how was he never a cast member? granted there was a talent there when he was a writer, but stillHe is a much, much better performer with a lot more stage experience than he was 11 years ago?Here he is this week talking about his first onscreen SNL appearance: https://youtu.be/-BAcIdzPgAs

I watched 5 seconds of the musical guest singing, went NOPE, and FF'd it.
The Bodega Man sketch part with the 'man who doesn't work there but is watching soccer on tv'...omg.

I remember when they brought him out to do a weekend update bit when he was a writer. He looked like he was 12. I agree, he probably wasn’t ready!
― dan selzer, Monday, 4 March 2019 17:57 (five years ago) link
I bet he’s working on a new hour because his monologue was funnier than his entire last comedy special.

Macro dosing film critic had me in stitches. Pretty spotty episode otherwise though nephew skit was great and I have to admit touchy Biden was good.

All of Weekend Update was better than average. Aidy was so good in the nephew sketch.

All in all pretty good one although harrington is as good at comedy as he is at other kinds of acting.

SNL's politics are conservative/reactionary, just like any org with a rich 74-yo Democrat at the helm

I love the AV Club's SNL recap/reviews because the dude who writes them is literally enraged, every week, that he had to take 90 minutes out of his week to watch jokes that were not about how Donald Trump is the most evil person in human history and should be subject to mob execution.

another dire episode with maybe two funny bits. I'm old and have no idea who BTS are but I agree with teenagers across the world that they were the best thing on the show.

Michael Che defended his co-host with a foul-mouthed twitter attack on the writer of this article
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 20 April 2019 04:02 (five years ago) link
che and jost are both terrible. che just thinks being mean-spirited and mumbly is edgy humor, but it just makes him a dickhead who is difficult to understand
― be the 2 chainz you want 2 see in the world (m bison), Saturday, 20 April 2019 04:04 (five years ago) link
Che probably didn’t like the line in the article about him being only slightly funnier than Jost.

Kinda thin-skinned for someone in his line of work, and his response is not really funny either . But Lorne apparently likes both he and Jost, so they have nothing to worry about

I agree, but you gotta factor in the opportunity cost of who's not there/what you're missing
― rip van wanko, Saturday, 20 April 2019 20:50 (five years ago) link
That should be more of a factor when deciding whether or not to watch Saturday Night Live, rather than when deciding who should be on Saturday Night Live.

wtf Jost is easily the best cast member besides McKinnon rn, not saying much but I like his watered down Norm MacDonald schtick fine. now I will read this article... "sucking off stray dogs" is a good line tbh

TS: Worst Scarlett Johansson decision: Ghost in the Shell or dating Colin Jost.
― Yerac, Saturday, 20 April 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link
Hyden coming back to Jost and Johansson dating again and again in that article is really lame, but he's clearly a fan of his show (his baseball club is otm and how I feel about SNL, albeit as a much more casual fan/observer). Can't say I disagree with much else, I didn't know Jost was an Ivy League boy, that changes things considerably imo.

I saw a bunch of Ghost In The Shell on Hulu. It wasn't nearly as terrible as the cultural appropriation outrage police made it out to be. I hold her working with Woody Allen three times against her way more than GitS.

also I think it's weird that anyone is so strongly anti-Che/Jost, they're about average when it comes to being shit at Weekend Update
Chevy Chase made his SNL bones a host of Weekend Update and he was pretty bad, too.
