I don't know if anyone is keeping track, but it seems like they're doing fewer, longer sketches this year. I assume that's a COVID thing to minimize the number of set and costume changes required in each episode.
If that is happening, it has two downsides: If it's a weak sketch, it just becomes a long, weak sketch; and even if it's a good sketch, there's only so many ways to tell the same joke before it starts becoming repetitive, which will make even a good sketch seem bad.
