Martin Short & Hozier

Merry Christmas! In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Saturday Night Live has gifted us an episode helmed by the brilliant and always hilarious Martin Short on the event of his fifth time to host, and packed to the brim with some of the show’s favorite hosts from the past, including Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, and Melissa McCarthy.

Was the episode perfect? No. But it was filled with warmth, some familiar comforts, cheeky nonsense, and happy surprises, which, in the end, is all you can ask from a Christmas episode.

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.
