The best part was Mikey Day’s deadpan “Don’t worry-- I’m fine.”

I bought a bottle of Wal-Mart’s syrup some years back and it was, without exaggeration, one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t even finish the bottle, and I absolutely hate wasting food. It may have improved since, but I’ve never gone near the stuff again.

The comment section never fails to crack me up every week— the reviewer is just mean/jealous/grumpy/too much of a Lizzo superfan to be objective! And the commenters are just mean/jealous/grumpy/trying to be contrarian for the sake of it! It couldn’t be that people have different tastes or anything— they didn’t like a…

Both, really-- she wasn’t playing herself, she was playing a flute-playing stripper, but she really didn’t do much so it was more of a cameo.

At least one person used to tell Perkins this every single week, so it’s good to see consistency if nothing else.

I made up a fun drinking game for Name That Tune: take a shot every time Jane or Randy says “Love that.”

Whoever is directing this show really needs to be fired. It seems like the screw-ups happen on a weekly basis— here there were a few wrong camera cues called, one of which led to Conan’s entrance being screwed up, and the screen went to black two or three times. Someone’s been off their game for a while now.

I’m really not looking forward to another New York-specific musical number, they’ve really suffered from diminishing returns. “Diner Lobster” was great, and the bodega follow-up was arguably even better, but the last two I don’t think I even chuckled at. But now that people are expecting them, there’s no avoiding it.

Regarding the show’s timing being off: I will never understand why this seems to surprise some people, least of all the show’s crew themselves. Considering how they not only let the studio audience go wild with applause, but actually encourage it, multiple times every show: at the top of the cold open (when did that…

Perkins,: “Can’t SNL get through one monologue without it being a musical number or a Q&A from the audience sketch? They’ve run their course and we don’t need to see either of them again.”

Was that her name? Yeah, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

But it will undoubtedly be MacGruber.

“I do hope we get more stuff soon where Sarah can do something without yelling.”

I always thought that when Che laughed at his own jokes, it was because he had gotten a reaction from the audience and he was just reacting to that. But here there was virtually no studio audience... and he still laughed at his own jokes. So I guess he just really thinks he’s hysterical.

He was there for the monologue, trying to get into the Five-Timer’s Club (“But I’ve hosted the show, I swear!”) so I assume they just threw him in this sketch for the hell of it while he was already there.

I remember the episode when that first aired too, and I was kind of tickled seeing it again for the first time in years. Funny how that sketch seems long to people today when back then it was a pretty standard length.

First time here? Welcome.

I got the feeling it wasn’t really going for authenticity, rather doing what some kid on TikTok would do and find himself hilarious.

That seems to have been a regular thing for quite a while now, and honestly it has the opposite effect on me. The audience just goes wild with applause whenever certain people appear for the first time (Kate, Aidy and Pete mainly), before they’ve even done anything. And if a celebrity makes a cameo, they blow the roof…

It was probably the best book I read last year. I’m cautiously optimistic about the series, although I noticed one change already (they gave one character a kid when he didn’t have one in the book) but we’ll see.
