Saturday Night Live

I bet Kristen Stewart could do an amazing Kyle Mooney impersonation.

classic skit and he was very good in it

I think it's the extra-snl stuff of Mooney's I've seen that really turned me off him

Brigsby Bear >>>>>> anything KM has done on SNL

The Chantix skit is funny but the rest of these are absolutely dire.

real dutch hip-hoop!

I mean that was definitely a kind of throwaway character but I still find myself yelling RRREAL HIP-HOOOOOP! in the car.

this just popped up again:

kristen wigg remains snl GOAT

The other day I stumbled across a hilarious interview on YouTube with Hader, Seth Meyers, and Armisen about their Documentary Now! show and I ended up spending the rest of my workday listening to Bill Hader interviews. Guy's a treat.

Not a day goes by that I don't find myself thinking about MC Strategy.

Once again Cecily just towers over everyone else

lotta strong sketches this week

The first half mostly. Fell apart towards the end. Sentimental xmas video was great. Ornaments skit was surprisingly funny.

Damon with his Good Will Hunting haircut, lol.

Pretty enjoyable episode! Nothing particularly memorable or spectacular. Weekend Update was pretty good, with the joke exchange. The mix on the second Miley song was ridiculous, 99% her vocal, arrgh

Heidi is a star.

loved to see the return of The Wife of a Boxer in Every Boxing Movie Ever

It helps a lot when they have a host who can actually do stuff.

Gotta say, the Miley performance was bad even by the standards of an SNL performance

I enjoyed last night's show. The Millenial Millionaires, the Urn. Nothing totally LOL (except maybe Mulaney).

Agreed that this was an uncommonly and consistently funny episode. The Mule bit was fantastic.

The video is linked in this review if you live somewhere that doesn't block it (eg, not Canada):

yeah, those jokes about buzzfeed were lazy and not funny. ^^^ Even just remembering how they broke the orphanage thing, the dossier and printed the Brock Turner letter off the top of my head.

They really need to get rid of Jost and Che.

I guess I'm in the minority in liking Jost and Che. They fit the template of preppy smugness first established by Chevy Chase for Update, and they're constant attempts to one-up each other are usually great.

they both suck and jost as head writer is a drag on this show

otm on them sucking and the head writer thing.

Che is not great but Jost is the fucking pits

it's like they are both playing the straight man. I think Jost plays a good-to-great straight man but still this is not a good formula!

I really really want some lower back spikes. Dipped in poison.

Jost has been moralizing more lately, I liked him more when he was Norm-lite

The name change office sketch, for being a bunch of super-cheap and easy jokes, really made me laugh.

Oh yeah, I laughed at that. Especially since my brothers and I have rhyming names so I was like HEY!

I've seen an exceptional amount of anti-SNL chatter tonight but can't tell why?

nvm I am once again sorry I asked

Keep being asked if this is real. Sorry! pic.twitter.com/sCQ981xia8

oh dear lord

There were a couple of okay sketches last night--the one where Kenan Thompson played a middle aged dad with a popular amateur porn account displayed an astonishing awareness of contemporary gay lingo--but SNL's current attempts at topical humour are almost never not awful.

That Women of Congress sketch was fucking terrible and gives credence to that piece about SNL's cold opens being god awful political propaganda (I know this wasn't a cold open). Them Trumps at least has a joke in it; that had zero.

Thank god Kenan is still on this show because he saves basically every skit he's in these days (so does Kate McKinnon). This season has been pretty crappy.

i wonder if theyll ever cancel this show

I'm curious who wrote "Women of Congress". Dreadful indeed

I do like Kate McKinnon's Wilbur Ross, who is basically just her Guiliani with a more frozen face

still baffled by love for for Kenan Thompson and his one-note obviousness+loud schtick

the man has been doing nothing but sketch comedy for 25 years straight, give him a break

i wonder if theyll ever cancel this show

nope. the production costs are really cheap for the ad revenue it generates. even if ratings crash for a season or two they'll retool it, recast it, or rebrand it and try to keep it going. its a money thing.

He’s leaving to host a variety sketch show of some sort or competition or something.

thank god

Is he leaving? The show's on NBC, probably for the summer season. He can do both.

to everyone hating on SNL so much: you try working with 30 other people to come up with ~40 minutes of funny material every week and you have no other commitments and it's your full-time job and it pays pretty good. not as easy as it looks.

aaand it's only 21 weeks/yr

that Family Feud sketch had to be the worst version they've ever done, right?

Also feel bad for Don Cheadle for hosting such a lame ep

That Lollipop sketch was one of my favorite this season.

That was good. So were the Roach-Ex and Puppy Pound fake ads, the cake competition, Fresh Takes (the school show with the loose-lipped teacher), and Beck Bennet's Jules thing on Update. I thought this was the best episode in a while.

best game show sketch of the year so far, even if it was a little clunky in spots

also Toilet Death Ejector

That game show was so great. John Mulaney should host every year.
