Keke Palmer just hosted the best episode of Saturday Night Live Season 48 (so far)

Keke Palmer just made one of the best "SNL" hosting debuts we've seen in a long time. Sure, she might be a little over the top, but that kind of stuff works in sketch comedy, especially on "SNL." They're not exactly in the business of frequently creating subtle comedies. Palmer never really felt like reading cue cards, when she fumbled for a line now and then, she didn't let it interrupt her flow and she maintained her enthusiastic energy throughout. spectacle. This monologue featuring her official pregnancy reveal was also stellar, not to mention the fact that they were able to incorporate it into a sketch. Is this the first time a host has been significantly

There are hosts like Adam Driver who are good at sketch comedy because they go all out as an actor, and while Keke Palmer is an established actress in her own right, she approaches the comedy in a very different way, and it worked like gangbusters here. Palmer even showed off his musical talents, both rapping in the "Big Boys" skit and showing off some serious pipes in the "Choir Practice" skit. Hopefully Lorne Michaels brings her back in the future, as we might be looking at a host with Justin Timberlake-level potential here.
