Winner of both our hearts and multiple Emmys, Phoebe Waller-Bridge spared no uncomfortable topic tonight in her SNL monologue. The first-time host covered a range of subject manner spanning sex addiction, women’s needs, and the ever-present reality of human genitalia. On psychopaths: “They’re really having a moment, aren’t they?†On why Hot Priest was hot: “Because he was doing this one thing: listening.†On people’s genitals: “They’re just sitting there.†One can only imagine the countless children up past their bedtimes watching SNL, blessed with this new knowledge about feminism, politics, and the human body. Waller-Bridge is doubtless shaping the next generation, and we are better for it.
