Jim Carrey returns to Studio 8H to host Saturday Night Live's 40th season with musical guest Iggy Azalea on Episode 4. Carrey, famous for his hilariously over-the-top comedic style, is sure to bring plenty of laughs to the iconic sketch show.

Opening with a nod to Daylight Savings Time, the cold open features cast members trying to figure out when to set their clocks back. Soon, news anchor Cecily Strong jumps in with a special report on the Ebola outbreak, setting the tone for a politically charged episode.

Jim Carrey's opening monologue is a riotous trip down memory lane - he's been a guest on SNL a whopping 3 times, and he's holding nothing back with his latest hosting gig. He gives the audience a glimpse of his trademark impressions (including an uncanny Matthew McConaughey), before breaking out into a silly song and dance.

The sketches in this episode range from clever parodies to raunchy gags. One standout sketch features Carrey as a bodybuilder getting ready for a competition, but instead of using steroids, he's pumping himself full of something entirely unexpected. Another sketch sees the return of the lovable character "Drunk Uncle," played by Bobby Moynihan, riffing on current events and making us all laugh with his garbled musings.

Iggy Azalea brings her brand of fierce energy to the musical performances, starting with a high-energy rendition of "Black Widow." Her second song, "Beg For It," is equally dynamic and leaves the audience pumped up and ready for more.

The Weekend Update segment features a hilarious commentary on recent political events, including President Obama's controversial executive orders on immigration. Cast members Michael Che and Colin Jost take turns lampooning current events, with jokes that range from the absurd to the cuttingly satirical.

One sketch, titled "Halloween Party," features a cast of characters dressed in ridiculous costumes carousing at a party. The highlight of the sketch is undoubtedly Carrey's hilarious turn as a walking, talking emoji.

Another sketch skewers the reality TV show "The Real Housewives," featuring Carrey as a flamboyant househusband alongside his equally ridiculous "housewife" co-stars. The sketch is a clever parody of the show's over-the-top drama and ridiculous cast members.

Overall, Jim Carrey and Iggy Azalea make for a winning combination on this episode of Saturday Night Live. The sketches are hilarious, the musical performances are energetic, and the political commentary is sharp. Fans of the show will be thrilled with this episode's offerings, and newcomers will be introduced to the unique and irreverent humor that has made SNL a cultural icon.
