Not Ready for Season 6 is back and we're looking at how the cast and writers of SNL bounce back after last week's infamous outing.

This episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Ellen Burstyn from the legendary film The Exorcist with The Queen of Soul herself Aretha Franklin bringing the house down as musical guest. And... we get Eddie Murphy in his first speaking role on the show!

Who is starting to emerge from the cast? What do they still need to fix?

All of this on another fun and exciting episode of Not Ready for Season 6!
