September 27, 20214 yr Bowen Yang is great on Nora from Queens because they use him correctly and well Awkwafina is a better writer than anyone currently employed by SNL. Edited September 27, 20214 yr by billfromlaketravis
September 28, 20214 yr 40 minutes ago, longhornmatt said: They made the cast larger?!? I’m not even mad. That’s amazing. They could whittle that cast down from 21 (WTF?) to about 8 people and lose absolutely nothing. This. Lorne's response to criticism that last season's cast was too large and unwieldly is to add more cast members. Never change.
September 28, 20214 yr 12 minutes ago, longhornmatt said: And it’s not even like he made wholesale changes. It’s just the same people, again, with a couple more big players who will never be in a sketch in a meaningful role. Are we sure some of these people in the cast really still work on the show? Like, did Melissa Villasenor actually leave 2 years ago and she still gets a credit because of some HR glitch or weird SAG union rule? Nobody knows. So we fixed the glitch.
September 28, 20214 yr I had to double check that Melissa Villasenor is still on the cast. I like her, I'm not sure why, but I notice when she's in stuff and it's pretty rare. Pete Davidson is another weird one, although at least there's an explanation there (and he usually has a handful of sketches a season that are all/mostly him).

September 29, 20214 yr This skit was pretty funny. “How much ya bench” was the common greeting among my college teammates for a few weeks after it aired. https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/how-much-ya-bench/2860981 Edited September 29, 20214 yr by HornPhD

September 29, 20214 yr It's not everyone's cup of tea, but Sarah Sherman performs as Sarah Squirm and is into live-action Ren and Stimpy levels of gross bodily comedy and overacting. No idea how or if they'll incorporate any of that into the show, but it would be WILD if they did. Like people turning off the TV and writing actual, physical letters, wild.

September 29, 20214 yr Regarding Pete Davidson, hasn’t he tagged some of Hollywood’s finest? Awkward, not super handsome fuck. Dude must have a hog

I don’t know the whole deal but I don’t think HR would let them can me for being suicidal and if that’s how they roll at snl that’s ok with me. People hate on him and he seems like an easy guy to hate in but he has some funny moments as well

I hadn’t looked up who the new cast members are. Guess they found the new guy to take over dad roles from beck bennett
October 3, 20214 yr Cold open sucked. Owen Wilson's monologue was decent. Cars 4 skit was legit funny. School Board meeting was spot on. Weekend Update killed. Nice Norm tribute, but could have used more OJ jokes. Nana's funeral made me lulz. Joe Buck impersonation was great. Mail in stool test was meh but did have a Chris Redd sighting. Kacey Musgraves was great. B-
October 4, 20214 yr I thought it was a fairly good episode. Also wanted to add, that Aidy Bryant’s Old Navy commercial is maybe the worst commercial on TV
October 5, 20214 yr I hadn’t looked up who the new cast members are. Guess they found the new guy to take over dad roles from beck bennett James Austin Johnson had one of the strongest debut episodes I can remember. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

They’re definitely pushing him in as many skits as possible. Just watched the Kim K episode from this past weekend. She was a tremendously awful host.
October 11, 20214 yr I'll give her credit, she seemed to commit to hosting at least. She hit her marks, read her lines at the right pace, and knew when to step back and let the funny people be funny. She obviously had to sign off on about a dozen jokes at her expense as well. She's not remotely funny, has no sense of delivery, and seems to be completely void of any talent whatsoever despite having been surrounded by artistic talents for decades. I don't like that they burned a hosting slot that should have gone to someone funny...but that's where the country is and Lorne knows that.
October 11, 20214 yr The Kim K episode was probably the worst episode of SNL I've seen in recent memory. Thoroughly unfunny the entire episode, and it wasn't all on Kim. The writing and performances on this show are just very shitty. Everyone is just mailing it in for the big paycheck/lack of accountability. No one is willing to challenge themselves and go for it with a new character. Bowen Yang's Iceberg being one of the lone exceptions. I suspect SNL gets a pretty decent number every week because viewers watch it out of habit. Next day on Hulu probably helps a lot as well. SNL is about an hour without ads. It's a quick watch on Sunday.
October 11, 20214 yr I dunno fellas, I’m near the mall and could go for a JC Penney’s Hard Seltzer right about now.
October 11, 20214 yr I thought Kim K did ok. The monologue was pretty good. I liked her character in the lottery skit. The old chicks in the club was pretty funny.
October 12, 20214 yr I had low expectations with Kk as the host and my expectations were exceeded. She is a bad actor not funny and has very little personality. The writers did a good job of putting her in characters that had no personality or even having to move. She could stare blank faced and read lines .

October 13, 20214 yr I have the slightest amount of respect for Kim K for allowing them to write a bunch of jokes for her monologue that poke at everything everyone was already thinking. Still working my way through episode 2 of this season, but I did see a clip of the… whatever they’re calling the new SNL Digital Short guys, and it was funny and had enough absurdity to make me eager to see what kind of other shit they do.
October 13, 20214 yr You talking about the Hard Seltzer sketch? That was the highlight of the episode for me. I think one of the guys in it was a writer and the other two are new cast/featured players. Even for a 10-to-1 sketch, I thought it was the funniest. And they rarely use that slot for a pre-recorded piece. But it was also a callback for something that would have come out of a coke-out marathon writing session in the old days. Belushi, Aykroyd, and Murray sitting around thinking of something silly for the 10-to-1 and it's 3:00a on Friday morning. Belushi's looking at all the empty bottles around the room, wondering why there's so many brands of light beer. Three lines later, the Jiffy Lube Hard Seltzer is born. I noticed McKinnon wasn't in it at all. She filming a movie I take it?
October 17, 20214 yr I fell asleep during the one word musical journey, but thought it was a pretty entertaining episode otherwise.
October 17, 20214 yr I posted my comment before Weekend Update. Bowen Yang as the gay Oompa Loompa was fucking hilarious.
October 17, 20214 yr One of the funniest SNLs in a long time. The impressions in the game show were all great

October 17, 20214 yr Is that for real, a marshmallow flavored drink with alcohol in it? If ever there was an appropriate time for "Who are the Ad Wizards who came up with this one?' I mean, that just screams "hangover diarrhea !!!!!" Hey fellas, remember that time as a kid you ate so many s'more at summer camp, your tummy got upset and you threw up in your bunk and all the other kids made fun of you until camp ended? Well, now imagine time traveling to give your 9-year old self several shots of tequila to go with it?!? New from Budweiser!

Leading into it they had a title "Please Don't Destroy" - hopefully these guys are tryna be the new Lonely Island

October 24, 20214 yr Jason Sudeikis episode is awesome. Cold open was pretty meh, but a nice callback. Monologue got kinda dusty. Science Room has me in tears. Annie skit was funny. Parent / Teacher conference was great. Jake's non-stick underwear was good. Brandi Carlile was great. Weekend Update was fantastic with a visit from The Devil. The return of What's Up With That? (Halloween Edition). Writing of the Declaration of Independence was good. Indecent Proposal was funny. Easily the best episode of the last several seasons. A+
