I'd suggest going straight to YouTube for the choice funny bits from Chloe Fineman, Kate McKinnon, Chris Redd, et al., but skip the musical 'talent'.
I honestly sat with my jaw agape, wondering what on Earth I was witnessing with Charli XCX and the lip-sync vocals, canned backing tracks, with a mix of burlesque and strip club dancing, re-hashed, over-produced grooves, stale choreography, and vapid song lyrics, behind yet another industry-hype, propped-up gyrating sex doll. This schtick was passé with Cardi B's WAP five years ago.
Standout performances by host Oscar Isaac, and the rest of the regular cast.
I just don't understand the production and marketing team's choice of 'booty show' with the musical guest. It painfully set feminism back to the drawing board, and left me wondering how fast I could reach for the remote control to hit the fast-forward button. However, I ended up sitting through it, if only as a grim reminder of what 'sex sells' looks like.
