Saturday Night Live

left an IMPORTANT hs football game with a friend to see The Animal at an actual theater. it was my first hate watch.

sandler always looks to me like a guy weary of friends asking him for favors

I loved reading that

thank u, Eazy

ditto

Norm's 'Me Doing Standup' is my favorite comedy album. I don't remember his WU very well. I'm looking forward to any Norm bits in the Miller and Shales book.

Me Doing STandup is my favorite comedy special since Killin' Them Softly

1 great article, heartwarming.

2 The Harry Shearer interview was terrific. I had been wondering about whether there would be more Christopher Guest movies and he explains why they are so hard to do and why there probably would not be more. Which I had figured on, but it's depressing anyway.

3 This led me to the Andrea Martin interview. Which is sweet and uplifting in so many ways yet - to think that Andrea Martin could feel bad for a minute about not being on SNL - when she was essential to the exponentially more valuable SCTV --- makes me go all Hulk Smash irrational anger crazy like arrgh, crush SNL, crush SNL, crush SNL, crush SNL.

does anyone else ever see this at Whole Foods and think "SNL musical guest"?

I never get in a Whole Foods and I'm thinking it anyway

Gary K's piece was fantastic.

as hokey as it was, the ending of Kroeger's post got me a little.

Palin shit was gross

So gross that an adult in politics didn't start a fight at a party

.

The ways it aligns and differs with kroeger's take is fun, esp "OMG I had said its great to be back to someone, Eddie must have been told and stole it!"

Also I approve of the anecdotal evidence that bob odenkirk will be called "better call Saul" by clueless passerby now

Pretty brilliant of her to come up with the phrases "magical evening" and "it felt like high school" I bet no-one at that 40th Anniversary special had thought of those.

Kroeger's "man I wish I tried harder to be memorable when I was on" vs dillon's "my memorable sketches...ignored to praise bass-o-matic!"

I think the disdain for Doumanian's season is generally overblown, but I don't think Dillon would've lasted more than one season during any SNL era.

Wow, Denny. nagl there

She's obviously joking?

I read it as a riff on Kroeger's piece but maybe I'm wrong

Couldn't figure if it was a joke or not, but makes much more sense as such.

Yeah there were bits that seemed tongue in cheek and others that didn't.

cannot stop watching this

Last couple of eps have been pretty solid, I think. Anyone else see them?

Moynihan as TWO nautically themed insane people was pretty good tonight.

I actually thought last night's episode was pretty bad. Just seemed like a couple of skits where people were just weird and wacky. A bit funny but kinda senseless. I'm guessing they're not hoping to get Tom Cruise to host anytime soon.

I didn't think it was terrible, but there were quite a few misfires last night. Thank goodness for Jebidiah Atkinson.

I thought it was mostly bad. I did like the college basketball announcers opening, but not much else.

This one was ok. I'm mostly just amazed that I didn't hate the second Florence and the Machine song and almost slightly liked the first one.

Aw, the little Kenan tag at the end reminded me that I'm going to miss him on SNL. ;_;

Kenan is not leaving, though

Oh, good!

he jokes a bit about that rumor on maron

Louis C.K. bits on racism and on pedophiles didn't work too well

yeah that set had like one good line and otherwise was just... flat

SNL studio audiences are dumb as fuck tho

I thought the routine was kind of dumb

I liked it but wasn't as "shocking" in light of an Aziz routine from a few years ago on the same topic.

Tracy Morgan hosting October 17.

Watched the Chris Farley doc the other night, I thought it was decent.

Miley Cyrus IS Patty Waters AS Charlemagne Palestine
