SNL always has a slump year in major cast transitions...this happened in the mid 80's...and also happened in 1995 with Chris Elliott and Michael McKean....
What happened in 1996 was you had leaders pull it together, like Will Ferrell and Daryl Hammond....basically, what the cast needs is that stand out comedian/leader...
Just it's going to be pretty shitty for the next few weeks...but it'll come together...they just need to get that breakout character....
It also depends immensely on who the host is...in this case, a Professional Tennis Player is not an ideal host....
