Jonathan Majors is having a little bit of a moment.
Now hes hostingSNLwith musical guest Taylor Swift, fresh off there-release of her albumRed.
Meanwhile,SNLmight be Taylors longest, most stable relationship.
This is her fifth time as a musical guest since 2009.
Its a gated community.
Love seeing Cecily Strong in there as Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Its also great to see Aidy who only had two lines last week carry an entire sketch.
Pete Davidson stops by as a giant Joe Rogan.
I used to hostFear Factor, and now doctors fear me.
Best Red Lobster Origin Story
Jonathan Majors comes out absolutely swinging.
Majors continues the pattern of talking about his life, but with some really funny jokes.
Thats my way of saying I went to Yale.
I also love the energy hes bringing.
A pretty boring, unclear split-stage sketch until Ego enters to call out the married Jonathan.
This isnt a rich prince; this is my dumb-ass husband, Dave.
Then Punkie hilariously enters with a long-shot attempt at wooing the queen.
Punkie once again turns a brief opportunity into gold.
An ingenious sketch that is funny and better ingratiates the audience with the three members of hey Dont Destroy.
The sketch then hits the stratosphere with a cameo by Taylor Swift.
This might be a Squid Gamelevel viral sketch.
One of Majors line reads: Children hold hands over border wall.
ONeills Titanium Border Walls.
If so, which of these brands paid to get their name mentioned for the spike in traffic?
The live broadcast even had a Jake from State Farm ad a few minutes before this sketch.
Now theyre actually in my TV shows?
Creepiest Kid Stories
Jonathan and Kenan host an Syfy show calledStrange Kid Tales.
(Interestingly, the third sketch that starts with a narrator telling us what channel were watching.)
Jonathan and Kenan evoke how creepy it is to hear kids talk about ghosts.
This is the funniest live sketch of the night and the best use of Jonathan.
They work well with the actual creepy kids, and the eyes close-up moment is a lot of fun.
When the kid says he served on the Natoma, Jonathan hilariously freaks out.
He knows the name of the ship.
Women finally have a place to bring their lonely male partners: a Man Park.
After they run around and yell, they can cool down with an IPA and really connect.
There are even two parks, one for larger breeds Pats!
and smaller breeds Rick!
Local sicko Colin Jost caught hitting onSNLs barely legal new girl.
Im sitting here looking like Chucky went to Sarah Lawrence.
This is Tinder: Get out of my way, get out of my way, hello baby!
The two old-timey characters then sing a song about how everybody today is doing drugs.
Broadway singers singing about drugs?
That premise wouldnt be shocking in 1975, let alone 2021.
Jonathan soon joins the duo, but he just sort of politely sings and dances about cocaine.
Oh no, get your kids out of there!
This sketch is whereSNLtakes a wrong turn and never recovers.
Most Head-scratching Parody
Twenty-six years ago, rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony exploded onto the scene withE.
1999 Eternal, one of the best rap albums of all time.
I actually had their single, 1st of Tha Month, on cassette.
Keeping Score
Taylor Swiftwas my MVP of tonights episode.
Episodes like this make me nervous.
I hope they can turn it around next week with Simu Liu.
