Apparently all Lorne Michaels needs to do to resurrect the formerly funny SNL is bring Peter Dinklage in as host, because he nearly raised the show back to its former glory with his first appearance.
There was the obligatory Game of Thrones parody in the form of a “sneak peek” of the upcoming season.
Then Peter stripped down to his birthday suit to do a sketch spoofing the Discovery channel show Naked and Afraid.
And finally Peter got to show off his awesome singing voice and get weird with a wig on in the sketch called Mafia Meeting, a sketch in which Peter sings a super catchy song about Space Pants.
Will SNL ever be as badass as it was when Dinklage sat in the driver's seat? It sure will, just as soon as they get Peter to host again!
Modern SNL gets a bad rap. It's funnier than most people give it credit for. Sure, it's hit and miss, but I challenge anyone to sit through a full first- or second-season episode. It's always been hit and miss, and the past few seasons have been far from the worst.
