comedy TV show is not worth fighting over. So hire a bunch of 25-35 comedy writers, hire a bunch of 25-35 improv performers and get a narrow and very safe world view show written for a simpleton audience. The only thing that makes it tolerable is occasionally a comedian does the show, brings their ideas to the show and it makes for some funny moments.

This is what people forget about SNL. There are always only a couple of funny skits in an episode. I've gone back on Peacock and watched episodes from all the classic casts: Farley, Ferrell, Murphy, whoever. 85% of those shows are clunkers. When was the last time you watched the whole "Cowbell" episode? There was maybe one or two other funny skits (I love The Continental). Nostalgia only lets us remember the great skits, not all the crap.
I've rewatched episodes from the 90's. The early 90's was kind of hit or miss but I feel like there were fewer misses in the late 90s. BUT, 2009 - 2014 era may have been the best. I've rewatched those episodes and they are much higher quality overall than any other era, with only a couple duds each episode, if even that. The cast and writing were some of the best that has ever been at SNL.
