Unsurprisingly, Kate McKinnon was the lead.

SNL’s 41st season had been fairly decent -sans 98% of the Donald Trump/ Sia episode. And with SNL royalty Tina Fey and Amy Poehler joint hosting on December 19th, the very solid Ryan Gosling episode this past Saturday may prove to signify an upswing to bring in the new year. Despite -or perhaps partially due to- Ryan Gosling breaking on nearly every sketch, this was the best overall episode of the season and the sketch below was the highlight of the night. All hail Kate McKinnon.
