what do you mean? please elaborate

But didn't they just sacrifice Cheryl for the sake of Cherlene?
I view this as a negative

AD reference? I thought it was Weeds. Or maybe it's not a self-conscious reference and just the law

Yes, it's fascinating and bizarre someone should mention it:
Sometime around the Monroe administration, abolitionists in the US funded some freed slaves to go back to Africa, they landed in Monrovia and rather than live peacefully with the natives, they ended up disproving any notion that people can be inherently good…

I'm devestated with the Ron-Mallory break-up. How can you consider it a good thing Sonia? That means an awesome character is disappearing.

The Golden Globes is some 90-odd part-time journalists who shouldn't be taken seriously. They just finangled their way into a TV deal with NBC in the 70's and its often just a coincidence that their awards line up with other awards most of the time if you look at it statistically. In the vent that they do something…

Well, a show is richer with emotional investment. That's my take on it….
(is writing three dots at the end of your last sentence your way of being condescending?)

yeah, but it worked on a meta-level since as most of us are agreeing that Melissa McCarthy is kind of overplaying the "dumb/hostile" persona she has and has been invading SNL with it

ooohhhhhh, that actually makes sense.

I think this is one of the moments I'm most ashamed of my AV Club discussion board membership. You guys realize the web site isn't endorsing Rob Thomas' music or anything. All he's doing is appearing in a photo with Bill Murray and Aaron Paul and this is making some of you angry? Does he not have a right to be there?

in all fairness, I did not see hot rod

it's not her last episode yet, but either before season's end or the season finale is her last episode. she's contracted to star on mulaney's show which got picked up

Yeah, Nasim had a pretty memorable run. She was overshadowed a lot, but she got some memorable characters.

Chappelle is pre-Seth Meyers.
I don't think SNL has taken a nosedive. I think 2008-2011 it was pretty strong and now it's been rebuilding a little bit.

I actually like Seth Meyers a lot as a stand-up comic and looked forward to him hosting the ESPYs as well as the White House Correspondence Dinner and I think he hit both those performances out of the park.

Are we going to have to rewrite history and say that Andy Samberg is some comic genius now that he won a Golden Globe (through a sheer fluke, IMO). I think he's a capable actor and shined in his Digital Sketches corner but I don't see him being a great movie or even TV leading man. He's possibly one of the worst…

I think it's very very difficult to get a consensus on anything. Did you like the post-Kristen Wiig era? Did you like the Kristen Wiig era? Did you like the years in which Bill Hader and Andy Samberg were starting to take the spotlight after Fey, Sanz, Parnell and Dratch left. All those years were Seth Meyers, so…

Yeah, I hang around the imdb board for SNL and they can hardly agree on anything but one person posted something to this effect and there were something like 9 people just saying "I agree with you."

please tell us….what was the original open?

Actually, I thought that was one of the most idiosyncratic things I'd ever seen on the show. In other words, I found it bizarre and didn't laugh, bet I'm guessing some people out there liked it. His mind seemed to be working slower than most people who do man on the street situations. Was that part of the joke? If so,…
