‘SNL’ recap: Best moments from Finn Wolfhard hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’

After taking a break over the holidays, “SNL” returned to the air for the tenth episode of its 51st season on Saturday, Jan. 17, with “Stranger Things” actor Finn Wolfhard as host and rapper/actor A$AP Rocky as musical guest.

Now that Wolfhard is done with the hit Netflix show, it will be interesting to see where his career goes from here. He’s shown himself to be a big fan of sketch comedy (particularly the long-running web series “Jake and Amir”) and appeared in the “SNL” film “Saturday Night” as a page, so seeing him on stage at Studio 8H makes a lot of sense in the interim.

Wolfhard’s episode was notable for two things: A great use of the younger cast and a heavy dose of celebrity cameos, starting with fellow “Stranger Things” stars Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin in the opening monologue.

Wolfhard also fit right in on the return of the “Snackhomiez” sketch, which debuted during the Sabrina Carpenter episode and brought the pop star back for its second edition.

Then there was the appearance of Jason Momoa in the Harry Potter/”Heated Rivalry” crossover sketch, in which Harry (Wolfhard) and Ron (Ben Marshall) find love on the quidditch pitch.

Finally, musical guest A$AP Rocky, who popped up in the Snackhomiez sketch, brought out a truly surprising cameo for his first musical performance: Film score composer Danny Elfman, rocking out shirtless on the drums at age 72.
