"The premise of the humor - that these three guys were useless around the house without their spouses around - isn't exactly fresh. It's 2025, and the idea that a guy can't make instant ramen without somehow botching it is enough to inspire sighs more than chuckles. That said, the actors playing the three husbands in the sketch - Teller, Kenan Thompson and Ben Marshall - really commit to their utter cluelessness."
"Another sketch used Teller well as a detective giving a press conference on the aftermath of a killing that might be the work of a notorious serial killer. The standout performance here comes from Andrew Dismukes, whose reporter takes the opportunity to pitch his superhero comic, Gar-Girl. (Yes, it's about a teenage girl with the powers of a gargoyle. No, you don't want to know her origin story.)"
Miles Teller returned to Saturday Night Live after three years, following an uneven previous hosting that nonetheless showcased his charisma. Several sketches on the episode leveraged Teller's dramatic chops before shifting into broader comedy. A Netflix-style true-crime sketch about three men whose wives disappeared leaned on the familiar premise that the husbands are helpless at home, but Teller, Kenan Thompson and Ben Marshall committed fully to their cluelessness. Another sketch cast Teller as a detective at a press conference about a possible serial killer, with Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla delivering standout, scene-stealing moments. The season so far reads as solid, and the next scheduled hosts are Niki Glaser and Glen Pow.
