Every time I see Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant come out and just start laughing at whatever they’re saying almost from the get go, I compare that to Mikey Day and Alex Moffat nailing every Trump Brothers sketch I can remember. Day is an excellent straight man that serves whatever skit he’s in really well. (The Eddie…
Guy who doesn’t know how paragraphs works expects live performances to be flawless.
The direction, especially the missed camera cues, was noticeable last night. Just sloppy stuff.
Are you and Dennis having a word count contest?

The “N.F.T.” skit didn’t feature “Robin, for some reason.” That was actually an extended parody of Eminem’s “Without Me” video with Pete as Eminem, peroxide hair and all. As to the reason, you got me.
And while a 20-year-old music video seems a bizarre object to parody, you’re “Gen X old,” Perkins. If ANY demographic…
“There weren’t any bad sketches...”
Fucking Starro.
This looks surprisingly good.
I still remember the SNL where Garth hosted and Chris Gaines was the musical guest, and they edited it so that when it came time for the musical segments, one of them introduced the other.
RELEASE THE SCRATCHY CUT!
OK, it was Cliff. Sorry to have been left hanging.
? Didn't woo call his friend Cliff?
