Mindy Kaling would just drag it down with her inconsistent characterizations and obsession with pop culture. Aparna Nancherla deserves better.

Sheldon as an adult acting like a stunted child is only mildly amusing at best; Sheldon as a child acting like a brat no one wants to hang out with is pretty much guaranteed to be unwatchable.
Of course he should be doing his job instead of watching tv all day. I'm saying SNL can do better than writing lazy sketches to annoy him. They're all the same, he hasn't responded to one in months, and it takes time away from what could be better sketches.
"But Trump’s watching, you’re doing political comedy, Trump hates jokes at his expense—these are rare opportunities being squandered."
Personally I've always wanted to see a spinoff where Mantzoukas' Rafi gets transported backwards in time somehow and gets mistaken for Jesus a la Life of Brian. Rafi as Jesus is everything I could want in entertainment.
Am I the only one who noticed that the Waitress's haircut was basically the same as Charlie's mom's, and Charlie now finds himself in the position of (maybe) having impregnated a woman with a child he doesn't want. It seems pretty intentional although maybe it's obvious to everyone else and I am just dumb.
To be fair, half the articles on the AV Club are just "go read this article on this other website while we summarize the headlines."
At this point in technology, do we really need a person inside the robot? It's basically a trash can attached to a Roomba that beeps.
It just makes it look like Alec Baldwin doesn't really understand how to do the best Trump, which I think is probably true.
Disappointed that Joey Alexander didn't pick up the win for Best Jazz Album; "Countdown" is simply phenomenal.
I guess SNL's primary goal now is annoying the president rather than being funny or interesting.
Repeating the same joke over and over again doesn't make it funnier.
Yeah, that's really one of SNL's biggest drawbacks, they feel the need to bluntly explain stuff that should just be left to the visual gag.
here's a question: why even have a Bannon character at all? If Bannon's real personality is not interesting (or likable) enough to lambast, then any parody of him is just going to be the audience projecting whatever their feelings about Bannon are onto him. Frankly I'd like them to move away from the one-note Trump…
Yeah, she has a really off-putting delivery. She seems like somebody that's probably really funny in a one-on-one scenario where they're comfortable but she never looks comfortable on SNL and as a result her parts always come off as awkward and unnatural.
Dreamworks hasn't made a decent animated movie since Bee Movie in 2007; it is high time for that studio to go bankrupt and leave computer animation to companies that actually know how to make a good movie.
The biggest problem I had with the Sean Spicer sketch is that it was more or less exactly the same as last week's Sean Spicer sketch only 15% zanier. SNL is really bad about finding something that kind of works and then just doing it over and over again with little to no variation.
I think it's problematic when a show like SNL makes its primary objective annoying the President. Some of the sketches are funny, sure, but it gets old quickly and they rely waaaay too heavily on it. I'd much rather them do Kellyanne Conway sketches rather than Trump ones.
Her?
Except that every Trump sketch is exactly the same and barely deviates from the actual events & headlines. It's amusing the first time; after that it just becomes more running a decent gag into the ground.
