Review: Saturday Night Live
“Saturday Night Live” premiered its 38th season with voice actor and director Seth MacFarlane as the host. The premiere brought viral video star Psy, best known for “Gangnam Style,” and Bill Hader bringing back his impression of Clint Eastwood. The show kicked off with MacFarlane showing off his various voices from “Family Guy,” “American Dad” and others. Cast members Jay Pharoah and Jason Sudeikis ramped up the political humor with life-like impressions of presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Musical guest Frank Ocean brought down the rhythm of the episode, but his video arcade, themed stage and accompaniment by John Mayer gave the performances a nice vibe. Even with the absence of standout cast members Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, the episode brings all the aspects that true SNL fans desire.
