Watch The Most Notable Moments Of Tina Fey And Amy Poehler's Saturday Night Live Co-Hosting Gig
Are two heads better than one?
Sharpest Political Satire
You don't get Amy Poehler and Tina Fey back to SNL and not have them do the impressions that made them so inescapable in the fall of 2008. What's that? Sarah Palin isn't really a political figure anymore? QUIET, YOU. My favourite thing about this was seeing the subtle differences between Poehler's interpretation of Hillary Clinton and Kate McKinnon's; both are recognizably her, but they definitely are distinct.

Second-Sharpest Political Satire
This GOP debate sketch is kind of eh until the visual gag at the end. But are they just going to keep making the new guy "play" various CNN anchors without having him, I don't know, act?
Hardest Stab At Most Deserving Target
Speaking of sketches that sort of meander until the end makes them unmissable: this one.
Kenan Thompson has mostly been pretty quiet about Dr. Cosby since all the reports about him started coming out; I would have loved to see the backstage conversation in which Poehler and Fey talked him into this one.
Most Feminist Sketch
I kind of hoped this "Bad Blood" spoof would be more about the nannies and other support people who help powerful working women...you know, work. But this is still solid.
Most Misandrist Sketch
heeeeeeeee hee hee, "Meet Your Second Wife." YES.
Happiest Reunion
They could have made Maya Rudolph a third co-host and I think we all would have been fine with it. Look: "Bronx Beat"!
Least Chill
Vanessa Bayer, over the closing credits, rocking out to "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" with Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band and not even coming CLOSE to clapping to the beat in her total glee. It's not available as a standalone clip, but fire up the full episode on Hulu and scroll to the end. I promise it's worth it.
