First-time host walton goggins has been steadily work for the past three decades, but his roles this year in The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones Have Taken Him from “Character Actor” to “Walton Goggins.” He’s Reached the Level of Fame Where If You Haven’t Seen White LotusYou Still Know Him from the Memes-Which Made with Wonder if there is another “White Potus” sketch this Week (Thankfully, No) or if any of the Aimee Lou Wood Non-Drama be acknowledged (Also thankfully, No).

Goggins’ monologue was short and sweet, kicking off with HIM Talking About How Being A Newly Anointed Sex Means Headlines that came in the form of backhanded compliments. (“Hollywood’s Newest Heartthrob is a GREASY, DEPRESSZING LITTLE MAN WHOM NO ONE SAW COMING.”) IT’S TRUE, he is At a point in his career where people are interested in enable to enable clickbait Like, “Walton Goggins’ Net Worlds Perfect for His Quirky Career.” (And, yeah, I clicked on it as “research” for this intro. Savar that ad revenue, Men’s Journal …) And it works he is funny, charming, and the right amount of self-deprecating. HIS MOM CAME UP ONSTAGE AND THEY DAND. Cute!

It felt like hi Episodes, which was a relief consideing a few episodes this season has Barely utilized the host. Goggins played to his his strengths as a horni server at a mother’s day brunch, a gripy-suuve Guy named simply “matt” goading the founding to create The Second Amendmentand a squatty potty user, to name a few. Things also veered into weird quite a bit, which is, to me, we are the show the fescitting. Add in Cameos from Cecly Strong (and Colin Jost!) In the Cold Open, As Well As Sam Rockwell in the Jane Wickline -Led “Tiny baby shoe” song, and this made for one of my favorite episodes of the season. Here are the highlights:

Goggins Leans into His New Sex-Symbol Status as a Grimy and Seductive Server Delighting Two Moms (Sarah Sherman and Heidi Gardner) and upsetting their Respective Sons (Mikey Day and Andrew Dismukes). Goggins’ attentiveness to the moms is a fun Conttrast with his completa disinterest in the son (“How’s your Sangria?” nicery things.

This may be an all-timer for me: my favorite genre of comedy is animals doing things they shouldn’t, so a sketch about service do Having to be in the audience of a tennessee-esque play, and not doing it? Put it in the IV drip. Do Rolling Rolling Hisyes, A Dog Checking His Watch, A Dog Holding Peanut M & Ms, a Dog Scanning the Playbill to See Who The Producers are, Dogs Straight-Up… All Things DO NOT, EXCEPT THAT LAST ONE. Goggins Play the Lead Actor in the Play Alongside Gardner, who can’t focus the dogs are clearly not into it. “I’m so sorry,” Explains a Dog Trainer (Michael Longfellow). “PLEASE DON’T BE OFFENDED. THIS IS THEIR FIRST TIME AT A BAD PLAY.”

I Skipped The Chicago Pope Jokes (The Catholic Joke Felt Like Enough) and the R-Word Joke (…), but Other Sharp Bits made up for it, like the Ones About Rosa Parks Underwear and F-18s Falling Into The Ocean. As for this week’s “Update” characters, i loved “Dianne, the mom who’s online reads new York on Facebook, Gives Tourist Tips,” Featuring Heidi Gardner as a wide-eyed suburban mom clutching her bag and teling US “TRUE” CAUTIONARY TALES ABOUT YORD FROM FACEBOOK (AND, YES, GOTTA BE BRINGING UP AROUND SOMEON Gardner Going “White” as an aside (and late, “What was moana?”) Made with Cackle. Same Goes for Mikey Day’s “A GUY WHO JUST WALKED INTO A SpiderWeb on Trump’s Tariffs,” Which was so Physical and Fantic and Such a Silly Idea for a Character. I Mean, Day is Committed: He’s on the Ground, he’s ripping his shirt off, hisyes are searching for Jesus. AFTER WATCHING HIM SPEND THE ENTIR SEGMENT PANICKING ABOUT WHATER’S A SPIDER ON HIM, I FORGOT THE SETUP FOR WHY THERE, WHICH MADE “SHOULD I STOLLK ABOUT TARIFFS?” Really hit as an ending beat.

PARENTS WALTON GOGGINS AND ASHLEY PADILLA TAKE THEIR KIDS TO A HORRROR-Themed Restaurant at an Amusement park that sort of like medieval Times, but for Halloween-Maybe? I haven’t been to medieval Times, but i think about it as a concepttty regularly. They want to hear the backstory of the restaurant so their can really get in the experience, but ther servers, the bowen yang and ego, have really not thught about it past ominously repeating, “It might be your Last.” Yang and nwodim are so funny in this together, especialy when they ‘trying to come with backsory on the spot.

The show started out weird with “tiny baby shoe” (Sarah Sherman). We know dysmukes excuses Himself to go to the Bathroom, he’s Thrown off by the sight of a squatty poty in the couple’s Bathroom and spends the rest of the Evening Over the Idea of ​​His Boss’s Primal Need to Poop. No, i’ve Never Seen Comedy About that, and Yes, I am in favor of more toilet humor on Snl; I liked Visual Jokes Like the Bidet Stream and the Talking Slug.
