Finn Wolfhard Dials Up Charm in a Solid SNL Hosting Debut

Vulture’s recap of SNL’s Season 51 episode hosted by Finn WolfhardOverall the hosting is solid with Wolfhard showing growing comedic chops across sketches (including a Harry Potter spoof and a Stranger Things promo) and a notably strong Weekend Update. Cameos from Sabrina Carpenter and Jason Momoa spice the night, Bowen Yang’s absence is felt but the episode benefits from more screen time for Jeremy Culhane and Veronika Slowikowska. The cold open pokes fun at Trump’s cabinet, and while one finale sketch misses the mark, the show earned a 4-star Editor’s Rating and positions Wolfhard as a capable host stepping out from Stranger Things.
