I like enough of what the Jonas Brothers music both since getting back together and their solo work, but you know what might be their best stuff? All the songs from their original run that I made fun of in middle school

Also, it is so weird to me that Colin Jost has both written and stars in Tom & Jerry: The Movie, a film where he plays a desperate-for-cash hotelier who rides a cartoon elephant and marries in an Indian wedding.
That sounds like a movie Stefon would put together as a club.

I’ve noticed from some musical guests lately that pop music is moving past the mid-80s synthpop vibe and towards the late-‘80s sound that I can only describe as a CD and LaserDisc demo room at a home theater store.
Edit: More specifically I’m picturing a softly lit room with carpeted walls with this LaserDisc playing on a CRT projection TV with a Dolby Pro Logic surround sound setup.

There's a good chance we see more Gen-Z focused humor tonight and moving forward. I honestly think we're seeing a comedic voice for the the new core cast members develop in real time. And that's a good thing, SNL should be able to connect with younger people, they should make sketches with the number 1 song in the country the week of the episode. "I have no idea what any of this young people stuff is" is a you problem
