The Emmys were predictable … until they weren’t.
Emma Stone’s induction into ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ Five-Timers Club deserved more fanfare

As I have said twice before on this very site, Emma Stone is a natural for Saturday Night Live: she is charming, she is delightful, she is gorgeous, and she is game for anything. Stone clearly loves doing the show — she does not sleepwalk through the sketches; she is clearly enjoying herself as much as anyone.
And that’s why it’s always something of a disappointment when she hosts: she has so much to give … and SNL has so little to offer her. Even her monologue this week feels half-assed despite the fact that she joined the Five-Timers Club with this episode. Granted, this week’s episode received a much higher grade than the last two times she hosted — they gave her two pretty great sketches this week, and she made the most of them. That said, Emma Stone isn’t a B+ host; SNL needs to start giving her A+ material.
