Bad Bunny was a funny, confident, but self-effacing SNL host, as game to throw on a nun or Shrek costume as to play up his cool guy cred.
Bad Bunny did much of his hosting this week in his native Spanish, and I was here for it. In his monologue , Bunny made fun of American TV’s penchant for glossing over non-English speakers’ words with the terminally lazy “Speaking non-English” closed captions. And while BB certainly can hold his own in English, asking someone not completely fluent to host for a live 90-minute national comedy show in the tongue he’s second-most comfortable in seems like a recipe for disaster on all sides.
The ongoing Jada Pinkett Smith parade of self-revealing talk show appearances was bound to get the Ego Nwodim treatment, so here it was in the only correspondent piece of the night. Ego doesn’t really have a Jada, but her performance is as serenely strange as Pinkett Smith’s current confessional streak is, and Ego’s needed a decent solo piece this season.
On the featured player scorecard apart from Marcello: One line for Michael Longfellow, a sizable role for new kid Troast, Devon Walker smashed a straight role, and Molly played another blustering nun.The sketch about the corporate takeover of a certain organic-branded lip balm company sketch is so low-key gentle in its comedy that it’s tempting to say it lets down the vaunted last-sketch standards.
