Just a thought.Ī hologram of Tina Fey dropped by for the assist during her monologue, and to appropriately acknowledge/mourn the loss of Carrie Fisher. On the flip, she may be too good of an actress “SNL” can be so cartoonish, we’re used to going “look at X person playing this part!” instead of appreciating the character itself.

The fact that she’s not an American tabloid fixture (or object of fascination) should work in her favor. And the truth is, she was a fine host she had enough energy, she kept it together in the weirder sketches, and has an oddly good robot voice in her back pocket. ![]() But who IS she?
