There were some really funny skits in this show and Christoph Waltz was a great host. The writing at times was a little flat and some sketches did drag on for a little too long (Tippy...) but overall it was a great show and the Tarantino spoof and the Pope commercial were pretty funny. I did like the musical guests Alabama Shakes as well although the singer/2nd guitar player looked kinda angry and unhappy. ;-)
Certainly the most solid show of this season and it's a pity that some of the skits from the dress rehearsal didn't make it into the show. If you are a SNL/Waltz fan this is definitely a must see for you. I've been contemplating what kind of a show they could come up with if they had more time for the preparation of the show (writing and rehearsing) but still think they used Christoph Waltz pretty well and gave him enough room to showcase his talents given their time constraints.
