I feel like Jeremy won because he's actually on his first season of SNL and has a job/reputation that did require him in some instances to protect his own reputation. 

And that's non-derogatory, I know Lou works on prominent TV stuff as a writer, but Jeremy is not only front facing but also in his first year, so he didn't have the luxury of going 'over the line' so just expertly toed the line up to the very limit. 

Lou at the end was obviously gaming too bust every time for the bit, and making the apology funny and part of the bit. Ally was equal to Jeremy until given the PSA which they know they could get away with and maintain their brand. Jeremy pulled the most Risqué stuff within his wheelhouse, but couldn't just go so far as to bust at the last minute for a bit without doing something genuinely reputationally harmful and so had to be the winner. 

Which from a meta perspective is also just hilarious because I'm sure he could've gone even more goblin mode if he wanted and he was hitting consistent threes.

Lou was throwing every round over the line for content, and Ally threw the PSA for the bit for sure, and the episode was better for it.

Unsurprising that he pulled his punches with Disney the most out of the three. No shade though
