Do people find Longfellow funny?

I think he was one of the better cast members, which probably says more about Bowen Yang than it does about him

    Yeah, Eddie's imitation of Tracy Morgan standing next to Tracy Morgan was next level.

Ok yeah not Heidi and her tits. That's a loss.

She's got those nice tits on such a skinny frame you really can't tell if they're big or it's an illusion, but they're Def nice.  She will be missed.

Do people find Longfellow funny? I saw him last summer at Dallas Comedy Club and didn't laugh at one thing he said. The Dallas-area warm up comedian was funnier. (Dez O'Neal) 

Yeah.  He came into his own on his monolog type rants, on update.   Was also the best "game show host" type cast member imo

In all politeness, the only people that watch Shrinking are a handful of surly posters. I’ve never seen a more talked about show that nobody watches. 
 

- Have you watched Shrinking? I heard it’s really good.

- Nope. I haven’t seen it. 

- Cool. Neither have I.

End of conversation. 

You need better friends. It’s probably because you’re from Lake Travis.

Jason Segel’s dad confirmed. If you like the show so much, start a thread and encourage people to watch it. The adults are trying to talk SNL.

Dude you’re the one who went to the trouble of taking the thread off topic. I just questioned your choice of friends. 
 

Also this. 

And of course this.

You're the one who made Shrinking an issue here, SNL Derka. 

What’s Gardener on the Shrinking call list? Definitely not top 5.  Maybe she sneaks into the top 10. 

Most people would know her from the Homes.com commercials or SNL. To argue that she’s taking a step up with a bit part on a show that no one watches is asinine.

What's asinine is your reading ability.

This is what I wrote. You then launched into shitting on Shrinking since you don't watch it. 

She was on the first season of Shrinking and had a smaller guest role in the 2nd season. I'd imagine she's trying to parlay that into more sitcom stuff.

Eat a dick, Pam.

Longfellow looked like a guy who should be funny. Like in a weird Norm kind of way. But I don't remember ever laughing at anything he did, in three years.

I liked Longfellow. I’ll miss Heidi and her tits. Thank you for you attention in this matter.

Longfellow was in a tough spot. Funny/weird enough for a recurring Weekend Update role. Probably not talented enough to carry Weekend Update solo. That was the craziest SNL rumor in Reddit history. 
 

Dark game show host was probably his only lane for sketches. A couple of them reminded me of some Hader’s work. If A24 has a dark comedy, he should read for it. 

I think Longfellow was funniest his first time on WU. He had an great 3 minutes (or whatever it was) talking about his parents and Arizona.

Seems like PDD is over. One guy promoted to cast, one guy leaving altogether, one guy staying as a writer.

New cast members.

If Kam makes it past 1 episode I’ll be surprised.

1) Likes to use a certain word in every sentence.

2) Genuinely DGAF.

3) Crazy dad + a very large entourage. 
 

I know Lorne is gambling on the next Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock, but I’m not sure Kam has the talent to overcome the other stuff. It’s going to be like a bomb went off at 30 Rock when Kam rolls into town. 
 

Never change Lorne. Widely criticized for having too large of a cast, he says hold my cognac hires 5 more newcomers.

Don’t know anything about any of them, but the new girl is cute 

So Lorne takes the one thing that's consistently funny when actually given a shot, Please Don't Destroy, and breaks it up.

This is really unfortunate. Allegedly they’re going to keep working together, but not on SNL. I’d count us lucky if we got a few seasons of digital shorts and another movie on Peacock. 

I've seen some clips from Kam Patterson, including on Kill Tony, and he's pretty funny, but sort of one note. Not sure how or if it can translate to sketch comedy, but we'll see I guess. 

Killing PDD is unfortunate. If it works, don't fuck with it.

I loved Kam at first, but then he just gets repetitive. Same jokes over and over again. I absolutely do not see how he fits in with SNL.

PDD was the funniest thing on SNL in years.  Lorne is Jerry Jones at this point.  

Well always have PDD’s Original Princes or Comedy. The HBCU sweatshirts killed me. Rest in Power Smoke Dog.

Does SNL have a salary cap? Why on earth would you get rid of Heidi Gardner and her tits and keep Wickline?

I will say she's had 2 SNL skits(and only on there) that actually made me laugh. 

The one where she sings a "strait man" song like about Taylor Swift.

But especially when she plays the shy introverted nerdy GF with over the top crazy marcello...both of those skits made even my wife laugh(and she's got no sense of humor)

First time seeing this and it's hilarious OMG.

Mulaney absolutely dying on stage and only the white dork laughing killed me.

Wickline is not funny and a deer in the headlights on camera.

Technically, the PDD guys are nepos.  But, they are truly funny and talented.  Seems a strange decision to take them off.

Yeah I think J.D. is the son of Higgins (announcer and Fallon's straight man) on the Tonight Show.  But they are among the best things that's been on SNL the last few years.

Correct on both counts.

Dammit.

 

Fuck this just came out?  They said the rest were staying...that's a loss.

And last season was the one where she was finally becoming one of the main cast members...one to look forward to.

Wow, that blows.  She was one of the few cast members who seemed to really give it her all.  And she's gorgeous to boot.

Miss Eggy was a beacon of originality on the SNL landscape. She'll do fine in movies. Will be missed.

Wickline will have to pick up a bunch of slack with both Ego and Heidi gone. She’ll probably need to be featured in every sketch.

Fixed it for you.  Could be wrong, but based upon SNL past history get ready for a high dose of Wickline.

A bit tangential, but I think the Hollywood alternatives for departing cast members has dried up considerably because Hollywood doesn't make comedies anymore, particularly risky ones. What hell would Chevy Chase and Will Ferrell even be in now?  They don't make movies like Fletch or Vacation and certainly not Old School or Wedding Crashers.  SNL might be the top floor now.

I think sitcoms and streaming shows are the venue for SNL people now. That's where you find former cast members like Beck Bennett, Bobby Moynihan, Taran Killam, Cecily Strong and Alex Moffat. They also do a lot of voice work for animated shows.

If you're a white dude who did Update you will probably get a talk show.

That's really my point.  The big stars from SNL that went on to become household names in days gone by would now be in some apple streaming show that no one watches.
