  • Fallacies (70%)
    The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the creator of SNL as saying that Matt Damon's first hosting was counted for three times and then two times. This is not a reliable source and should be taken with a grain of salt.

  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains several examples of religious bias. The author uses the phrase 'Five-Timers Club' which is a reference to an episode in the TV show 'Saturday Night Live'. This episode features a sketch about Jesus Christ hosting SNL and being inducted into the Five-Timers Club, implying that he has hosted five times on SNL. The author also uses quotes from several celebrities who are members of this club, including Paul Rudd and Matt Damon. These quotes suggest that they have all hosted the show multiple times, which is not accurate as Jesus Christ did not host SNL in real life.
    • Paul Rudd and Matt Damon are members of this club despite being fictional characters on the show

        • The author quotes Paul Rudd saying he heard a rumor about a five-timers sketch featuring awesome celebrity cameos. This implies that there was some sort of script or plan for this, but the article later reports that no such sketch is happening.
