Amy Schumer is a rare breed of comedienne that is almost impossible not find funny, much like Melissa McCarthy or Roseanne Barr. In other words, even SNL couldn't make Schumer unfunny last night, which is pretty impressive considering they've made quite a few big stars severely unfunny with stupid sketches and stupid jokes. But considering that Schumer was with Vanessa Bayer and Taran Killam for most of her sketches in last night's episode, it would've been pretty hard to go wrong considering Bayer and Killam are two of the show's strongest actors. (Jeez, how many times did I use the word 'considering' in this paragraph?)
Long story short, Amy Schumer's episode of SNL was the first episode of the show that I've enjoyed in a long time, especially since the season premiere last week with Miley Cyrus was quite disappointing (but that was really no surprise, they've made her unfunny several times before). The last time I remembering enjoying an episode this much was Anna Kendrick's turn as host in the spring of 2014 and before that was Melissa McCarthy's numerous turns as host. It all depends on how funny the host is as an actor. So, SNL, get us some funny people as hosts this season! Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC.
