April 4Apr 4 They are on a ROLL with the sketches this week! The unconscious bias digs in the Traitors one how unhinged is this lengthier Weekend Update also...!Riz Ahmed was the host I knew least about beforehand yet he's the one I've enjoyed the most. That rap in the DJ segment!!I've praised the musical guests so far but Kasabian sounded really ropey in that first performance 😳

The Traitors skit had me in stitches. 🥲 Kasabian were the only real weak point so far.
April 5Apr 5 I need to watch the full episode but I've always got time for Riz He's so charismatic, likeable and funny!The Traitors sketch was excellent but that Operation skit... As soon as they were in the restaurant and the waiter came running over... I was GONE. Just so simple but SO funny! I've only seen those two and the cold open so far but... this SNL UK launch has been a success to me.
April 5Apr 5 Fell asleep during the radio sketch so need to catch up again but Riz was great from what I saw last night. Weekend Update is slowly becoming my favourite segment
April 6Apr 6 Weekend Update was great once again (Ania and Paddy really make it work as brilliantly as it does). Riz was probably my least favourite host of the three so far oops, but the episode was still entertaining enough on the whole. The Traitors, phones in TV shows/movies and Operation sketches in particular were all on point. The rest, less so.And Kasabian... lord. I think they need to stop trying to play edgy and cool with the musical guests and just book people that can actually perform and sing live decently.
April 10Apr 10 I thought the Traitors skit fell a bit flat. I think it's maybe because I've saw so many reels on social media of people mocking the show in the same way that it just wasn't anything new for me and I think it was a bit awkward with the delivery at times.The hostage sketch with Jamie Dornan was absolutely HILARIOUS though even if you could see him constantly looking at the lines off stage.

April 10Apr 10 The Weekend Update was fantastic! The part about how Jesus is the only murdered Palestinian that it's ok to talk about!! Fantastic.
April 11Apr 11 DadSwap cracked me up. The Mastermind skit was good too.Jorja performing Little Things ❤️
Sunday at 07:385 days Weekend Update is everything (however what the heck was that Gen Z segment about??)
Sunday at 19:575 days They kinda lost me with that episode ngl. Mastermind was funny but apart from that everything else fell really flat. Got what they were going for with the first football sketch but it wasn't really that funny, and then the one with the children was just so ???

What was that awful northern accent one of them was failing at? Awful skit
Sunday at 22:465 days The Dads Swap sketch, Mastermind, the opening slketch and weekend Update was all so good this week!
Monday at 22:434 days Agreed this week had quite a few misses but I did love DadSwap, the pivot to parodying Melania for the cold open this time instead of Starmer again and how old school the rolling down the hill sketch was. “1930s cocaine” also won’t leave my brain. The charismatic cast keeps me invested even when it’s not the strongest week. Looking forward to finding out the next batch of hosts / performers
