19 Times Celebrities Did The Best Damn Job At Hosting "SNL" — No Questions Asked

I'm gonna need RuPaul to host again sometime soon.

We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their absolute favorite Saturday Night Live hosts. Here are the hilarious results:

1. John Mulaney (Season 43, Episode 18)

NBC

"John Mulaney has so many funny sketches, like 'What’s That Name,' the 'Chad Horror Movie,' 'National School Walkout,' and others — not to mention, his monologues are beautifully hilarious!" —BeamMeUpSoftboy

"His 'Diner Lobster' trilogy is quite possibly the best thing I have ever watched." —bookworm47

2. Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Season 45, Episode 2)

NBC

"Phoebe Waller-Bridge's SNL episode is one of my favorite episodes ever." —ayelamarcuson1

Phoebe killed it in all of the sketches she was in (especially "William and Lydia"), but she absolutely nailed it during her monologue. Her timing was impeccable, and she was honestly just saying everything we were all thinking about Fleabag.

4. Maya Rudolph (Season 37, Episode 15)

NBC

"Anytime Maya comes back to SNL, she absolutely kills it!!! She's brilliant as Kamala Harris, but one of my all-time favorite sketches was when she hosted back in 2012 and played Beyoncé after giving birth to Blue Ivy.

11. Dave Chappelle (Season 42, Episode 6)
