In her opening monologue, Madison reflected on her recent Oscar win and shared personal anecdotes, including stories about her twin brother and performing her own dance stunts in films. She humorously remarked, “Winning an Oscar was a dream come true, but hosting SNL? Now that’s terrifying.”

The episode included a variety of sketches, with Madison taking on multiple roles. One notable sketch was “Acting Teacher 2,” where she portrayed a quirky acting coach. Another highlight was the “Jury Duty” sketch, featuring Madison as an eccentric juror. Despite her efforts, some critics felt that the episode fell flat, citing uninspired performances and lackluster material.

Musical guest Morgan Wallen performed his singles “I’m the Problem” and “Just in Case,” adding a musical flair to the evening. The “Weekend Update” segment addressed recent news and pop culture, maintaining its satirical edge.

Overall, reactions to Madison’s hosting debut were mixed. While some praised her versatility and commitment, others felt that the sketches did not fully capitalize on her talents. As SNL continues its 50th season, upcoming hosts include Jack Black and Jon Hamm, promising more entertainment in the weeks to come.
