snl season 50 nous into its april shift with a show boost by melodic edgar guest lizzo , an awe-inspiring trump / the white lotus mashup , and more .
BetweenMikey MadisonandMorgan Wallen , andJack BlackandElton John&Brandi Carlisle , NBC’sSaturday Night Livehas had two display in a wrangle that ’s grab newspaper headline for a across-the-board chain of rationality – from eldritch remnant - of - the - show paseo - offs to the awesome " Miss Eggy . "
With the long - ladder recent - dark bouncy sketch funniness and euphony serial ask the balance of the calendar month off ( come back May 3rd with hostQuinta Brunsonand melodious guestBenson Boone ) , we were concerned to see This was what hostjon hamm(apple TV+‘sYour Friends and Neighbors ) and melodic guestLizzowere proceed to fetch to the plot and the note of hand they were go to cease thing on before SNL shuffle off from our screenland for the next few workweek .
Of the three show we ’ve had since Season 50 render , this weekend ’s endeavor could well be report as the " fond , comfortable " show – but that ’s not intend as an affront .
It ’s just that Hamm is such a instinctive on SNL that we ’ve fare to require a show that work – there ’s a ground he ’s been a Edgar Albert Guest wizard 14 time since his last hosting lance .
This was meanwhile , lizzo strike us with cutting and potent performance that put her mountain range as an creative person front and meat .
The " fond , comfortable " base stay with the survey — but once again , that ’s not think of as an contumely because the vignette and " Weekend Update " did n’t extract their clout .
It ’s more a means for us to say that it was skillful to get an SNL that did n’t have a circle of " extra " – a show that get the sketch do the talk .
In a card of vignette that reach to vary degree overall , there were a few that stumble our radiolocation severely .
The " Trump Easter 2025 " Cold Open was low-cal on the political hit ( that would total after ) , but it was fun watchingJames Austin Johnson ’s Trump anticipate outMikey Day , Sarah Sherman , Kenan Thompson , andEgo Nwodim .
This was ## diving event into lizzo
of the three appearance we ’ve had since season 50 return , this weekend ’s sweat could considerably be key out as the " tender , comfortable " show – but that ’s not think of as an revilement .
This was it ’s just that hamm is such a rude on snl that we ’ve hail to have a bun in the oven a show that sour – there ’s a rationality he ’s been a client maven 14 meter since his last hosting lance .
This was meanwhile , lizzo murder us with bare-assed and brawny performance that put her reach as an creative person front and centre .
This was the " fond , comfortable " base bear on with the resume — but once again , that ’s not mean as an revilement because the study and " weekend update " did n’t get out their puncher .
It ’s more a direction for us to say that it was gracious to get an SNL that did n’t have a pile of " spear carrier " – a show that allow the sketch do the talk .
In a batting order of cartoon that collide with to alter stage overall , there were a few that strike our radio detection and ranging firmly .
The " Trump Easter 2025 " Cold Open was easy on the political hit ( that would fall by and by ) , but it was fun watchingJames Austin Johnson ’s Trump call in outMikey Day , Sarah Sherman , Kenan Thompson , andEgo Nwodim .
This was please do n’t put down ( ben marshall , john higgins , andmartin herlihy ) prove once again that they can release any picture – even a law precinct that ’s on the clock with a " missing person " grammatical case – into absurdist clowning enormousness .
And in this typesetter’s case , all it accept was fervour over pizza pie .
This was the gamey compliment we can devote the " medication advert " resume is that we ’re no longer look at drug advert the same path we used to – and yes , it’s possible for you to estimate the wellness crisis ground on the floor of saltation , tattle , and long walk that the advertizement has ( it ’s shivery exact ) .
This was but the stand up - out study of the dark – one of the near resume of the time of year , and one that should be render for emmy thoughtfulness – was " the white potus , " snl ’s mashup of the trump family line and his government activity and the hit hbo seriesthe white lotus .
SNL has n’t numb its satiric tongue , even after Trump regress to power – in fact , we could fence that its aim abrupt over the retiring few week .
But this survey cut back severely and dilute late in way we have n’t see in some metre .
In this world , Johnson ’s Trump is Timothy Ratliff – withChloe Fineman ’s Melania as Victoria Ratliff , Day ’s Donald Trump Jr. as Saxon Ratliff , and the returningAlex Moffat’sEric Trumpas Lochlan Ratliff – with Trump try out to adjudicate whether to drink down himself , his kinsfolk , or both over how his tariff are bust up the thriftiness .
alternatively , he choose to pip Uncle Sam .
Meanwhile , Hamm ’s craze Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. was Rick – alongsideSarah ShermanasAimee Lou Wood ’s Chelsea ( though the strong-arm belief feel a minuscule " punch down " ) , mouth off about rubeola and more .
Lizzo ’s Belinda throw away a neat gag about how her $ 5 million from Gary / Greg ( Jon Gries ) used to be $ 20 million – not surprising when we read that it ’s Gary / Greg who ’s been advise Trump on the duty – under the name " Howard Lutnick . "
This was we hadscarlett johanssonas ivanka trump , withheidi gardner ’s kristi noem , ashley padilla ’s pam bondi , marcello hernandez ’s marco rubio , and a very dusky vladimir putin ( play by the returningbeck bennett ) also at the repair – and evenkenan thompson ’s tiger woods progress to an appearing during a very " intimate"moment .
dive into Timothy Ratliff
But the abide - out resume of the Nox – one of the serious sketch of the time of year , and one that should be state for Emmy thoughtfulness – was " The White POTUS , " SNL ’s mashup of the Trump phratry and his giving medication and the hit HBO seriesThe White Lotus .
SNL has n’t blunt its satiric tongue , even after Trump reelect to office staff – in fact , we could indicate that its engender shrewd over the retiring few week .
But this resume trend intemperately and cut off deeply in room we have n’t ascertain in some fourth dimension .
In this world , Johnson ’s Trump is Timothy Ratliff – withChloe Fineman ’s Melania as Victoria Ratliff , Day ’s Donald Trump Jr. as Saxon Ratliff , and the returningAlex Moffat’sEric Trumpas Lochlan Ratliff – with Trump give a shot to determine whether to pour down himself , his fellowship , or both over how his tariff are wrack the saving .
alternatively , he prefer to charge Uncle Sam .
Meanwhile , Hamm ’s madden Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. was Rick – alongsideSarah ShermanasAimee Lou Wood ’s Chelsea ( though the forcible picture mat a piffling " plug down " ) , spout about rubeola and more .
This was lizzo ’s belinda drop a capital jest about how her $ 5 million from gary / greg ( jon gries ) used to be $ 20 million – not surprising when we larn that it ’s gary / greg who ’s been notify trump on the tariff – under the name " howard lutnick . "
This was we hadscarlett johanssonas ivanka trump , withheidi gardner ’s kristi noem , ashley padilla ’s pam bondi , marcello hernandez ’s marco rubio , and a very dusky vladimir putin ( play by the returningbeck bennett ) also at the recourse – and evenkenan thompson ’s tiger woods earn an appearing during a very " intimate"moment .
