The season finale of SNL was the fifth time that Ben Affleck has hosted the show, officially making him a member of the "Fiver Timers" club. You may remember the pomp and circumstance that surrounded Justin Timberlake when he joined this elite group, so how was the Oscar-winning director of 'Argo' inducted?

Of course there was an 'Argo' sketch on last night's SNL. How could you get Ben Affleck to host and not have some kind of 'Argo' sketch? However, what they came up with proved much stranger and much funnier than you'd expect. What if Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad protested 'Argo' by making a movie about the making of 'Argo'?

Vince Vaughn's first 'SNL' hosting gig in over a decade might have felt a bit undercooked, something we're hoping two-time host and 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will fix in his May 4 outing, but it's the rest of 'SNL's' all-star May lineup that really brings the A game. Not only will beloved former cast member Kristen Wiig return to the 'SNL' stage for her first hosting gig, but so will Ben Affleck, with musical guest Kanye West! Preview 'SNL's' all-star May inside!

'To the Wonder' Review
