Bill Burr Hosts First SNL Episode Post-Election

Bill Burr hosted a politically charged episode of 'Saturday Night Live' following Donald Trump's recent election victory. The show featured three Boston-themed sketches, including a spoof on 'Good Will Hunting' and a comedic commercial for Buffalo Wild Wings, where Burr portrays a disgruntled Patriots fan. In his monologue, Burr acknowledged the election outcome, suggesting that women need to reconsider their fashion choices to win elections, which sparked controversy for its insensitivity. The Weekend Update segment included pointed jokes about the political landscape, with Michael Che referencing Trump's dominance in a humorous way. Despite some amusing moments, critics noted that the overall quality of sketches felt tired and lacking in creativity. Musical guest Mk.gee performed during the episode, and the show ended with a tribute to producer Quincy Jones.
