'SNL' Recap Season 47, Episode 11: Will Forte - Vulture
Jan 23, 2022 1 min, 57 secs
It’s hard to believe we once had a season where the main cast was just Will Forte, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, and Kenan Thompson.

Now the show has 21 cast members, many of whom get about a line of dialogue a month.

However, this time it feels like the characters are in and out a little too fast and don’t hit any strong jokes.

Will Forte steps out for his monologue looking a little like Mitt Romney.

He bitterly comments he is one of the last major cast members from his era to host the show.

(“It was really fun to see Kristen host, then Bill, then Andy, then Fred, then Kristen again, then Bill again …”) He’s interrupted by Kristen Wiig, who, after getting a raucous applause, is asked by Will to leave.

MacGruber returns in a three-part series about coronavirus conspiracy theories, alongside Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe.

In an episode where Will Forte reprises MacGruber and Clancy T, the best return goes to Bowen as the hilarious Chen Biao on “Weekend Update.” Going at China is gutsy, especially with NBC broadcasting the Winter Olympics.

Kristen is one of the best cast members of all time, and the commitment and weirdness she and Will bring to their characters feel very out of place in this era of SNL.

I can’t imagine any current cast member being allowed to do characters like these now.

Usually, it’s a good thing when SNL flies by, but this time it felt like many of the sketches never really moved past their first joke.

The MVP goes to Will Forte, and it’s really just for being there.

Something is frankly weird about cast members having a hilarious episode, as Chris Redd did last week, and then being completely gone the next.

How can we find the next Kristen and Will if the only people allowed to do really fun stuff this episode are … Kristen and Will.

I personally think she still elevates SNL, but it’s almost like when she’s in a sketch, everybody else has to clear out of the way.
