SNL Season 42: Worst to Best Episodes, Ranked — Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Fallon, The Rock, Melissa McCarthy and More


Saturday Night Live closed out its most-watched season in over two decades last weekend, thanks in part to Alec Baldwin’s many buzzed-about appearances as President Donald Trump, and a cabinet that included Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer. But which episodes did TVLine readers consider the best and worst?

With Season 42 now behind us, we’re revisiting how each of the last 21 installments — featuring hosts such as Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari, Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Stone — fared, based on the average grade that you gave them.

Did Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Crucible Cast Party” knock your socks off? What about Kristen Stewart’s seductive Totino’s ad? And did Tom Hanks — who blessed us with David S. Pumpkins — help elevate Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s induction into the Five Timers’ Club?

Peruse the above gallery (or click here for direct access) to see how TVLiners ultimately ranked each SNL Season 42 episode from worst to best, then tell us if you’re stunned by any of the results.
