‘SNL’ host Sydney Sweeney hits on Air Bud, becomes Hooter’s Harry Potter
The ‘Anyone But You’ star delivered a harmless episode of ‘SNL’ while Ego Nwodim had a big night.
Sometimes an episode of Saturday Night Live is just an episode of Saturday Night Live. They’re not all hall-of-fame episodes like when Adam Driver hosted at the end of last year. They’re not all steeped in controversy like when Shane Gillis hosted last week. Many episodes of SNL come and go, hopefully earning a few laughs in the process.
Sydney Sweeney’s episode last night was that kind of episode.
As hosts go, she did a good job. She never seemed lost or rattled by the task of a live show (even if that meant keeping a straight face opposite of a dog eating a sandwich) and never appeared to be glued to the cue cards. (I’m not asking hosts to memorize their lines like Driver, but we saw last week that the cue cards can be challenging.)
