This weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” might have left viewers longing for the good old days of mediocrity featuring the likes of Ellen Cleghorne, Rich Hall and Tim Kazurinsky. After all, even the “Sniglets” were funnier than a majority of this week’s episode. And a big part of the problem just might be placed squarely on the shoulders of host Adam Levine.

It might surprise some fans considering that the Maroon 5 frontman has become quite the popular TV personality on “The Voice.” His bromance-infused banter with fellow mentor Blake Shelton gives the show a bit of charm. He’s even dipped his toe into acting with a bloody but brief turn on “American Horror Story: Asylum.” But this weekend Levine probably learned that those two experiences are child’s play in relation to live sketch comedy.

While Levine shined singing in the Lonely Planet short “YOLO,” he struggled through a significant portion of the episode. Everyone knows the rigors of the “SNL” schedule are intense and rewrites are doled out up until showtime. But clearly the pop star hasn’t mastered the fine art of cue card reading yet, which was evident in any of the skits that burdened him with more than a couple of lines of dialogue. What do you think: Was Adam Levine funny on “SNL”?

Honestly, I have no idea. I didn't watch SNL because he was hosting. LOL I can't stand Adam Lavine or "Maroon 5 Guy", as I call him. I think he's creepy and thinks waay too highly of himself. Some nice tatts, tho.

I only saw parts of the beginning and they were pretty funny. It's hard for a scene to not be funny if it has Kennan Thompson in it. Love ya Kennan! :)

They really need to have folks trained in comedy to host Saturday Night Live not just any able body.

I thought he did pretty okay. I normally don't watch that much SNL but I enjoyed this last episode quite a bit.

Christina Aguilera was a lot funnier when she hosted. Her as Samantha from Sex and the City is seriously the most hilarious parody of that show I've ever seen.

Yes

But only sporaticly. The skits were not as sharp as they could have been.

I'm an Adam Levine fan but I have to say that he was not the least bit funny on SNL. I think a successful comedian has to be comfortable making fun at themselves and Adam unfortunately appeared too self-conscious.

No. But in his defense ninety percent of the hosts that have been on the show haven't been particularly funny. Some notable exceptions for me would be...

And don't laugh but also...

Yeah Carrie Fisher. The woman is funny as hell.
