Saturday Night Live‘s most cheerful success story, Jimmy Fallon, was back to host the Christmas episode this week and it was, “so good to be home.” Musical numbers a’plenty, old characters, and fellow esteemed SNL vets including Rachel Dratch, Tracy Morgan, Horatio Sanz, Chris Kattan and special guest Jude Law might have had something to do with the night’s success.
One highlight was the Weekend Update Joke-Off: deskmates Tina Fey & Jimmy vs. Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers, reminding us of all the chemistry and splendor this segment used to possess. Too bad all we have now is Vanessa Bayer’s shark teeth. Another highlight was a mirror, mirror scene fabulously mimicking the classic with Mick Jagger. And lastly was a parody of the broadway production War Horse, where Jimmy played the role of the horse. With great hosts one right after another, as with Katy Perry’s dedication last week, we appreciate our gift, Lorne. Merry Christmas indeed.
