Ariana Grande stole the show with her great voice imitations of Jennifer Coolidge and others. Her talent for mimicry should be more widely known and appreciated.
Lorne has hit the half-century mark with our beloved and iconic TV show. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. The quality has deteriorated sadly for the past few years with major cracks being visible in the formerly solid foundation. No amount of super glue may ever be able to put Humpty Dumpty together again. It was a great run, rivaling Gunsmoke, for the past half century.
Severely cracked and scheduled for demolition is the assessment here. It was a kind gesture from superstar Ariana to try to help this old TV show, which seems to be in the "I've fallen and I can't get up!" category at the moment.

The imitations of Joe Biden and Fran Drescher were both inaccurate and amateurish.
Jost and Che haven't been fired yet. Why is it taking so long to get rid of that giggling duo?
The Foo Fighters foned it in.
The writer's room time-filler sketch was, as always, the expected nothing burger .
Walken looked awkward surrounded by amateur actors.
The cute trick-or-treaters couldn't have stolen the show because there was no show to steal.
The Foo Fighters foned it in again.
Nate Bargatze can't act and can barely tell an amusing anecdote. The audience laughter sounded like the canned variety.
The chef contest bit was bland, poorly seasoned and the presentation was lackluster.
"Weekend Update" made fun of Mike Johnson for being a generic and interchangeable conservative politician. He could have hosted this episode.
At last, the cast finally assembled on stage for their traditional SNL group hug. Nobody else wants to hug them. Chris Walken still looked awkward.

Obviously, this was intended to be Mark Cousins' magnum opus and labor of love. His "brilliant insights" into the vast panorama of worldwide cinema history offer little more than the equivalent of a college elective course in Film Appreciation. Whether it was pure ego, jealous guardianship of his precious concoction, budget restraints or all three combined which led him to make the gigantic blunder of casting himself (or allowing himself to accept the role) as the presenter/narrator is anyone's guess.
The entire series should be redubbed by a professional voice actor.
Apparently, he fancies himself to be filmmaker in his own right despite being unskilled in the craft.
Apart from some beautifully restored and crystal clear film clips from the earliest years of the motion picture industry, it is mostly a "been there, done that" journey down memory lane with Mark Cousins as your inept "Mr. Know-It-All" museum docent. That Irish upspeaking, sing-song, leprechaun inflection is enough to provoke the hurling of a brick at the TV screen.
Did I mention that Mark Cousins has no talent for voice work? Is that how he normally talks on the phone?
Mark, next time, assign the voice track to one or more professionals. You ruined your own pet project!
