The audience was really flat and there were a lot of awkward moments in the show where it was almost like the show was too live and un-rehearsed.
There were some moments of raw brilliance, Steve Martin, Maya, Martin Short were brilliant in their bits. The weekend update was nice to see as well.
In terms of musical guests. I actually really liked what Miley did, her voice was made for that kind of song. Kanye West was garbage.
It just seems like the modern skits that they tried to slid in were awful, Le California was brutal, and Kristen Wig and whats his face in the audience was wildly terrible.
The Jeopardy skit was very good.
If there was one thing that this special showed is that this show probably shouldn't have made it 40 years.
Hopefully they can now give the show a dignified death at the end of the year.
