And a link to said interview, so people don’t have to type “conchata ferrell random roles” into Google to find it:

If SNL had any courage at all, they would have had Baldwin’s Trump trying to seduce Canteen Boy.

I’m going to guess that the reason there was no Barr cold open (or any political satire at all outside of a few Update jokes) was a sop to Sandler’s fan base. I’m betting his mainly white, suburban frat bro fans skew more Republican than the average SNL viewer. The show was going to get a ratings bump this week, so…

“after being accused of [after having pled guilty to] sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl”

My first thought - Marisa Tomei as Edith Bunker? Isn’t she too young for that?

I was hoping it would have been “Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain...” since it’s a rare finale that shows the hero using his wits and ingenuity to defeat an opponent, rather than their power/strength/skill.

This did seem like a final goodbye to Jason. Sure, there can be another Quentin from another timeline but that seems like a guest starring role. This certainly seems not only like a death that sticks but also final goodbye. He isn’t like Penny 40 - there is no million years Library contract. He gets his Metro card…

Just the fact that they didn’t go through with Barry snapping and “choking” Sally left me pretty damn speechless. This may just very well be the most wildly unpredictable series on TV right now, and that only makes it all the more terrifyingly good.

Ego’s line read on that was perfect. I’m still giggling.

I could not stop laughing at the video game sketch, especially when they started adding response options. “X: Get real with a bitch. A: No drama. B: Skip.” It was just so good. 

The videogame sketch was one of the most inventive sketches SNL has done in a while. It’s the kind of thing that could have been on Key & Peele.

As a person who sees a lot of herself in “You Stupid Bitch,” it’s incredibly validating to know that those thoughts aren’t only mine. It takes a destructive, intensely personal thought pattern and underlines it as being commonplace and impermanent, IMO. It’s not self-flagellation as a positive, it’s shared experience…

By the end of the show, I was a nervous wreck! It seems absolutely impossible that Barry can make it through the season without getting caught. That is, unless Loach gets distracted by the new cop who becomes his love interest.

I read that last year, it was a good time (especially if, like me, you like all the British folk-rock bands of the era that are being loosely invoked).

One of my favorite novels to re-read on a rainy day (or, since I live in on the Gulf Coast, when I’m holed up during a hurricane) is Elizabeth Hand’s Wylding Hall. It’s an oral history of a folk band recalling how they wrote and recorded an album in the early ‘70s at an ancient country estate in the south of England.…

Alex literally said: “They’re long dead, so frankly, it doesn’t make much of a difference any more, except in a socio-historical way, if you were trying to trace the cultural lineage of cruelty or oppression or what have you. You don’t have to feel bad about liking good art made by those bad guys; they’re dead!”

She's an actress doing a bit with an obnoxious reality tv star for an awards show. This was before the birther shit. Do you ever not cone up with the most spiteful, off-base take? Is this a gimmick account where the gimmick is 'sucking'?

Even though she gets nowhere near the attention of Kate McKinnon, ive thought she’s been the most talented cast member for a while now- specifically at creating women about 5 seconds away from a complete breakdown.

I think it’s far more likely that Davidson didn’t have anything on the show, but they had him introduce Miley to show him on-camera and head off any rumors that he was unwell (or at least unwell enough to be off the show).

Can I interest you in... Time-Traveling Scott Joplin?!?
