FINALLY ... THE ROCK DWAYNE JOHNSON ... HAS COME BACK! ... TO SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: See what happens when you take two weeks off? A pretty good show with elements we haven't seen in quite some time -- a new and funny spin on Obama, a guest host with a monologue and second skit showcasing hidden talents and some nice bitterness, a relevant (and funny) Kenan Thompson bit on Update, Kristin Wiig taking her Jamie Lee Curtis/Activia bit to the next level, and a suitably absurd and fun 12:50a capper.

Sadly, Hulu does not have all of Update -- including a joke that Phil emailed to us earlier in the week and a cameo from a friend of the show who's become as essential to this era as John Goodman was to the late 1990s -- but it does have both performances from Bill Simmons anti-fave Ray La-Mone-Tahn-Yuh.
