The old adage about your favorite era of SNL being the one you watched when you were 13 holds true in my case.
Well, yes, but also because that is objectively and inarguably the best SNL cast ever.
(Although, admittedly, I may also have possibly been 13 during that era.)

I honestly don't remember who all went through the Update ranks during the Ebersol years, but none of them were great. That's where the riff raff is (along with Colin Quinn).

Brad Hall ('82-'84) and Christopher Guest ('84-'85 season). Guest was surprisingly awful at it, no personality whatsoever, and shitty timing. But compared to Colin Jost, he was Richard Pryor.

Anyone who doesn't think Norm was the best update anchor, gtfoh

yeah probably

At any rate, I think we can all agree that Colins should never work the Update desk.

Is this where we were discussing the Mulaney sitcom? Because that shit looks bad.

Is there where someone explains to me why people expected so much of John Mulaney to begin with? his on camera segments on SNL were always painful imo.
― some dude, Sunday, 14 September 2014 11:18 (ten years ago) link
I wasn't expecting much, really, because yeah the dude's a good writer but his persona sucks. But him being a writer I was kind of expecting jokes that could at least, in theory, be funny when delivered by someone more appealing than him.
― "a bit of goatery, some demonry" (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 14 September 2014 11:21 (ten years ago) link
yeah he's been a writer on enough things i've enjoyed that i assume he's talented, but whenever he turned up on Best Week Ever or a Comedy Central standup show i was just like this guy is awkward as hell, send him back to the writer's room

His New In Town special was great

Darrell Hammond replacing Pardo.

Wow

I've been jokingly suggesting that but then Lorne Michaels actually went and did the thing that seemed absurd enough for me to suggest in a joking fashion.
― Bouffants and Other Coifs (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 September 2014 16:04 (ten years ago) link
they should just play the recording of Pardo saying "DARRELL HAMMOND" for the introduction of every cast member
― example (crüt), Thursday, 18 September 2014 16:07 (ten years ago) link
My sister still spouts ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL! in Pardo's voice during random lulls at Christmas.

after this season, with snl calling the report "inaccurate"
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 21:13 (ten years ago) link
would miss him, he seems like one of those anchor dudes that can be relied on in almost any situation/sketch
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
I'd be surprised if he comes back, and I thought that even before the TMZ report yesterday. It just seems like it's his time to move on (I still love him, tho).
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
I'll be sad if he goes, for sure. 2016 season will feature a "reunion" Scared Straight sketch with returning Hader, Samberg & Thompson still trying to make each other break.

well 'Piano' is anyway
That whole show was rough. Leslie Jones was the best part of it and she's not even in the cast.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 28 September 2014 05:11 (nine years ago) link
For someone who'd been on the show for 40 years, you'd think they'd give Pardo more of a tribute than a title card after Update.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 28 September 2014 12:33 (nine years ago) link
Like Darrell Hammond made up to look like him and dancing with Lorne to "She's A Rainbow"

che is gonna be great once he settles in and stops stumbling over his cue cards
jost... whatever
girl at a party sketch was good as always
most of the other stuff was pretty eh but the marvel taped sketch was really funny. also thought the "Weird" Kyle Mooney Sketch from was actually kinda great.

xp Dude, give Che a month or something. He's got Jost's lack of charisma and bad delivery weighing him down.

well on top of that, Seth is out as head writer and the jokes mostly blow
― bozack horseman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 29 September 2014 03:30 (nine years ago) link
I dunno, if Seth is that good, Late Night wouldn't be such a monumental snoozefest.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 29 September 2014 03:33 (nine years ago) link
btw Darrell Hammond is not as good an announcer as I somehow imagined he might be. Sounded like the guy reading small print at the end of an investment commercial.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 29 September 2014 03:40 (nine years ago) link
Yeah Hammond sounded like he was just reading it through in preparation. Weird.
It has its moments, but unless it really improves in quality I'd be perfectly happy if they fired him and sent him back to write at SNL. Hell, anchor even, I didn't think he was that bad.
