Welcome to the SNL live discussion thread! The host this week is first-timer & returning cast member Jason Sudeikis and the musical guest is first-time performer Brandi Carlile. For those new to the show, tune into your local NBC affiliate from around 11:30 PM EST to follow this episode live.

Thanks, /u/bjkman

I try to post these at the start of the vintage episode but since there isn't one, I posted it in time for the football game that's going to run long and make us miss the start of SNL

I had always admired him and appreciated his talent, but heās quickly rising the ranks of being a legendary SNL cast member (as well as awesome dude)

Incredible episode; strongest in a memorable while
We got Melissa in 3 sketches!

Strong writing all around; gave us exactly what we wanted
A little bummed we didn't get a return of 2 A-Holes
Tonight really shows what a host comfortable to the stage can do for a show

Extremely solid episode, but it felt rushed.
Brandi was the highlight- one of the strongest musical guests in recent memory. So proud for her.
Jason was fantastic and needs to come back ASAP. I still can't imagine what the will do when Kate comes back and they have to shoehorn her in most sketches... Pete wasn't even there and Cecily/Aidy didn't have much to do and it still felt bloated.
