Saturday Night Live (SNL) returned for its much-anticipated 50th season premiere, and who better to kick off this milestone than the incredibly talented Jean Smart? Making her debut as the SNL host, Smart brought her sharp comedic skills and undeniable charm to the iconic Studio 8H stage, instantly winning over both the live audience and those tuning in at home. As a seasoned performer with a career spanning decades, including multiple Emmy wins for her role in Hacks , Smart's presence felt not only like a celebration of her own career but also a perfect match for SNL’s history-making moment.
The cold open of the episode, as always, took a satirical approach to the world of politics, with familiar faces like Maya Rudolph reprising her portrayal of Vice President Kamala Harris and Andy Samberg stepping in as Doug Emhoff. The skit poked fun at the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, and it certainly didn’t hold back on the laughs, even incorporating a hilarious depiction of Donald Trump by cast member James Austin Johnson. Yet, despite the usual political jabs and chaos, the spotlight soon shifted to Jean Smart, whose comedic timing and effortless humor took center stage.
From her witty monologue to her seamless participation in various sketches, Smart reminded viewers why she's one of television’s most beloved actresses. This is no surprise, considering she’s recently claimed her sixth Emmy award. But her hosting duties weren’t all; the episode also featured musical guest Jelly Roll, who delivered an emotionally charged performance, balancing the evening’s comedy with soulful tunes.
As SNL embarks on its 50th season, Smart’s inaugural hosting stint set a high bar, with fans already buzzing about what's to come. This episode was not only a showcase of Smart’s incredible versatility but a tribute to SNL’s enduring legacy in American television.
