The 47th season of Saturday Night Live proved one of the most important in recent memory. Not only did it feature the largest cast in the show’s history, it also introduced a number of promising new talents who we can expect to rise to prominence over the coming years. This past week’s finale also featured farewell performances from several of the show’s biggest names: Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney.
As a whole, it was not one of the stronger seasons. After a lukewarm start, we got a few good episodes in the middle of its run, but the back half of the season vacillated between instantly forgettable and outright terrible.
