Kudos to Harry Styles


'Everyone thinks everyone here does cocaine. They don’t! That’s why the show’s no good anymore!'
Harry Styles SNL Monologue


Harry Styles' couldn't have been more on point, especially with the incredibly long and boring  opening impeachment sketch last night.  The singer and actor managed to rise to the occasion regardless.  Saturday Night Live has been hit and miss this season, the hits (host David Habour) have been high, but the lows, (host Kristen Stewart) have been really really low.


The SLN performers although mostly predictable, continue to shine, it's the writing, that usually manage to let them down.  I can't say the writing was especially better on last night' show, but Style's charm, sex appeal and charisma saved most of the sketches he appeared in.   Like that opening bomb of a sketch, whenever Styles wasn't on stage, the show seemed to lack the energy and enthusiasm and an almost 'old Hollywood' dapper and panache, Styles brought as host.


My favorite sketch of the night was the pre-filmed piece featuring Aidy Bryant as Joan.  In the sketch, Joan talks about the lover of her live, her elderly, but affectionate Chihuahua named Doug.  In the latter part of the bit, Doug temporarily turns into human form, and the Doug in both his dog, and human forms, were equally adorable.
