    The more enjoyable aspects of the special came during the bits that had nothing to do with Trump but everything to do with how weird 2020 is. ... Other sketches hit or missed as much due to the celebrity co-star’s willingness to throw him or herself into the character. So, much like SNL, then.

Though I find Sarah Cooper extremely funny, it felt like too much time was given to guest stars who were mostly meh. Also, the inclusion of a background storyline tried too hard to be topical, and just wound up being tedious. Sarah Cooper is best when she's doing non-sequitur sketches like the Parking Lot Magician and the Mar-a-lago sketch. Or, of course, when she's doing the Trump voice-overs that made her famous. Would love to see more from her, though! Perhaps something that focuses more on the comedian herself! Full Review »

I dug it .... for the first 30-40 minutes, but after that it just kinda dragged in the "I got the joke" sort of way, so it gets a solid 7 Full Review »
