Saturday Night Live - Season 45 Episode 01: Woody Harrelson/Billie Eilish
Season 45 is complemented by more powerful surprises that begin with short theatrical performances, parodies and distinctive artistic tracks. Now, there is a distinctive simulation from those TV commercials, and there's music guest Taylor Swift. On the other hand, will be with us the musical guest Camilla Capello.

Harrelson throws out a shout out to climate activist Greta Thurnberg (whose face is plastered on his t-shirt) during an awkwardly long curtain call, closing a scattered premiere episode on a scattered note.

One of those wasn't too bad, but the best parts of the show came outside the political arena.

Harrelson was nothing but solid throughout the following episode, evincing a happy professionalism that, if the writing were better, could have elevated this first show nicely.

The monologue has Colin Jost written all over it. Oof. Welcome to Season 45!

I'd try to figure out other things to say about Saturday's premiere, but good or bad, Saturday Night Live just doesn't offer much to talk about these days.

"SNL" staged its own trailer of "Downton Abbey" and joked that nothing really happens in the box-office hit. But the same could be said for the blah season opener of "SNL."

SNL's season premiere gave off a same-as-it-ever-was vibe, not exactly encouraging after a lackluster last few seasons.

Thankfully, the episode found its footing - and gave at least one new cast member a chance to shine - after the first commercial break, when the show returned with a cameo-filled debate parody that really, really should have served as the cold open.

Yet the generational gap between this season premiere's host and musical guest is not the strangest choice. It's more what this season premiere chooses to do - or really, not do - with its multi-time host.

As the 45th season of the show moves forward, developing the rest of the cast should be SNL's priority, not putting in calls to Ray Donovan.
