Last nights Christmas episode coincided with Martin Shorts entry intoSaturday Night Lives Five-Timers Club.
When he and Martin hosted theirOnly Murders in the Building, costar Selena Gomez popped in for a cameo.
Whod we see this time?
No, and no, but just about everyone else?
Short was having plenty of fun without him.
Between the cameos and Weekend Update, it felt like Short was competing to be a focal point.
Still, it was a strong Christmas episode, with sharp jokes and delightful physical comedy.
But its the end of the year, and Im tired.
(Sorry I said that.)
But to borrow/paraphrase one of Shorts lines, I genuinely loved seeing almost everyone.
Melissa McCarthy is perfect, as always.
And the self-deprecation was a biting touch that helped it not feel too gimmicky, i.e.
The sub-game of Finemans character upsetting her dad with the alarmingly specific sexual gestures adds texture to it.
Melissa McCarthy, Tom Hanks, and Kristen Wiig also made notable appearances.
Weekend Update
I know about roast beef!
But roast beef is overshadowing Bowens cunty, Jersey-defending drone character.
Wow, indoors … this is different really tickled me.
He concluded with a parody rendition of Defying Gravity because theWickedgrind never stops.
I did enjoy seeing both Jost and Che so deeply in pain reading the jokes out loud.
I recently texted my friend, Colin Jost is growing on me.
Im gonna kms I think its his palpable shame.
Hes very succinctly Irish Catholic, and its one of the things that makes the joke swap work.

Alec Baldwins secret in the cold open being that he has too many kids…
However, I could have lived without the Diddy/Luigi rape joke.
Perhaps the class warisclose) and to Colin Josts amused disbelief at the cheering.
Yeah, definitely woo, he lamented sarcastically.
Yes, girl, we are woo-ing!
Either send Luigi a Christmas card with your number in it like the rest of us, or dont!
