The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Ronda Rousey

Share:

MMA champion Ronda Rousey takes the Studio 8H stage with musical guest Selena Gomez. Rousey was charming enough, but we’re all biding our time until bae Larry David hosts on February 6. Still, the gang kept it together for the most part, commenting on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy multiple times. Tina Fey makes an appearance as you know who, and the great Leslie Jones is back at the “Weekend Update” desk. See how it all went down last night, below.

The Best

Love Struck

Rousey plays the picked-on student who fights back, literally.

Bland Man

A poke at The Bachelor and all its awfulness. The realest joke: “Tell me about you.” “Well, I’m the black one.” “Let me walk you out.”

The Worst

Teacher Trial With Ronda Rousey

The “lucky” teenager who had sex with his teacher(s) sketch is now a series? Meh.

Super Crew

The lamest superheroes in the world need you to wait for them to save your city, because they all want a proper introduction. Nothing too terrible, but lame payoff.
