How is Seth MacFarlane even on this list? Seth being a good host is no surprise, he’s been writing and performing comedy for decades.
-
How quick you guys forget about Pedro Pascal. That dude killed it.
-
Chadwick Boseman had the best black jeopardy ever , Michael B. Jordan had the ultimate Jake from state farm hands down
-
the best part of rami malek's impression of pete davidson is that he was sitting right next to pete davidson playing rami malek. i love when they switch up the host and the cast impressions like that.
-
I'm surprised that Betty White isn't on here. The first stint she did on SNL at age 88 was seen as a massive career comeback for her, and it endeared her to a whole new audience. Maybe it wasn't "surprising" enough as she was a familiar comedic actor, but sketch comedy is a different beast, and for a woman of her age to be so goofy and be embraced so seamlessly into the cast was delightful.
-
What about Ryan Gosling? Who could forget the "Papyrus" and Santa sketches?
-
I just saw Adam Driver host a couple of weeks ago, and was taken aback. He was clearly the best actor on stage and never once appeared to be using cue cards. A true professional no matter what the role!
-
Pedro Pascal should definitely be on this list!! He was one of the funniest hosts I’ve seen in a while, and his la mush mouth accent hospital skit that he created was a masterpiece, although Adam driver was another unexpectedly hilarious host also!!! Love the channel!! ❤
-
I love Adam Driver, i love how he’s completely in his role in one of his sketches.
-
Adam Driver was one of the biggest surprises for me. Definitely didn’t expect that after seeing Star Wars and Girls.
-
Russell Crowe definitely deserves at least an honorable mention for his hosting job in season 41. Never expected someone who takes their acting so seriously to crush it on SNL like he did.
-
Hamm and Bublé was probably one of the funniest sketches I’ve ever watched lol.
-
The Rock's World's Most Evil Invention skit has to be top 10 of all time. It had me in stitches, broke those stitches and had me in even more stitches on top of where the initial stitches were.
-
Jason Momoa for me, he really leans into some absurd/twisted characters that get me every time. I still occasionally watch the hide and seek sketch.
-
Adele actually shocked me with her guest spot. Her Africa skit had me dying laughing.
-
In terms of recent hosts, I was surprised how good of a host that Nate Bargatze was. Yes, he is a comedian, but I would not have predicted that he would do so well with sketch comedy. That was also a good example of the writers creating sketches that played to his strengths.
-
The late Chadwick Boseman was great hosting SNL.
-
I'd add Pedro Pasquale to this list
-
Tom Hanks. His Jeopardy was one other best ever sketches.
