Saturday Night Live Wasted Steve Martin’s Return

Saturday Night Live Wasted Steve Martin’s Return

Prior to his cameo alongside Gomez, Martin’s last Saturday Night Live appearance was during the unfortunately barren “canceled” Paul Rudd episode in December 2021. Rudd was inducted into the 5-Timers Club by a skeleton crew of Saturday Night Live cast members as a result of the resurgence of COVID-19, with Martin appearing briefly in a video call to congratulate the new inductee. The ceremony was unfortunately underwhelming, with Rudd’s disappointment worn plainly on his face, and despite Martin’s best efforts to bring levity to the occasion, the episode ultimately left viewers wanting.

After his brief appearance in Rudd’s episode, Steve Martin returning to the show in full force would have been exciting for fans, and for Martin as well. Even in a limited capacity, Martin’s comedic prowess dominates scenes, making his appearances the most memorable part of any given episode. But the writing in this most recent episode was unbefitting of such a talent and is a waste of Steve Martin’s return to performing and the relationship that he and Saturday Night Live have developed over the last 45 years.
