I'm not sure why people had high expectations for Louis as host.

He's a good stand-up, but he's not a great performer. Every acting role I've ever seen him in is just himself wearing a different costume, and SNL played to that.

The monologue worked because it was basically Louis doing five minutes of stand-up. "Lincoln" worked because it was basically "what if 'Louie' was 'Lincoln'?"
