I can't even begin to count the number of guests on SNL who are so obviously reading off of the cue cards but Adam Driver doesn't. He brings it 100% like a pro. It's obvious that he takes it seriously and he is well prepared for his skits. He prepares for SNL the same way he would prepare for a multi million dollar movie. Respect.

I agree- total respect to those hosts who actually learn their lines! (btw Adam Driver will get an Oscar one day, you heard it here). But, as someone who has been watching SNL since 1975, I remember the original vibe - It was one where the show was kinda slapped together and it was “whatever happens, happens”- It was *live* and totally unpredictable-which was refreshing because everything on TV up until that point was so polished, so rehearsed (look up “variety shows” or better yet “Lawrence Welk”) . SNL was different- a breath of fresh air, an antithesis to the establishment, the norm. So that is the reason I don’t mind when the host is reading off the cue cards. It reminds me of the original subversive counter-culture spirit of SNL.

What makes this sketch so great is the length of time it took for the punchline to come that turned it all on its head, JAJ's excellent facial expressions, and the mess-up with Kenan as judge proclaiming that the jury had come back a little too early; it's endearing, adds to the sketch and I think only he has the ability to inhabit a character that is able to carry such a situation!

Even with some of the attempts at cuteness (like the dogs at the end) the subject matter is the type of darkness that is so difficult to get right tonally. Adam does a fantastic job. Like the film panel sketch, this also makes good use of the ensemble cast. There's something about Adam that just brings out those old school SNL vibes in a way many hosts of recent years can't.

Adam Driver is a terrific actor.

This sketch is a work of art. On par with anything from any other era.

I don't know what Driver's connection to Christopher Walken is, but throughout the show tonight he seemed to be channeling him at all the best moments.

As the grandfather of a Frenchie, I loved this sketch. Grandma now hates Adam Driver, though. 😆🐶🏈

Judge rhodes explaning his cantaloupe snack made me laugh so hard for some reason..

Adam definitely is talented I was for sure thinking that he's reading cue cards but he has his lines memorized

On Conan O'Brian's podcast he explained that he doesnt read very well, so he studies and studies the scripts since he cant read the cue cards very well

Why is it when Adam Driver is on SNL he gets so many GOOD skits??! Is it that he is somehow easier to write for? Does he himself choose from the skits offered to him?? He had many very funny skits, more than an average guest. (AND when he was on in the past too)
