Again, a pre-recorded piece suggests that the show should dispense with the “live.”

Molly Kearny has big Chris Farley energy. Which I guess basically makes her Melissa McCarthy. Either way, I loved her in the taped sketch.

Not sure if anyone noticed but there was kind of a weird moment between Mikey Day and Chloe Fineman in that History Channel sketch. When he went to point out something on the map he had to kind of reach past Chloe to do it, like she hadn’t moved out of the way enough, and he did kind of a passive-aggressive gesture on…

Hey, they’ve got to use the blood hose at least once every couple years to keep it running.

Unless I missed something, didn’t the googly-eyes sketch mean Sarah had to do the entire sketch *blind*? So no cue card help, and she couldn’t miss bumping into or pulling the right (or is that wrong) thing. Respect for that.

>>Overall it....it was an episode alright lol. But I did like the new guy in the final parts of weekend update<<

may suggest that SNL is having a hard time attracting A-list talent to host

I thought the show was terrible. The opening had its charm but it was just more of the same. The only bright spots were the high school taped bit, some of the Update jokes and Willow, who absolutely kicked ass. Although the guitar-into-TV bit was way too scripted as you noted. And yes, what a waste of Colin Farrell.

Probably mass delusion... lol

No...

Holy fuck...was this season written entirely by boomers? What the fuck? Was Amy Schumer funny before or was it just a mass delusion?

If I never hear about a director being a dick to a female actor, it’ll be too soon. It’s always “he hit her to get the reaction he wanted (Mickey Rourke/Carre Otis and whoever directed Wild Orchid), he told her her boyfriend died to get the reaction he wanted (Valerie Perrine on Lenny), he raped her to get the…

I’ve heard that a lot of the conflict with Russell isn’t as much about him being mean to the stars so much as being really, brutally mean to the crew. That was supposedly what got him into the fistfight with Clooney on Three Kings. Which is why it’s natural for Christian “You and me, we’re fucking done,…

The trend lately seem to be promoting execs who only worked on “unscripted content” (aka reality shows) into positions where they now control scripted content as well that they don’t understand anything about.

You mean since Kent Alterman left and this hack took over. And yup.

You see, Roman Polanski raped a child behind closed doors. Will Smith slapped a tacky comedian on camera during an awards show. Clearly Will Smith is the viler person.

“…but one would think that he assassinated President Lincoln for all the continued fuss about what went down in that theater...”

You are arguing that it WAS a bad call, not that it WASN’T. Here’s an example of an argument claimed to be impossible: “It was the most entertaining thing to happen during the ceremony since they read the wrong envelope for Best Picture”.

If you actually look at the whole slap thing from a non-Hollywood executive and/or Twitter-brained perspective, it’s really genuinely funny. 

Check out the fifth episode of Ken Burns’ PBS documentary “Country Music” to appreciate how both radical and gracious she was.  Jack White tears up discussing her songwriting brilliance.

Contemporary bro country, or as I call it, “Date Rape Country.”
