Saturday Night Live: Scarlet Johansson / Wiz Khalifa  Season 40, Episode 19

ScarJo hosts for the fourth time (and first in five years) and proves herself as game as usual, even poking fun at her corporate masters about how maybe it's just as well there hasn't been a Black Widow movie, but the show leans a little heavy on Uncomfortable White Men for the humor.

Saturday Night Live: Taraji P. Henson / Mumford & Sons  Season 40, Episode 18

A show that just felt... off, with a cold open that more or less just said "Kate McKinnon's going to be Hillary, so get used to her", a weird QVC sketch that didn't go anywhere, and two wheel-of-impressions sketches. On the plus side, a pretty strong Weekend Update that shows Colin Jost and Michael Che are comfortable with each other and the guest characters (including a lumpy Billy Crystal).

Saturday Night Live: Michael Keaton/Carly Rae Jepsen  Season 40, Episode 17

Michael Keaton hosts for the first time since 1982 (which is before musical guest Carly Rae Jepsen was born). A few good Easter jokes, Weekend Update finally hitting its stride, and a goofy cameo by Norman Reedus. Fewer sketches that went on for longer and the show ran ... short?

Saturday Night Live: Dwayne Johnson / George Ezra  Season 40, Episode 16

Franchise Viagra takes the reins for the fourth time, busting out "The Rock" Obama, paying tribute to his past with a deeply psychological take on wrestling feuds, and generally being charismatic and game for anything.

Saturday Night Live: Chris Hemsworth / Zac Brown Band  Season 40, Episode 15

A lot of discussion of how dreamy Chris Hemsworth is, a couple of rocking performances by Zac Brown Band, a lively if blooperific Weekend Update, and another goddamn Former Porn Stars sketch give us an essentially "filler" episode this week.

Saturday Night Live: J.K. Simmons & D'Angelo  Season 40, Episode 13

J.K. Simmons turns in an able performance (and many, many wigs), and D'Angelo owns the stage in a fair-to-middling midseason episode.

Saturday Night Live: Blake Shelton  Season 40, Episode 12

Blake Shelton handles himself admirably as host and musical guest, with assistance from a Kate & Aidy musical joint and a surprisingly strong Weekend Update.

Saturday Night Live: Chris Rock/Prince  Season 40, Episode 5

An uninterrupted eight minute set by Prince couldn't compensate for a night of flubbed lines and flat sketches.

Saturday Night Live: Charlize Theron and the Black Keys  Season 39, Episode 20

A perfectly acceptable episode, using Theron well enough and featuring a Weekend Update guest we didn't know we've been waiting for since the 1970s. [more inside]
