Shane Gillis/21 Savage

Shane Gillis as a host helped the show get back some of the fire its been missing. The political sketches besides the cold open didn't feel one sided or like the jokes are for people who constantly watch MSNBC. The normal sketches had darker premises and didn't care about being offensive to play that into the joke against the individual. Weekend update was solid as always. 21 Savages performance was okay. The monologue was better than the actors but wasn't the best out of recent comedians. I appreciated it matched his stand up by not steering away from uncomfortable topics to give a different perspective to land a difficult premise in an unoffensive way, I just felt that having a cleaner set didn't help him. This was the most memorable episode I seen in a while. Best of the season.
