Molly Shannon Returns to Saturday Night Live to Reprise Iconic Characters, Receives Mixed Reviews

Molly Shannon hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time, reprising famous characters like Sally O'Malley while introducing a new character named Jeannie Darcy.
Reviews of the episode noted weak and disappointing sketches but praised Shannon's performance and a highlight sketch parodying Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
Shannon is known for beloved SNL characters from her time as a cast member in the 1990s, and her return featured the revival of Sally O'Malley alongside musical guest Jonas Brothers.
The episode received criticism for relying on one-note premises and lacking funny lines, though Bowen Yang's performance as Jafar on Weekend Update was praised.
Shannon currently stars in the HBO Max series The Other Two and has continued her comedic career in film and television since leaving SNL in 2001.
