Describing the Queen’s passing as a “punch to the stomach”, Kerri said she first realised something was amiss when the BBC suspended its broadcast. Several of his famous friends arrived to help him out during his monologue — like Tracy Morgan (marking his second monologue appearance during the 45th season of SNL), Chris Rock (who was excited to be there because his kids are huge Lizzo fans), and Dave Chapelle (who lit up what appeared to be an actual cigarette on stage). The book itself is paperback, with soft touch matt lamination to the cover, portrait and A5 in size.

Black Jeopardy" is always snappy and fun, and adding Velvet Jones into the mix was a perfect match for this familiar concept. Heidi Gardner's cake is the only one that looks as it should, though it gets overlooked time and time again. Unsurprisingly, the Saturday Night Live band left Eddie Murphy to his own devices for his monologue — during which he riffed about fatherhood and his new film, the underappreciated Dolemite Is My Name. In the riff on baking shows, a panel of judges — which includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, and Ego Nwodim — must evaluate cakes based on contestant's most beloved childhood Christmas memories, which goes just about as well as you might think. As the quiz show continued with categories like "White People" and "My Last Nerve," Murphy's Velvet Jones kept trying to turn the whole thing into an infomercial for his books, which include titles like "I Wanna Be a Ho," "A** for Cash," and his most modern tome, "How to Be an Instagram Ho.Robinson shouts down his rich white neighbors when they accuse him of stealing their new TV from the lobby (spoiler: he actually did do that) and ignores a stranger at the door claiming to be his long-lost son.

Murphy, who was a cast member on Saturday Night Livefor four years before exiting in 1984, went on to build an enormously successful career on the big screen and the stage (his stand-up specials, including Delirious and Raw, are some of the best around). Weekend Update can be a bit of a slog with Jost and Che at the helm, and wisely, this interruption lets the two take a back seat to Murphy, who tells them (in character) that he's "passed kidney stones with more personality" than the two of them.He peppered in an incredibly risky joke about the fact that he's now a stay-at-home dad and his former contemporary, the utterly disgraced Bill Cosby, is now in jail. Beyond a cold open focusing on the latest Democratic debate — in which Kate McKinnon pulled off an insane quick change to play both Senator Elizabeth Warren and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Jason Sudeikis stepped in for Woody Harrelson to play Joe Biden — Murphy shined in the episode, seeming right at home in Studio 8H. The end result was a solid sketch that showcased Murphy's beloved character, Thompson's deadpan humor, and a series of incredibly clever, specific jokes. Considering that the most exciting moment of the sketch was an accident, it's safe to say this segment isn't particularly special without it. Finally, Eddie Murphy's cake is inexplicably inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog: it's brown, contains human teeth, speaks in tongues, and, at some point, catches on fire.

Filled with stunning drawings, life-affirming words and inspirational poems, these pages will make you pause, take a breath and appreciate the beauty in the smaller, everyday moments. There’s a space every month to jot down ‘things to look forward to’ and ‘stuff to remember’ so that you can stay on top of all the things our busy lives throws at us. It hits all the right notes and closes on an emotional beat with the tagline, "To all our families: we love you, even when we don't.When Murphy stands up at dinner to raise a glass to his loved ones, the camera cleverly cuts back and forth between his emotional speech and the real moments that inspired his speech — from a fight with his wife over the whole family staying at their house to Kenan Thompson's loud, weird grandfather to an argument with their daughter, Ego Nwodim, about her white fiancé, Mikey Day.
