The only funny thing is Colin jost and Michael Che. All the acting is staged and not improv lie it used to be. And who is the host. Where did he come from? I’ve never heard of these musical acts either.

      I felt this one. Hadn’t seen it in years. Watched a random skit on YouTube one day and thought it was awful. Had my Seymour Skinner moment.

      The music part is so obviously this. OP, check an older season’s musical guest list. Gonna take a guess you know every act from a season in 2006-2011. The acts are always relevant to pop culture in some way (2026 references incoming), either being a current trending artist (Anita), an older one that’s touring or releasing an album (Gorilla), and/or someone continually famous (Cher, Paul McCartney) . It’s not SNL’s fault you don’t know them. If you were this age in 2006 (so, your parents maybe?) would you (your parents) know Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Akon, AFI, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Snow Patrol, or Death Cab for Cutie? Those aired 05-07.
