Little too young to remember Jan Hooks well. Plus, as I have heard reported, she didn't stay around so long. I know a lot of the original cast members from clips and specials and stuff (and even some SCTV) but never ran into her work a lot.
As far as last nights episode, it was fantastic. Many solid sketches, was in tears for a few of them. Of course one would have to enjoy Haders characters, but they brought back the best ones. Always liked the old newscaster and the puppet guy, and of course Stefan. I thought the celebrity game was also very good.
As for Hozier, I was extremely disappointed. I thought with so many different instruments there would be a much larger, fuller sound. But it just focused on his vocals really, which there are a near infinite number of bands with that singing style right now. At times watching the keyboardist, or cellist, or drummer you could watch them play one note or one chord or one simple tune over and over again. Don't know why they were even there. Blech!
