I can't see him being great as a host. I've seen his past shows but can't remember a thing about them.

Throwing Copper

Really looking forward to this. Always enjoy Keaton.

TGM

Love Michael Keaton.

Hoping for a Gung Ho sketch!

astrochimp

Daryl!

Best skit of the night was the one Keaton didn't do, the taped Neurotology bit. He could've played "RLH", instead of Moynihan, but i guess there was no time. Overall the show was okay. Couple of really good jokes in the Weekend Update, surprisingly. Liked the last skit with the Easter basket. Musical guest, have no idea who that was but it didn't make my ears hurt. Some really bizarre bits. Still love Keaton though.

Seems a lot of people are upset over the CNN sketch. People saying it makes light of the recent plane crash, disrespects those who died.

I reallly reallly really like this episode.

The Easter sketch with Keaton in the end was funny and Weekend Update had some good laughs.

Jebidiah Atkinson might be the new Stefon.

Matthew Chmiel

You could tell between the last two episodes that the writers have just gone off the deep end after the backlash from the ISIS sketch... and The Rock and Keaton's episodes have been the best two episodes of the season yet.

tommyp007

Yes!

kefrank

Jebidiah cracks me up every time.

I found most of the ep lackluster, but did enjoy the WU.

Mr. Cinema

These 2 have been, by far, the strongest episodes. It's rare we get 2 good ones back to back. I especially liked the Keaton show because they didn't use certain unfunny cast members that I despise.

Loved Jebediah from the start, and he's consistently been funny. He's one of , if not the, only recurring characters that I actually look forward to seeing.
