SNL Mid-Season Report Card
This season of Saturday Night Live can at best be described as unremarkable. While we’re used to perhaps only have one or two sketches hit per episode, this season has seen multi-episode stretches go on before anything memorable is presented.
They’ve fumbled the ball when they have strong hosts such as Steve Carell, Matt Damon and Jonah Hill. They couldn’t save first time hosts from flubbing(Halsey, Clair Foy). And if you’ve grown tired of the political takes on the show, this season has put you to sleep.
The only two highlights of this season have been the John Mulaney(which is what happens when a former SNL writer is the host) and the fact that the hosting duties have been given to a bunch of people of color(six as of now).
But it’s going to take some strong shows to salvage my opinion of this season. Let’s check in to see how the cast is doing.

Will "Mamma Mia 2" Be Making Its Way to Broadway?
Let's be honest. When it was announced, did any of us have high hopes for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again?
I'll be the first to say I didn't. In fact, I remember posting on Facebook, "Who asked for this?!?!?!" and jeering its trailer during NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live!
Not only was I not looking forward to this movie, but I also predicted it would fail.
How wrong I was.
