One of the more prominent skits of the night was a stab at Clint Eastwood’s speech from the Republican National Convention.
MacFarlane resorted to the overused monologue go-to of singing, but provided a fresh take with the use of his impressive repertoire of celebrity impersonations, including a surprisingly good Kermit the Frog.

In case any viewers forgot how MacFarlane made his career, he made sure to remind them in his monologue, acting out a one-person conversation with various voices from his animated TV show, “Family Guy.” Although Pharaoh’s interpretation of Obama is slightly more exaggerated than Armisen’s subdued version, it is nonetheless entertaining. In the skit, Mitt Romney was depicted as the goofy idiot to Obama’s cool composure. The signature opening political sketch featured Jay Pharaoh as President Barack Obama, a role previously filled by Fred Armisen. With the upcoming presidential election, the show had plenty of content for its political sketches. With the new season came new cast members Aidy Bryant, Tim Robinson and Cecily Strong, all of whom fared well in the little airtime they received. Although these SNL alums will be missed, long-time cast members, like Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis, are still around to fill their absences. Proving itself once again as the show that seems to never lose relevance in pop culture, SNL pulled off another successful season premiere.Īfter the previous season left fans saying a tearful goodbye to Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Abby Elliot, many were left wondering how such a major shift in the lineup would affect the show. “Family Guy” creator and voice actor Seth MacFarlane hosted the season premiere episode along with rising R&B singer songwriter Frank Ocean as the musical guest. Saturday Night Live is back for its 38th season.
That’s right, folks, it’s that time of year once again.
