Did you really use Gilmore Girls as a reference for will-they-won't-they? Not Sam and Diane, Rachel and Ross or anything people (me) don't have to google to understand? If you have to google them your references are bad.

If you read one of the books about SNL, a lot of cast members get screen time by writing sketches to star themselves or working with the writers to create such a sketch. Writers at the end of the day are going to write for A) who can do it best and B) who they like, and cast need to be involved and generating good…

Why does Sasheer deserve more? If you want her on screen more that's fine, but I find the use of "deserves" confusing considering she hasn't done anything yet to warrant her deserving anything. You do the crappy bit parts and eventually you either get a role or you write a role that puts you center or off-center stage…

A good writing team will help, but you still need basic charisma. Stephen Colbert has charisma on his tv show or off it, he could anchor a show like that. Seth Meyers has never struck me as charismatic and that is probably why he has never really been pulled away from SNL to do outside projects. It's not solely that…

Eh I think Meyers will be gone in two years. On SNL the ratings can't nosedive on him alone and as long as it shuffles on and he is long-time buds with Lorne, he keeps his position as inoffensive Update anchor. As host of a nightly show, he is solely responsible for the success and he will fail badly. This is of…

It seems to be more rose-tinted glasses here, "Oh the guy is leaving after so long, let's say he was awesome". Noone genuinely likes Seth Meyers, if he were any good at what he does he would have left a long time ago for film and/or television like every other successful cast member.

A-. Did you fast forward through that awkwardly embarrassing museum sketch or the other tepid ones? Women's group was funny but A-? Seems like you're rating it higher because it was Meyers send off. I was happy when I saw a post for a clip featuring his send off (prior to watching the ep) because this meant it was his…

Seemed to be quite a few sketches that got no response last night, particularly the Nancy Grace one, and I hope I'm not the only one who saddened and shocked when they announced Meyers name as Weekend Update opened, I really thought he was gone :(

Dialogue was fine for me.

Another great episode, loving the music too. But I had to eye roll when in the last moments of an otherwise solid episode, the tech nerd broke out of a secure facility surrounded by automated cops because she grew up in apparently another world where mega criminals let you go because you don't remember why they want…

I would have liked an extended episode at least, FG get's them all the time. So many quotes:

The grade was pretty fair for once, that was a long series of boring and unfunny sketches. It doesn't help that Fallon ruined sketches as a performer, now he is ruining them as a host.

That audience was incredibly obnoxious, especially the one who kept screaming during the cold open.

If this is last seasons Xmas episode though then where it this seasons? Do we get two? Please say we get two!

Only 5 minutes in but an awesome episode, from Stan and Francine locking eyes with the Boobers waitress to Steve dismantling his fort before instantly going into another one.

McFarland reviews shows based on what he thinks they should be rather than the actual content therein. That's why he's the best reviewer for people not looking for reviews.

Ah but do you still hear Christmas in Hollis today BECAUSE of Die Hard's longevity?

Santiago is so hot. That is all.

Because of the slug? Seemed like friendly ribbing to me. I'm just going off the episode production codes.

No, this was the 4th episode aired, but it is the 7th episode produced.
