Molly Shannon's recent return to Saturday Night Live as host left many fans wondering what went wrong. Despite being a former main cast member, her performance fell short, leaving audiences with a lackluster show. The sketch "Valets" was among the weakest, with poorly structured characters and predictable interactions. Another sketch that was expected to excel, "Drug Commercial," relied too heavily on body humor, leaving viewers wishing for more. In addition, the lack of chemistry between Shannon and the current cast members made some regulars feel unimportant.

One of the few highlights of the show was Bowen Yang's Weekend Update commentary, "Jafar on Ron DeSantis' Attacks on Disney," which brought together pop culture and contemporary politics for an irreverent take on DeSantis' recent policies. Fans remain hopeful that upcoming host Ana de Armas will bring new energy and success to the show on April 15th.
