Hi all – it’s your good palSNL in Review. Welcome to Saturday night! (Or, perhaps more likely, your Sunday morning recap.)
Colman Domingois this week’s host. I am joined tonight by the always eloquent gentleman and formerSaturday Night Livecast member Gary Kroeger. He reports he first became familiar with Domingo's game during his time on "The Big Gay Sketch Show, but maybeFear the Walking Dead, orEuphoria." He adds, "It seems that it's been 15 or more years that I've been watching him and admiring his commanding presence. He's one of those actors who seems like they've been around even before they've been around. There was no learning curve, he was justtherewith gravitas as if he'd been doing Shakespeare since Shakespeare. I love thatSNLis finally getting around to having a host with some years on the planet. He's a grown-up. That will be refreshing."
Well put. Too often, the modern iteration of the show is seemingly chasing the fountain of youth, or the ultra-online cohort. (Rewatching older episodes, you can tell they used to actually cultivate, you know, adults.)

Savvy comedy fans will recall none other than Kate McKinnon cut her teeth onThe Big Gay Sketch Show.Good company. Domingo has two Oscar nominations under his belt, but deep down, he’s just like us, Conehead Nation: another comedy nerd! Here’s anotherSNLbona fide for Domingo: he's stars on Tina Fey's Netflix seriesThe Four Seasons.
Scroll down for more! (I really hope the show resists an Uma-Oprah-style pun with tonight’s host and…Domingo. That’d be super lame!)
