Watched this episode thrice just to be sure I was correct after reading other's positive reviews. The starting with the Ukrainian choir was different and good. I think what happened is SNL was trying something "new" after weeks of doing nothing during the Winter Olympics because most of this episode just seemed "off" compared to several recent episodes that were entertaining. Many of the jokes did not land or missed the mark. Weekend Update was the best segment. The rest made me think "what just happened "? I kind of understood what they were trying to do to be funny and the jokes being referenced to make me laugh, but it felt disconnected as if too many guests and scenes were being crammed in to this episode and it suffered a stroke. Hopefully this episode was just an occasional fluke. I noticed the laugh track seemed over used as if needed to cue viewers that something funny had occurred. Musical guest was painful to watch.
