Ariana is crowned Best SNL Host of the Season!
Quote:
Several first-timers took the stage and knocked it out of the park throughout the season. In this year’s Mr. Saturday Night contest, four first-timers made it to the final [...]. 12 hosts, were eliminated from our 5th annual Mr. Saturday Night contest, a weekly online poll that celebrated the best guests of the season. In its first four years, the final vote crowned Jimmy Fallon twice, Justin Timberlake, and Martin Freeman, and this year promised another SNL all-star.
In previous seasons, Melissa McCarthy barely missed winning twice, and though she didn’t reach the final this year, Ariana Grande and the SNL superteam of Tina Fey & Amy Poehler turned out to be strong contenders. Their competition from the guys is season-long friend of the show Larry David, Drake, Russell Crowe, and season-finale host Fred Armisen.

Final Vote
Ariana Grande: 55%
Russell Crowe: 19%
Tina Fey & Amy Poehler: 10%
Fred Armisen: 9%
Larry David: 5%
Drake: 2%
Grande led the weekly polls ever since she hosted in March, and she ran away with the title in the final vote. Several of her sketches made great use of her musical talent, but it was a spot-on impression of Jennifer Lawrence during “Celebrity Family Feud” that raised her to elite status. In a year where a woman could win the White House, the time seemed right for a female to break through here, too, Thanks again for voting throughout the year, and congratulations to Ariana Grande, Ms. Saturday Night 2016.
