fur coat rhonda!

forgot about maddow - what was her big meryl streep sketch? or was that part of a "cast does a series of impressions" thing?

It was a digital short: Meryl Streep on Ice. Feel like she might've done it on Weekend Update, too?

haha fuck, fur coat rhonda is the best

did they do another one of those sketches recently btw?

yes

ah fuck

as much as i'd miss some of them, i actually hoped hader, thompson, samberg, armisen, wigg and sudeikis would all split this year. they've all been around since 2005 or earlier.

i legit need a slappy pappy hour long special

did they do another one of those sketches recently btw?

It was Web-only but just as funny as the other two, IMO. RIP Goran "Funky Boy" Bogdan, though.

yeah wtf how did that get cut

Yessssssd

Why can't she just be a gifted performer?

Well, she is a talented performer, but it's helpful if you don't move the goalposts in the middle of the conversation (which was about whether she or Killam became integrated into the cast more quickly).

Apparently, Slappy Pappy is a variation of a character Moynihan was doing at UCB. So he might have a film's-worth of material built up.

my fav one-off catchphrase comedian was Boston powers

you guys are really not factoring in popularity on the mixtape circuit here, TK's Tear 'N Kill 'Em has over three times as many downloads on Dat Piff as JP's Jay Egyptronica

Hi Hader

Player Hader was promoted as a free download and never even broke 1k downloads iirc

lol i think of "tear n kill em" every time i see killam

Sudekis - The Last Kiss

haha fuck you just beat me with that one

LONG KIS GOODNIGHT

lol

lol i think of "tear n kill em" every time i see killam

Same. Probably aided by the fact that dude is so totally thug.

Armisen Hammer

btw jadakiss's first name is actually jason for real

hahaha

So Abby Elliott's network show officially didn't get picked up? I guess I haven't been following closely. She'll be back on SNL for sure. She's starting to win me over with things like her Zooey character, Fur Coat Rhonda and the girl hosting that "What Is This?" gameshow on Eli Manning's episode.

Nasim, Taran, Bobby, Vanessa and Bill will all be plenty capable of carrying the show's weight on their shoulders while newer hires find their footing. Kenan and Fred are sort of like scenery at this point...still funny, but they've given all they can give. Jay Pharaoh and Kate McKinnon are question marks going forward.

i dunno AE did recently break up with another cast member who's definitely not leaving. would rather she stay and FA leave, though.

lol i think of "tear n kill em" every time i see killam

his kid with cobie smulders is named Shaolin...or rather, Shaelyn. but still.

Watching HIMYM recently, I realized that I would reeeeeally like to see Taran and Cobie do a project together.

they did, its called parenthood

Oh, weird, I thought that was Nate Fisher and Lorelai Gilmore on that show.

i dunno if sudekis was upset or not at not getting a sendoff since it wasn't official or anything (it'd look bad to get a goodbye and then show up again, like you couldn't make it outside of snl), 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. it just looked like he was going to miss his buddy and couldn't deal with it enough for the singing and dancing. i could be wrong; just my impression.

also, sudekis is/was often the best part of skits where he was just a secondary character reacting to whatever foolishness was going on, like fist fight in the parking lot, lord wyndemere, that jim carrey channeler who was just doing impressions of famous people, what's up with that?, and so on. like, jimmy fallon levels of enthusiasm for just being there and getting to do this thing, but without the need to interrupt the proceedings to let everyone know about it. he just seems more comfortable always standing at the back of the stage during closings, not so much an up-front mugging type of guy.

Yeah, he'll hopefully go down in SNL history as an A+ utility guy. AFAIC, he's just a few shades shy of Phil Hartman inasmuch as he's someone with the juice to be a star but the humility to fit effortlessly into an ensemble. Which is why I give him the benefit of the doubt re: his supposedly throwing a hissy fit over Wiig's send-off.

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.

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

This is a new development. I don't remember Adam Sandler or Kevin Nealon or Joe Piscopo jumping around from starlet to starlet.

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 imo
still can't resist norm, but who has been better?
