This is going to suck. Chastain looks good and can act, but she has no star power or charisma to bring to the show or inspire any sketches. $10 says she "shows off her lighter side" with a musical monologue.

She has incredible charisma what are you talking about? Have you ever seen her on a talk show she's fantastic.

Will SNL have the same amount of episodes this season with the Winter Olympics or will they have less two or three week breaks in March-May?

She was strong as the lead and the movie was good because of her.
Anyway, I try to watch SNL but this season might be the first time I just don't care anymore.
There's no one on this show that matters. Maybe only the news segment but man it's just so bland and unimportant.

I do however watch specific clips from that week if they sound funny or pop up in my Facebook feed.
Label me a heretic if you must.

Chastain is a great actress and has a great onscreen persona. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it'll translate well to SNL - a live performance of comedic skits is a totally different beast than acting in films.

While the episode was hit and miss, Chastain was great.
She had a lot of energy, didn't have her eyes glued to the teleprompter and had excellent delivery of her lines. And it doesn't hurt that she's nice to look at too.
Need more hosts like her.
EDIT: Never heard of the musical guest, but I thought he was brutal - especially the first song.

Yeah, she seemed like she was actually excited to be hosting.

Why does it matter if the lead role is played be a "movie star"?

A movie star, by virtue of their charisma and the enormity of their persona, draws a viewer into their character's story and immediately places the viewer on their side. An actor's star quality adds a compelling aspect to the movie-watching experience that goes beyond what is literally being presented on the screen. This is especially valuable when your movie has the lead in every scene, and doing voice-over, and the scenes are dialogue-heavy.
I prefer a character actor even in the lead role. I find they don't bring that star baggage with them to the role.
And back to your earlier point. Jessica Chastain is a wonderful actress and can play the lead as well as a supporting character with the best of them.

If there’s one thing I can say about this episode, it’s that it inspired a truly pointless argument about who is/isn’t a movie star.

I actually liked the episode. Well I liked it before I read this thread and realized she isn't a movie star. But I thought the skits were more hit than miss for once.

The ep was ok. Didn't hate it. and yeah, Chastain did a great job.
They should get more CHARACTER ACTORS to host this show....

That gameshow one was pretty good, down to the meta references and Keenan being in character. The best was the final question, "write down things that you think would matter."
That Fresh Prince bit was pretty funny as well.

Like all SNL skits the, Fresh Prince one went on way to long. Whatever funny, original idea they had in the first couple verses was ruined by the following four.
And that musical act was fucking terrible.

I thought the Fresh Prince thing was the highlight... a little long, but the payoff was great.

Yeah, it was long, but unlike 90% of their skits it had an actual ending, so I'll forgive it.
