Theres a reason why everyone gets so excited whenSNLstarts back up again during an election year.
And boy, is this race a weird one.

Margot Robbie monologue
Also, Margot Robbie made herSNLdebut this episode!
It was kind of uncomfortable.
Cmon,SNL.You had all summer.
Celebrity Family Feud
Kenan Thompson, who is now entering his 14th season (!)
She aint afraid of no trolls.
(Michael ChesPokemon Goparody, an attempt to find minorities at the RNC, was a particular highlight).
(Jost: I just want to point out that James Brown died of pneumonia.
Che: If [Clinton] actually had black friends, she wouldve knew that.)
The show should take advantage of that.
They also brought back my favorite dumb joke from last year: The Weeknd Update.
