Watch The Most Notable Moments Of Adam Driver's Saturday Night Live Hosting Début
Did he manage okay without his mask?!
Best Movie Parody
You knew they were going to have to do a sketch on The Force Awakens. But I, for one, was not expecting an Undercover Boss mashup, complete with a star who's awkward and stiff in his THes.
Shout-out to friend of the site Dan Kois, who also treated this seat of evil as a challenging workplace last month in "Starkiller Base: The Contractor Memos."
Second-Best Movie Parody
I was really into where this was going with the football-playing patient's Big Thighs. Get that dumb kid out of there!!!
Distant Third Best Movie Parody
Turns out riding on a magic carpet has more hazards than the movie Aladdin would have you believe.
Driver's a bit pitchy in this sketch but you can still tell he can sing. Someone put him in a musical! (No, Lena Dunham, that is not a request for a musical episode of Girls.)
Best Exploration Of An Award Show Cliché
"You heard Mom. We have to go to bed."
(Now that you've watched, I assume you'll agree that this one also qualifies as Best Surprise Cameo.)
Least Ending
Was someone standing in the doorway waiting for pages on this one? Even for an SNL sketch, this one lands with a clunk.
Most Promising Junior Journalist
Vanessa Bayer's precocious child star gets me every time.
Most Cruelly Shortened David Bowie Performance
In the episode as broadcast, Fred Armisen appeared to introduce this 1979 performance of "The Man Who Sold The World," only for it to trail off after the first chorus. Here it is in its entirety.

For even more, you can got to the official SNL site, which has put up clips of all Bowie's appearances on the show.
