(Updated) ‘Saturday Night Live’ gets all hot and bothered by Jacob Elordi

I have seen a number of people online today saying that they had never heard of Jacob Elordi until last night, and if you’re in that same camp, I’m here to tell you it’s OK. You’re just old. Elordi’s breakout role was in Netflix’s 2018 teen movie, Kissing Booth, before joining HBO’s teenage fever dream, Euphoria. He’s having a moment right now after starring as Elvis in Priscilla, and as the object of unfettered lust, Felix Catton, in the devious and demented Saltburn. He’s very tall, he’s very handsome, and Saturday Night Live wants you to know they see it, too.
Like when Jennifer Lopez hosted in 2019, the majority of the sketches’ premises were “HE’S SO HOT! ISN’T HE HOT? MY GOD, HAVE YOU SEEN HOW HOT THIS MAN IS?”; A premise that wears pretty thin by the third or fourth time. That said, despite Elordi’s lack of comedy chops, and despite the repetitive nature of the sketches, in the end, I wasn’t mad at this episode. There was enough padding from the rest of the cast to keep it afloat, and when Elordi quit clenching his jaw for a second and relaxed into trying to be funny instead of just handsome, he had a moment or two. Or maybe it was terrible and I was just blinded by his hotness, who’s to say.

We nearly had a very different Joel on ‘The Last of Us’ and boy, it would have pissed some people off.
Can we talk about ‘The Last of Us’? Please?

Between the Astros clinching their place in the ALCS and Megan Thee Stallion hosting and serving as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live (on an episode whose start was threatened by the Astros game because it just went on SO LONG), Saturday was a big night for my hometown of Houston, Texas. Now, this might shock those of you in Houston, but there are people out there in this world who do not like either the Astros or Megan Thee Stallion. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THEM, AMIRIGHT? But to them I say: too bad, so sad, Saturday night was all about HustleTown.
Megan Thee Stallion is only the second female rapper to host and serve as the musical guest of Saturday Night Live after Queen Latifah had the honor back in 2004. And I have to say, Megan did Houston proud. She has so much charisma and personality as a performer that extends past her obvious musical talent. Those of us who have seen her in She-Hulk and as a judge on Legendary already knew this, and weren’t surprised at her ability to hold down a live sketch comedy show. Plus, the writers gave her a series of sketches that played to her larger-than-life persona helping her deliver a solid — if not particularly revolutionary — episode of SNL. Good job, H-Town Hottie.
