Thanks to the 45th President of the United States, SNL writers were given a wealth of material to work with in their 42nd season. But it's to their credit that they mostly nailed-it, with some pitch perfect political sketches, extremely memorable guest stars, and David S. Pumpkins. Not everything about Season 42 worked, but it nonetheless felt like a really momentous one in the show's history.
