Watch the Saturday Night Live season 44 episode 14 live stream online tonight to see John Mulaney back as host so quickly after his first stint. It felt like it was yesterday when John Mulaney hosted Saturday Night Live. It was, in fact, within the past 12 months, as the established standup comedian returned to his stomping grounds to take up the mantle as a performer instead of his previous role as a writer. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t integral to the wellbeing of the show during his time, with great characters such as Stefan the result of his time at 30 Rock. Mulaney was the kind of host Saturday Night Live needs right now, as the crowning accomplishments this season have brought are some great, compelling musical performances and a consistently noteworthy Weekend Update block. That’s about it. Everything else about the show has been shaky, from pre-recorded sketches to cold opens, recurring sketches and the production side. What John brought last time was a great collaborative effort as both the straight man and the one driving the humor in his sketches last time. His standup comedy background allows him to drive home the more complicated, nuanced ideas in sketches as if they were observations that happened to him for the stage; a perfect combination to allow the writers to get creative. I’m not that familiar with the music of Thomas Rhett, though he has been working consistently for the past decade. He released a Grammy-nominated country album recently and just announced his upcoming 2019 album, Center Point Road, just yesterday. You can expect to hear his recently released single, “Look What God Gave Her,” during his stint. Here’s what you need to know in order to enjoy Saturday Night Live season 44, episode 14 later tonight: Date: Saturday, Mar. 2 Time: 11:30 p.m. ET Episode: Season 44, episode 14 Host: John Mulaney Musical Guest: Thomas Rhett Channel: NBC Live Stream: Stream 1 | Stream 2 | Stream 3<doc-sep>He came back and he didn't disappoint. Ben Stiller returned to "Saturday Night Live" to reprise his guest-starring role as Michael Cohen, former attorney for President Donald Trump, who appeared in front of Congress this week. He was joined another guest star, former "SNL" cast member Bill Hader as U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan. Stiller once again gave Cohen the "SNL" treatment, this time to set the record straight under oath. "The first time I testified was also under oath, but this time I really mean it," Stiller said. He also brought documents with him, including a personal check he wrote to porn star Stormy Daniels, printed with cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Then Hader launched into a frustrated version of Ohio congressman Jordan, who fumed that he was so angry that he couldn't even wear a jacket to the hearing. But it apparently worked to the advantage of other congressional members, including Kate McKinnon as Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who would yield their time back to Hader's Jordan so he could dig himself deeper.

Elijah Cummings. "Look, maybe I'm not a good person, maybe I'm a liar, maybe I'm a fool, maybe I ruined hundreds of people's lives," Stiller's Cohen said. "I'm sorry, is there a 'but' coming?" Cummings asks. "No, there isn't."<doc-sep>
Yep, that was a bodega owner with a singing bodega cat and a trio of oompa loompas. One of the highlights of last year's John Mulaney-hosted episode was Pete Davidson asking for the uncommon lobster dinner at a local diner. This time around, Davidson needed the key for the rarely used bathroom at a bodega. What happens next includes a musical parody with Willy Wonka's oompa loompas and a new version of a song from the musical "Rent" about the "Bodega of Love." The bodega's owner (Mulaney) hands Davidson the key to the bathroom, attached to a cinder block, leading to the musical interludes introduced by Kenan Thompson dressed in a cat costume. Then it gets a little weird. "Come with me and you'll be in a world of zero sanitation," the singing cat warns. The walls open to show Cecily Strong and Melissa Villasenor dressed as cockroaches inside the disgusting bathroom and Kate McKinnon as a walking candle from the shelf who comes to save Davidson from the grossness. And that's when the oompa loompas show up.

We're still not sure if that is a group of people we would want to follow, but it would at least give us an excuse to get out of that bodega.
