Josh Brolin seemed to be a bit of an afterthought. For whatever reason, Brolin stepped out of the way and let the cast shine -- which resulted in one of the best shows of the season.

There really were not a lot of opportunities for quality airtime during Maya Rudolph's reign as SNL host. (A show, I should add, that I ranked as the third best of the season.)

Who Scored Big in Week 10 of SNL's Relevancy Poll?

Over the life of this here Relevancy Poll, no week has been harder to rank than Jimmy Fallon's show from this past weekend.

So take this week with a grain of salt because, really, nobody had a great week. Well, actually, I can make the case for one cast member:
