Saturday Night Live’s 50th season ended last night. The finale was hosted by Scarlett Johansson with musical guest Bad Bunny. It was Bad Bunny’s fourth appearance on the show (he first appeared in a cameo in 2020 and returned as a musical guest twice and a musical guest/host once).

Johansson set a record. The episode was the Avengers star’s seventh time hosting, making her the woman who has hosted the most times (she is closely followed by Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore, who have both hosted six times). Alec Baldwin still holds the overall record with 17 times hosted.

While rumors of cast exits swirled in the lead up to the episode, none were confirmed on the show. (Even if they joked that Sarah Sherman was leaving during the monologue.)

James Austin Johnson appeared as Donald Trump to talk about his trip to the Middle East. He was joined by Emil Wakim as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump spoke about planes and how he loves the Middle East before breaking the fourth wall to enter the crowd. The ending felt a little new, but overall, SNL has done so many versions of this Cold Open this season that it felt a little drab for the finale. There is nothing wrong with it, just a lot of the same.

Johansson is joined by the cast to sing a parody of Billy Joel’s ‘Piano Man.’ It is nice to see the whole cast (sans Michael Che and Colin Jost) together on stage. There are some funny bits including Kenan Thompson’s moment and joking about Sherman getting fired, but the most apt word to describe this monologue is cute.

When a nighttime newscaster fills in during the morning news, she has trouble crafting the cute puns that they usually deliver stories with. This bit is a classic SNL premise that has some really fun performances, especially from Wakim and the singing weatherman.

This sketch features a bit of a twist. Honestly, you should probably watch it before reading the following for maximum enjoyment. SPOILER WARNING: Johansson takes the boys of Please Don’t Destroy on a first class trip, unfortunately they are landing in Newark. There are some great lines in this sketch including Johansson regretting that Avengers didn’t make more money and a great cameo from Bad Bunny. It’s a fun sketch.

Bad Bunny appears in another sketch. He and Marcello Hernández speak in Spanish behind their girlfriends’ backs because their girls are ‘locas’ and, thankfully, don’t understand Spanish. Johnson also appears to deliver a great final line. This sketch is very close to being amazing, but falls a little short. However, it’s still worth a watch.

A sequel to a sketch with Sydney Sweeney from last year, Bowen Yang still just plays gay on TV. While Johansson is married, that doesn’t stop her from wanting to hook up with Yang. This sequel doesn’t go anywhere that the first version doesn’t. However, it has cameos from Gina Gershon and Emily Ratajkowski and a Las Culturistas reference.

Mike Myers plays himself in this sketch, in which he gets stuck with Kanye West (played by Thompson) in an elevator. This is easily the strangest sketch of the night and is worth a watch for that reason alone. It references a viral 2005 TV appearance where Ye famously said, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people” while standing next to Myers. Strangely, this sketch almost doesn’t go far enough.

Bad Bunny performed NUEVAYoL and PERFuMITO NUEVO ft. RaiNao. Both performances are great. He’s not only talented but also creates interesting stories with both performances.

Jost and Che brought their ‘Joke Swap’ segment to the Weekend Update desk. This will likely be the segment people talk most about from the finale. The hosts push it even further than usual (which is saying something). Johansson also joins them with her own joke for Che as revenge for what he made Jost say about her vagina last time they did the segment.

Ego Nwodim also returned as her character, Miss Eggy, to do jokes about airline food. It isn’t as funny as the first time she brought the character, but it’s still a pretty fun bit. Miss Eggy’s energy is still pretty contagious.

Two intimacy coordinators are stumped when they learn that they are working on a lesbian scene. There are some good lines mostly from Mikey Day as the director; however, overall this sketch feels 1990s in a bad way. This will likely be a skip to most viewers.

When a cast is interviewed on a press junket, the male star gets easy questions while his female co-stars get mean ones. This sketch is cute and has a nice message about feminism in the entertainment industry, but feels a little forgettable.

In a beautiful regency-era setting, four women eat disgusting foods. Johansson, Sherman, Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman choke down foods like jellied eels. This sketch feels very fresh. It doesn’t feel like SNL’s usual humor and there’s something horrid about it in a pleasing way. However, it is missing something. It doesn’t build quite right and is bogged down by some poop jokes. Still it feels worth watching for those who can stomach it.

The 50th season ended with Johansson praising Lorne Michaels. Jost then handed her a bouquet of roses and they kissed. She is also notably wearing a Wayne’s World shirt next to Myers.
