“Saturday Night Live” wasn’t perfect last night. But it did have a couple of outstanding moments.
Kate McKinnon hosted, and her monologue was charming. She also had her pals, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph, joining in.
Then there was musical guest Billie Eilish. She sang her haunting “Barbie” song, “What Was I Made For,” with brother Finneas on piano.
But Billie’s outstanding moment was really singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” just beautifully. She “really” sang it, not just whispered it, and showed off a potential Voice with a capital V.
“SNL” can be very frustrating. Why didn’t Kate play Rudy Giuliani? It was a missed opportunity. And the cold open was a mystery.
