On the other hand,SNLwas also fortunate enough to have Lin-Manuel Miranda hosting this week.
Miranda brought his A-game to the show and raised the level of everyone elses performance in the process.
As one might expect from the genius behind two hip-hop-inflected musicals, Miranda rapped most of his opening monologue.

SNLmonologues can sometimes feel uninspired, but Mirandas live theater experience and rap skills made his immediately stand out.
Its a testament to the rest of the episode that such a fun monologue quickly felt overshadowed.
Cecily Strongs CNN anchor matched this physicality by clutching herself each time Baldwins Trump made another ill-advised comment.
Yes, he said that.
His former co-host Tina Fey even came as well.
Kudos toSNLfor not letting Trump dominate every facet of the show theres plenty of other scandals to mock.
