Nate Bargatze makes his triumphant return to ‘Saturday Night Live’

Here’s an SNL fact that will forever stay in your brain and kick out your grandmother’s birthday or the name of your first friend in elementary school: since 2010 (so 300+ episodes), Nate Bargatze is only the 9th person to be asked back within a year of their first time hosting SNL. Despite not being a household name when he hosted last season, Bargatze had an impressive debut, wowing even cynical viewers with his great timing and every-guy delivery.

That said, he’s still not familiar to most people:

Hopefully this episode, which was a solid outing (if not quite as great as his debut) will make him a more familiar face to more of America, because he certainly deserves it.

Pedro Pascal seduces ‘Saturday Night Live’ with his Daddy energy

Here’s the thing about Pedro Pascal — currently he’s playing a pair of gruff loners in two of the biggest shows on television: The Last of Us and The Mandalorian. But Pascal’s big breakthrough role was Oberyn Martell, also known as The Red Viper, on Game of Thrones. And Oberyn Martell is the absolute opposite of Joel and Din Djarin. Oberyn is a witty, clever, sexy lothario, oozing charm and danger and seducing everyone in his path. And he seems much more what Pascal is like in real life than in either of his current roles.

Or maybe that’s just what I want to believe:

All that sexiness aside, Pascal also gives off a definite goofy energy; he seems like a guy it would be entertaining to have a beer with — until he seduces your wife. And he brought all that charisma, exuberance, and yes, sexiness with him to deliver one of the best Saturday Night Lives of the season.

Or maybe I was just blinded by the Daddiness of it all.

Kristen Stewart helms the weakest ‘Saturday Night Live’ of the season so far

Kristen Stewart returned to host Saturday Night Live for the second time this week and it was not great. It’s not Stewart’s fault. Despite her stand-offish, awkward persona, she has good comic timing and a willingness to be silly. Unfortunately, the material they gave her to work with didn’t allow any of that to really shine through, and so the night felt like more like a Kristen Stewart wig showcase than an actually funny episode of Saturday Night Live. Better luck next time, Stewart.
