Satisfaction

When the Rolling Stones first appeared on SNL in the 1970s, it was a sign the show had arrived.  When Mick Jagger was announced as the final host this year, more likely the reaction was why are they giving him the spot, he hasn't done anything anyone cares about in decades. (This assumes, of course, people have heard of him.)

They really put the old guy through his paces.  He appeared in most of the sketches (generally trying to act) and sang in several musical bits generally doing old Stones songs.  But they saved the best for last. Whatever reservations I had disappeared when Mick and the rest sang "She's A Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday" to the departing Kristen Wiig.  As the cast danced with her and said goodbye, it was surprisingly emotional--something rare on SNL, and TV in general.
