Vince Vaughn hosted this week's episode of "Saturday Night Live" with a Miguel as the musical guest. Vaughn had previously hosted in the late 1990s and opened the episode strong with a quick-witted monologue that involved a few audience members and his infamous gusto. As the night went on, it felt like the sketches were more thought out with each player having more of a role in each. Some of the best cast members (specifically Bill Hader) got more on-air time than they usually do, which was a huge plus. Plus having Vaughn involved in the majority of the sketches made for a great night. Miguel was very impressive as well!

First off: Vince's monologue. There was not much to it, but it allowed Vaughn to do what he does best: talk a lot. It might have seemed a bit long, but it definitely delivered. Plus he was hitting on Paige for a while and it was amazing. Here is the opening monologue:
One great sketch that really got a lot of laughs was the pre-recorded segment involving Bill Hader doing his impressive Al Pacino impression. On top of that, it was Hader playing Pacino playing multiple roles of accused murderers. If that is hard to understand, just watch the clip below:
Another great sketch was the "Short Term Memory Loss Theater" segment. The premise is that a doctor treating patients with short-term memory loss has put together a play with them in it. The jokes might be a little on the nose, but the delivery is great and Hader even breaks character briefly:
Miguel's first performance of his song "Adorn" was very impressive (CLICK HERE for his second performance of the night, "How Many Drinks"). With a definite "look" to him, the singer crooned his way through his first "SNL" appearance and probably managed to obtain a lot of new fans.
So all in all it was a pretty good episode. There were a few other sketches that got plenty of laughs and even "Weekend Update" made the audience realize that Seth Myers could easily become the new host of "Late Night" on NBC.
So what did you think of this week's "SNL?"
