Saturday Night Live season 41 episode 8 features guest host Chris Hemsworth and musical guest Chance The Rapper. The episode kicks off with a cold open sketch lampooning the recent Republican presidential debate. This is followed by Hemsworth's monologue, in which he talks about his experience as a Marvel superhero and his recent stint as People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive."
The show also features a number of recurring sketches, including "Celebrity Family Feud" and "Weekend Update." One of the standout sketches of the episode features Hemsworth as a hunky office worker who becomes the object of desire for all his female coworkers, much to the chagrin of his male colleagues.
In addition to the regular sketches, the episode also features a few standout musical performances from Chance The Rapper. The Chicago-based rapper performs two songs, including his hit single "No Problem."
Overall, Saturday Night Live season 41 episode 8 is a solid episode featuring some strong performances from both Hemsworth and Chance The Rapper. While some of the sketches fall a bit flat, the episode is still an entertaining and enjoyable installment of the long-running comedy series.
