i suspect it was something else that will be chronicled in some bitter SNL writer's memoir... you do have to wonder what wiig said to him during their hug though

but i haven't seen anyone look so completely devastated as he did since irene got married on real world s2 and left the show and jon was totally crushed.
lol

there are some reports that he may still be back in the fall, although who knows really: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-05-22/news/31816786_1_jason-sudeikis-kristen-wiig-snl

Wait, so now Sudeikis is dating Olivia Wilde? He's like SNL's in-house MVP, where the P stands for playa.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 May 2012 03:17 (11 months ago) Permalink
They've been dating for a minute now. Who else has he dated besides January Jones since his divorce?

really? Sudeikis? these SNL playas always surprise me
― Nhex, Monday, 28 May 2012 03:34 (11 months ago) Permalink
This is a new development. I don't remember Adam Sandler or Kevin Nealon or Joe Piscopo jumping around from starlet to starlet.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 May 2012 03:40 (11 months ago) Permalink
i think sudeikis might have gotten some heartthrob status from playing the only liz lemon boyfriend who wasn't a crazy dummy

Floyd ended up being the worst, though.

Nah, there's no logic to it. Remember David Spade?

Oh yeah, sometimes I forget David Spade was even on SNL. But he sure did get around (for some reason).

I just realized that if Seth comes back next year, he'll be the longest running update host in history!

I couldn't even imagine who on this cast could replace him. Though I would wager they're grooming Mulaney for the job.

Seth on WU is consistently funny and rly overlooked imostill can't resist norm, but who has been better?

From what I understand, they've been bouncing that possibility around for a while. Might help ease the theoretical transition if he started making appearances again.

Seth is great, but Norm really is the gold standard, and i doubt anyone here would disagree

oh I don't, I'm saying norm is best but besides him, who's been better than Seth?

fey & fallon were about as good as seth imo
seth is good tho

Dennis Miller was a good Update chair imo. He can eat shit now, but I found him really funny at the time.

What? How is Fred Armisen not 50% of that pie?

eh, never cottoned to Seth as a WE host. something about his face.
― Nhex, Monday, 28 May 2012 05:25 (11 months ago) Permalink
The only actively terrible Update anchor I can think of is Colin Quinn. He wasn't in the most enviable position, though.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 28 May 2012 05:29 (11 months ago) Permalink
Nealon wasn't much to speak of, either. I didn't remember until looking at wikipedia that he held the chair for three years.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 May 2012 05:34 (11 months ago) Permalink
I remember Nealon being OK, but I know that's the childhood nostalgia

I'm very surprised Booby Moynihan was on the show this year more than Bayer or Pedrad. I barely remember him doing anything.

The difference between 5.13% and 7.56% is probably about three or four sketches.

btw, did anyone else see Hader's appearance on Jimmy Fallon last Friday night? When he walked out, The Roots played "Trouble" by Lindsey Buckingham.

where is Jon Hamm in that breakdown

lol, he probably does have a registrable percentage.

I thought Kate McKinnon did a pretty great job being thrown right into it all. Her skit as the Swedish Chelsea Handler a few weeks back was pretty funny.

For some reason I really crack up thinking of Morbius eagerly staring at his computer, desperately re-clicking on this thread to see if anybody bit at his troll bait.

I was maybe being a bit facetious w/ Joan Cusack but srsly I thought Billy Madison was a lot bigger than $26m at the box office!

that's still quite a good number for the early '90s

Perrin article on the little-remembered The New Show, a Lorne Michaels primetime sketch-show flop in 1984. Of the clips, I particularly like John Candy as Rod Serling's son.

The entire series of The New Show is available for download at that website with the organ in its name.
