In Saturday Night Live season 39 episode 8, all eyes are on Josh Hutcherson, the leading man of the Hunger Games franchise who is set to host the show for the first time. With his boyish charm and quick wit, Hutcherson is sure to leave a lasting impression on the audience and the cast alike.
Joining Hutcherson as musical guests are the three sisters of HAIM, who have been making waves in the music industry with their unique blend of rock, pop, and R&B. Their infectious energy and catchy tunes are sure to get the crowd on their feet and singing along.
As always, the episode kicks off with the cold open, which this time features a political sketch that takes aim at the current state of affairs in Washington D.C. From there, we move on to the monologue, where Hutcherson shows off his comedic chops by poking fun at himself and his previous work.
Throughout the show, Hutcherson appears in a variety of sketches, some of which are recurring favorites and others which are brand new. One standout sketch involves Hutcherson playing a member of a family of robots who are struggling to blend in with humans. Another sees him starring as a member of a boy band that is past its prime, but still trying to make a comeback.
Of course, no episode of SNL would be complete without the beloved Weekend Update segment, which is hosted by the always-hilarious Seth Meyers. This time around, Meyers is joined by a special guest who adds some extra comic relief to the already-funny segment.
Later in the show, HAIM takes the stage to perform two of their hit songs, showcasing their impressive musical talent and dynamic stage presence. The trio's performance leaves the audience wanting more, and it's clear that they are a band to watch in the coming years.
As the evening draws to a close, the cast and crew bid farewell to Hutcherson and HAIM, thanking them for their fantastic performances and wishing them all the best in their future endeavors. All in all, it's a night of laughter, music, and entertainment that viewers won't soon forget.
