12 Best SNL Sketches Of 2016
NBC

As season 41 of Saturday Night Live ended and season 42 began, new cast members and writers brought their skills to the table. It seems like this season is better than the last with great episodes from hosts like Tom Hanks and Dave Chappelle.

I've narrowed down 12 of the best SNL sketches of 2016 after hours of binge watching this show during winter break. Watch them all because they are all marvelous.

1. Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base


SNL found an original way to make a sketch about Star Wars.

2. Haunted Elevator (ft. David S. Pumpkins)

Tom Hanks hosted a great SNL episode this season. His role as David S. Pumpkins in the haunted elevator sketch was bizarre enough to be hilarious. So weird, yet so funny!

3. Election Night


This sketch is relatable, considering I go to the University of Oregon.

4. Golden Globes

This sketch shows what goes on at home when the parents are at the Golden Globes.

5. Bern Your Enthusiasm


Larry David referenced Curb Your Enthusiasm in this Bernie Sanders sketch.

6. Alec Baldwin As Donald Trump

Alec Baldwin has been killing it this season with his Trump impression.

7. Kyle vs. Kanye


Kyle Mooney is an aspiring rapper who challenges Kanye West to a rap battle.

8. Crucible Cast Party (ft. Lin-Manuel Miranda)


Cast members of a high school play sing about what goes on at their wild cast party.

9. Wells For Boys


"Check out other cool new toys for our sensitive boy line, like balconies for when they are ready to announce something or a shattered mirror to examine the complex contradictions of their being."

10. A Day Off

Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), Trump's campaign manager, takes a day off and has to go back to work seemingly every time Trump tweets something.

11. Hillary Actually

Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) asks an elector to change her vote in her favor in this recreation of this classic scene from Love Actually.

12. Pool Boy

Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as a married woman who is having trouble ending her affair with her dumb pool boy, Chad (Pete Davidson).

Bonus Video: Office Hours

Benedict Cumberbatch gives an Oscar-worthy performance as a college professor pouring his heart out to Chad (Pete Davidson), a dumb college student.

These sketches were the best to come out of SNL this season, but there are more to watch. Check out SNL's YouTube channel here.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
