Knicks star Jalen Brunson shows some solid comedy chops in as 'SNL' season opening host
Key Points:
- "Saturday Night Live" kicked off its 52nd season with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson as host, celebrating his recent NBA Finals MVP win and the Knicks' first championship in decades.
- Brunson navigated the challenging monologue with help from teammates and performed well in sketches, including a memorable office scene and a parody of "High School Musical."
- He also shined in a "Shark Tank" parody about glasses that alert wearers when looking at women’s breasts, showcasing his comedic timing in quirky sketches.
- Overall, Brunson is considered one of the better athlete hosts on "SNL," though not quite at the level of Peyton Manning, and may return if the Knicks continue their success.
