"It was a little surprising, then, that Styles seemed just the tiniest bit in his head during yesterday's episode. It's not that he didn't commit fully to his characters: He broke out his best and loudest Sebastian Maniscalco impression (who knew he had one?) during the first sketch of the night. But there was an air of self-consciousness (or restraint, or perhaps just plain fatigue) to the singer, even as he did objectively funny stuff like kiss Ben Marshall during his monologue."
"It didn't make for a bad episode, by any means, and Styles definitely loosened up as the night went along. By the time we got to the 10-to-1 sketch, it was a relief to see that he actually seemed like he was having fun."
Harry Styles served as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live during a busy promotional period for his album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. The episode opened with a cold open featuring James Austin Johnson as Trump and Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth discussing gas prices and international conflicts. Styles demonstrated strong commitment to his characters, including a notable Sebastian Maniscalco impression during the opening sketch. However, he appeared somewhat self-conscious or restrained during the early portions of the show, though he gradually became more comfortable and visibly enjoyed himself by the later sketches, particularly the 10-to-1 segment.
