A “Saturday Night Live” season that was more abrupt than intended and still more generous than it had to be came to a bittersweet end this weekend.
Cut short by the coronavirus pandemic, “S.N.L.” could have called it quits after its last live episode in March, but instead the show found innovative ways to persevere and play on through circumstances that seemed antithetical to the creation of sketch comedy. You rooted for it to work as much as you hoped that “S.N.L.” never has to do it again.
This weekend’s episode, the season’s third at-home production, began with an honest-to-goodness cold open sketch: an online high-school graduation ceremony for a school called Mary Magdalene by the Expressway, whose principal (Kate McKinnon) has informed her students that they’ve been refused by most of their preferred keynote speakers, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Axl Rose, murder hornets and Elon Musk and Grimes’s baby.
