Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Geez, what a trainwreck of an episode. There were a couple standout moments - the Jay-Z story was particularly great, and Casablanca was Kate McKinnon being awesome as per usual - but I did a literal facepalm when Che bombed his FIRST LINE. His FIRST LINE. That's his ONE JOB. The song fell flat, Weekend Update was…
