Saturday Night Live Season-Premiere Recap: Bad Bunny Is The Ultimate Sweetie
Beyond the established names, some new writers are really shining. Jack Bensinger, Maddie Wiener, Rachel Pegram, Jo Sunday, and Claire McFadden are all incredibly funny. I’ve been a fan of Bensinger’s quirky humor, Wiener’s sharp wit, and McFadden’s sketches for almost ten years, back when they were all working in Chicago. Sunday brings a captivating, offbeat energy, and Pegram excels both on stage and on the page. I’m not familiar with the two new hires from The Lampoon, but I’m optimistic. If the show embraces their fresh, alternative perspectives, this season has the potential to be excellent.
