Saturday Night Live

the View sketch was a timing mess; there was this weird sustained silence near the end where I couldn't tell WTF was going on.

honestly I wish I time travel and stop "Lazy Sunday" from happening, these rap skits need to stop

ok but can alec baldwin be retired first ugh

as i noted in the other SNL thread, Gilda died 30 years ago today.

Believe or not, I hadn't seen this until yesterday. Michael told me that he and Belushi smoked some of Tom Davis' weed before going on. And I have the jacket O'D's wearing. (Thanks to @Franksantopadre and Kliph Nesteroff @ClassicShowbiz for the find.) https://t.co/P7Hwn9oQca

three new snl castmembers: bowen yang (from twitter), shane gillis, and chloe fineman

https://www.vulture.com/2019/09/snl-cast-bowen-yang-chloe-fineman-shane-gillis.html

saw a comment that yang is the first out gay cast member since terry sweeney??? that's nuts

wait mckinnon. i guess they meant out gay male cast member.

nothing can save this show

maybe Lorne's death

John Milhiser, who lasted a single season in 2013-14, was gay.

thank god they fired Leslie Jones, I'm not sure she ever made it through a show without fucking up her lines

lol, of all the opinions

she was terrible though

thought she was one of the only funny people on the show last time i caught an ep but ymmv

she's fine when she gets her lines right

when i catch old sketches i'm pretty impressed by the ability of the casts to keep a straight face in skits that are ten times as funny as whatever mediocrity the present cast can't stop breaking into laughter over.

Yes

LJ's regular stammering and misreading of cue cards would've gotten p much anyone else fired back then and probably now too

Leslie Jones had an esprit that more than made up for her technical gaffes imo

she is pretty charismatic. I just rewatched Ghostbusters this weekend and it was a lot funnier than I remembered it being.

also I'm biased towards her bc she old (and a woman, and black...)

Cool, 1/3rd of the new hires fucking sucks. Guess which o... it's the doughy white dude.

today SNL announced the hiring of its first cast member of East Asian descent, and also this guy pic.twitter.com/0FAGJZJUkK

yeah this is most certainly already over

if i remember rightly that other guy on that podcast is a aped also

this guy will not appear on snl

is a paedo that should read

oh wait i think I'm mixing him up with someone else in the orbit of cum town

Ok, that guy now takes Kyle Mooneys place as my most hated snl member.

ahahahahahahhhahhhahaha

GREAT job, Lorne

I like Leslie Jones but being an ensemble cast member with specific things to do (apart from Being Leslie Jones) is not her strong suit and never was.

Tell it to worthless Pete Davison.

him too

I think I am still kind of mad about that Bobby Hill boiled hotdog motherfucker Shane Gillis.

i like shane gillis but it's a weird choice getting a guy that spent the past few years making daddy trump is doing a great job irony shit on his podcast and everywhere else to write on snl. first cast member that dips citrus skoal.

is that a skit about moron podcasters?

I can't even figure out his schtick. It's like edgelord boomer humor?

boomer?

like, he's a youngish guy but his humor is tired dad jokes.

mixed in with rush week talent show.

wait this is a new SNL cast member? sounds extremely dire!!

I have never heard this word "nooders" before.

please just tell me what that means don't make me look it up

so Eddie Murphy will be guest hosting this year, and presumably reviving some characters that are almost 40 years old

suddenly "I'm Gumby, dammit" seems like a masterwork in the current context

they are talking about noodles, and according to urban dictionary it's supposed to be saying noodles with an asian accent or a derogatory term for an asian person. I totally overlooked it because of the chink, MSG, dishonest cuisine and ducks in window commentary.

xp. when was the last time you watched SNL morbs?

like, most of the show? when Betty White hosted.

i don't have TV now, but whenever i see a sketch online and watch it (maybe twice a year), it's always the worst thing ever. Adam Driver's gay p0rn bit at least gave me a stiffie.

haha! I was about to say I bet you watched the adam driver one.

betty white most recently hosted in 2010, I'm assuming that's not the one you're referring to.

i mean the show does bite but you have to watch to hate, it's the rules

xp ty yerac, that is...not funny

yes that was the Betty White one. It had one funny sketch with her and Tina Fey, and the rest was "lol Grandma has sex"

I saw ONE Driver sketch, Yerac. Love has its limits.
