“
, I’m a [second-generation Canadian comedy] star!!”
Dan Levy should have been a sure thing as host. An award-winning comic actor with range, Levy seems like he’d be right at home taking the stage in 8H. And he was, really, with only the writing of tonight’s episode letting him down. His monologue pulled out the old studio tour bit with a COVID twist, something that the show did precisely nothing with other than have Aidy Bryant come out brandishing a social distancing pool noodle to whack the audience-encroaching Levy in the breadbasket. Levy’s dad was there, too, beaming proudly from within the plexiglass cage the show’d stuck him in after his ill-advised, cross-country, proud papa flight. If you’ve got Eugene Levy in the house and you can’t think of anything funnier than that for him to do, that’s a squander of unforgivable proportions.
