It’s been an unexpectedly great year for Saturday Night Live, the late-night variety show that, well…occasionally falters just when you need it to hit one out of the park. Over the past few years, an increasingly diverse cast has breathed new life into the show, and all that energy found its focus in Season 47—amid a pandemic, no less!
Below, find the very best that SNL had to offer this season, from an A+ Kim Kardashian monologue to the rise (and rise) of Bowen Yang:
Bowen Yang as “The Iceberg That Sank the Titanic”

Has SNL been this funny since the days of Will Ferrell? Arguably…no.
Bowen Yang as Fran Lebowitz

Yes, that’s right…it’s another Bowen Yang sketch. Call me biased, but he’s the GOAT (of the current season, at least). His embodiment of Lebowitz was particularly brilliant, although the woman herself was, naturally, unimpressed with the sketch, telling Andy Cohen, “I don’t have any curiosity to see this.” Whatever: Yang loved it.
Sarah Sherman Roasting Colin Jost on “Weekend Update”

Sherman may be a new addition to the SNL cast, but her line “I’m out here looking like Chucky went to Sarah Lawrence” will echo through my head for all eternity.
Kim Kardashian’s Opening Monologue

I was as surprised as anyone, but Kim K. really brought it, getting in some fire jabs at ex-husband Kanye West and generally acquitting herself beautifully. Cheers all around!
Cecily Strong as Goober the Clown on Abortion
Content
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
You read that right: This is a sketch in which a clown discusses having an abortion, and somehow, it was one of the more thoughtful and well-executed political sketches in SNL history.
Man Park
Content
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
As a person with “friends with boyfriends in their late-20s and early 30s whom I have no idea how to entertain” experience, this sketch—which essentially features a dog park where adult men can socialize without continually annoying their partners—hit too close to home.
Hard Seltzer
Content
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
This sketch, from the comedy trio behind Please Don’t Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, if you’re curious), perfectly lampoons the culture’s sudden obsession with alcoholic seltzer. (One notable line: “I’m sippin’ on belts and ties.”)
