Finn Wolfhard Dials Up Charm in a Solid SNL Hosting Debut

Vulture’s recap of SNL’s Season 51 episode hosted by Finn WolfhardOverall the hosting is solid with Wolfhard showing growing comedic chops across sketches (including a Harry Potter spoof and a Stranger Things promo) and a notably strong Weekend Update.

The cold open pokes fun at Trump’s cabinet, and while one finale sketch misses the mark, the show earned a 4-star Editor’s Rating and positions Wolfhard as a capable host stepping out from Stranger Things.
