This inaugural test run may have been a failure, but it's certainly not a death wish. All eyes will most likely be on Che as the season continues.

What we hope for are a few good sketches, one terrific taped parody, a couple of flattering showcases for the guest host, and, if we're lucky, an entertaining music act. By this modest measure, the 40th-season premiere was almost very good.
