Twins skit really stole show. In skit John Krasinski is busy in a Zoom call (as every household right w is) and suddenly his two twins pop up. ‘ Shining’ tribute to pandemic is hilarious and at same time creepy. Krasinski’s straight face while is two t so rmal kids makes skit a t bit funnier than it alrey was. Blue Georgia skit is ar hom to of course Georgia and seriousness with which -mask narrative is being performed at every ok. Pete Davidson steals show as a New-Yorker and our fellow Georgians, John, Aidy, and Beck put up a realistically funny picture.

SNL fans erly await Weekend updates by Colin Jost and Michael Che in every new episode. first weekend update of 2021 was less than highlight of this episode. weekend update duo me sure to cover every new update right from Biden’s reversal of trans ban from army to Los Angeles ro collapse. ir fellow update guests were also SNL fan favourites. Hence, skit got better with each passing appearance.

Since this was first episode of 2021, a power-packed delivery was necessary. Hence, along with a first-time guest host of three guest host series, John Krasinski delivered his best but was over-showed by SNL’s cast. Right from Kate McKinn to Beck, everybody seemed to have h better roles and lines than Krasinski.
