Jack Black returned to SNL as host, delivering a performance filled with memorable sketches and his signature comedic flair. Highlights included a playful interaction with Bowen Yang involving ridiculous camera glances, and a historical sketch depicting the confusion of theatergoers at the very first play. Black's promotional interactions reflected his comedic ability, with clever misunderstandings of what hosting entails. Overall, the episode benefited from Black's knack for exaggeration and well-executed comedy, effectively blending sketches with the promotion of the show and its comedic style.
Sometimes a Saturday Night Live host can surprise you; on their stints as host, both Adele and Charli xcx demonstrated excellent comic timing.
One of the episode's highlights seemed designed for Black and Bowen Yang to direct a series of increasingly ridiculous glances at the camera.
The sketch feels like something of a riff on the likely apocryphal story of an early film of a train prompting audiences to panic.
It's nice to see the show using, well, sketch comedy to promote its sketch comedy.
