List of episodes

The forty-seventh season of the NBC comedy series Saturday Night Live premiered on October 2, 2021, during the 2021–22 television season with host Owen Wilson and musical guest Kacey Musgraves.[1][2] For the first time, the season's first five episodes and the remainder from episode ten onward were live streamed on the streaming service Peacock in addition to its coast-to-coast live television broadcast.[3][4]

Cast[]

Prior to the start of the season, Beck Bennett and Lauren Holt had both left the show, though the rest of the cast from the previous season was retained. Three new featured players were added: comedic actor and filmmaker Aristotle Athari, impressionist and actor James Austin Johnson, and surrealist comedian Sarah Sherman.[5] Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang, who were hired as featured players in season 45, were promoted to repertory status this season while Andrew Dismukes and Punkie Johnson remain as featured players.[6]

Kate McKinnon did not appear in the first seven episodes of the season, as she was filming Joe vs. Carole.[7] Cecily Strong was absent from the first three episodes of 2022 due to her appearances on Off-Broadway revival of one-woman play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.[8] Pete Davidson was absent starting from the thirteenth episode, due to filming the movie The Home.[9]

Don Roy King, who has directed the show since its 32nd season, retired after the ninth episode, hosted by Paul Rudd. He was succeeded by Liz Patrick, a longtime director of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[10]

Reception[]

In January 2022, Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe wrote that he was "surprised with the mediocrity" of the season, suggesting that individual cast members did not have opportunities to stand out; he cited the high number of players compared to past seasons, the periodic absence of some cast members due to other commitments, and regular use of guest stars and cameo appearances in sketches as possible reasons.[46]

Conversely, Michael Boyle of Slate praised the season's filmed sketches featuring the Please Don't Destroy troupe, writing, "The basic character dynamics should be familiar to anyone who’s watched SNL before, but they’re done with an efficiency that puts the rest of the show to shame."[47]

New cast member James Austin Johnson and his impression of former U.S. President Donald Trump, which debuted on the show this season, received a positive reception from critics. Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club wrote, "Johnson's Trump is as exact as advertised, and his Trump's discursively narcissistic screed is more comically illuminating than four full years of Alec Baldwin making funny Trump faces."[48] Dan Spinelli of Mother Jones lauded the accuracy of Johnson's impression, writing, "Close your eyes and you'll think new cast member James Austin Johnson is the real thing. He nails the preening self-regard, the incessant need for attention, and the way Trump wields 'excuse me' almost as a verbal saber."[49] Gilbert, however, criticized Johnson's impression of President Joe Biden and opined it was not as good as his version of Trump.[46]
