Best show of the season?
'SNL' Scorecard: Samuel L. Jackson Calls 'Bull####' On Martin Short's Show

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-r...b_2311527.html

"Saturday Night Live" had the difficult task of airing one day after one of the worst mass shootings in the history of the United States -- a shooting that occurred a mere 75 miles from 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It was never specifically mentioned, but it presided over the night after a haunting (considering the circumstances) children's choir rendition of "Silent Night" as the cold open. Martin Short, after a 16-year hiatus -- in what is surprisingly only his second time as sole host (not counting the time he co-hosted with Chevy Chase and Steve Martin) -- sank a ton of effort into his duties and almost made this feel like the joyous holiday show that it should have been. Almost. Also: Samuel L. Jackson cussed.

Average Score for this Show: 6.28
· Martin Short 6.28
· Christina Applegate 6.13
· Seth MacFarlane 5.93
· Louis C.K. 5.92
· Anne Hathaway 5.87
· Bruno Mars 5.81
· Joseph Gordon-Levitt 5.51
· Jamie Foxx 5.43
· Jeremy Renner 5.39
· Daniel Craig 5.35
