In the 12th episode of Saturday Night Live's 44th season, James Mcavoy takes the stage as the host in what promises to be a hilarious episode. Mcavoy, known for his roles in movies like X-Men and Split, proves he has comedic chops as he tackles a variety of sketches and characters.

Joining Mcavoy is Meek Mill, who serves as the musical guest for the night. Meek Mill, a popular rapper and activist, brings his signature sound to the show with electrifying performances of his hit songs.

The show kicks off with a cold open sketch featuring Alec Baldwin as President Donald Trump. This time, Trump is facing off against the leaders of other countries as they try to solve the world's problems together. The sketch is full of zingers and jokes at the expense of the real-life politicians, setting the tone for the rest of the episode.

James Mcavoy's monologue follows, and he immediately showcases his comedic abilities with a hilarious bit about his Scottish accent and the difficulties it presents in America. Mcavoy goes on to joke about his roles in blockbuster movies, poking fun at his own image and reputation in Hollywood.

The first sketch of the night features a group of friends trying to plan a surprise party for one of their own. However, the plans quickly spiral out of control as each person brings their own chaos to the table. The sketch is a funny take on the frustration that can come with trying to organize a group event.

Another standout sketch involves a parody of the hit Netflix show, You. In the sketch, Pete Davidson plays the main character, a stalker who is obsessed with his love interest, played by Cecily Strong. The sketch perfectly captures the creepy nature of the show while still managing to be funny.

Meek Mill's performances throughout the night are electrifying. The rapper brings his energy and passion to the stage, performing some of his biggest hits to the delight of the audience.

As always, the Weekend Update segment shines with Colin Jost and Michael Che delivering their trademark witty commentary on current events. Topics like the government shutdown and the controversy surrounding the Super Bowl halftime show are tackled, with the hosts delivering sharp jokes and critiques.

Overall, the episode is a great example of the classic Saturday Night Live formula: great hosts, hilarious sketches, and memorable performances.
