SNL is Friggin' Horrible! Except when Timberlake is hosting. (1 Viewer)

[Zow]

Kind of gross to bring Alec Baldwin back and do a poor job imitating RFK.

Given the recent news surrounding RFK (which I won't go into out of respect for board rules), I think nothing is off limits at this point and "gross" is the new norm.

I think a person loses a lot of their comedic value after they shoot and kill a co-worker.

I don't disagree. That said, you're probably not their target audience. Their likely targeted audience are those panicking about the likely impact RFK will have on their lives comes 2025 and they need humor to cope with such panic.

Yeah imagine eating healthy food. The horror!!

Yeah I'm going to step away from this at this point because it'll inevitably turn political.

Remember the “Pat” skits? I bet they can’t show that anymore, even if they wanted to. Those were great skits.

I didn't watch the whole episode last night but when Chloe Fineman was "the daughter" and mimed you blow.....I lold

 

[northern exposure]

Loved Hozier's second song choice.

There are too many in the 5 timer club.

That skit was hilarious. Was just kind of funny until her part, I was dying.

And Che and Jost telling each other’s jokes is always great…and then you add in Scar Jo being there and the butt of many of them?

I mean they’ll start dying off soon, will that be better?

That skit was hilarious. Was just kind of funny until her part, I was dying.

My favorite part of that skit is when Melissa McCarthy's character spit her drink on the window, and then wiped it with her boobs, and then smashed her boobs against the window again, and then licked up some of the drink and peeked at them through the lick line. Chloe was trying her best to hold her laughter in.

In the 50 years of SNL I’m pretty sure there’s never been an opening monologue like Chappelle’s was tonight.

 

[SoBeDad]

In the 50 years of SNL I’m pretty sure there’s never been an opening monologue like Chappelle’s was tonight.

He touched on Trump (wishing him better this time), Haitians eating pets in Springfield which is next to where he lives, the LA , Diddy, Jimmy Carter, and the Palestinians which is sure to piss some people off, especially just hours before the ceasefire. Stand-up brilliance.

Eddie Murphy as Tracy Morgan

 

[Ilov80s]

Been a great show so far

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

The Kate McKinnon/Meryl Streep skit was gold. Talk about testing censorship. Kate is one of the all-time bests.

 

[Wingnut]

The 50 years of SNL music show that aired recently was really cool, and there was a SNL 50th homecoming concert the other night that can be watched on Peacock that had a bunch of performers and was hosted by Fallon, the entire audience was people connected to the show - cast members, performers, hosts, etc. Worth a watch

Very few misses. Lots of hits. Really good show tonight.

 

[Capella]

That Sandler song was great and definitely got to me when he sang about Norm.

And Farley

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to
The love you make

A great song from an all-time great album and maybe the greatest band ever, and in person by McCartney too. What a great way to close out 50 years.

 

[Psychopav]

Can't believe they actually let Chevy in the building. Maybe for 60 he'll even get a speaking part in the show. Assuming Lorne is dead by then of course.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Just stumbled across part of this show.

HOLY MILEY CYRUS!

Not some fan and she actually bugged me but no more. O/U on watches of that performance is currently at 10 1/2.

I would bet the over by tomorrow, it's a lock.

 

[gump]

Any reason Aykroyd wasn’t there?

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

Any reason Aykroyd wasn’t there?

Or Carvey?

 

[Ilov80s]

Any reason Aykroyd wasn’t there?

Or Carvey?

I looked online and couldn’t find a reason. Hader said he other commitments that conflicted- I assumed he’s filming a movie or something. Aykroyd had been promoting the event on social media a long with his vodka. No idea on Carvey.

 

[Capella]

Was present day Chevy not on the show? I saw him on the stage at the end but that’s it.

Internet says he suffers from dementia like symptoms. He was on the front row of the audience.

The other funky missing performance was swift doing her song. It worked but was fairly clear they planned her to come in there.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Probably the biggest gut buster side splitter of the night
The show was up and down, lot of Martin and Short early which is fine
Eddie Murphy did a spot on impression of Tracy Morgan, wish he would have just kept that spot on stage but something happens towards the end of that skit, just awkward
The show was up and down like the show typically is on Saturday Nights

-Even when the show has had huge success like the late 70s/early 80s and then a big section of the 90s, then Ferrell and crew, it always has some scenes or skits that fall flat
But there was enough laughs last night, 3.5 hours was a bit much
The song with Samberg I thought was produced well but overall the anxiety topic was lame

That is a character Hanks has done before on Black Jeopoardy and it's pretty funny imo

really good concert.

the music teachers with Ferrell and Gasteyer was hysterical

And holy cow..Cher's still got it...and i mean ALL of it. Shes 78!!!!

 

[ThaPenguin]

Eddie Murphy as Tracy Morgan

Wish this got a longer slot, the real Tracy barely had any lines, and there was an awkward transition to Hanks at the end. Wonder if the pausing they had to do for the audience laughing at Murphy cut into it. That was amazing.

I had to look up her age during her performance. Unbelievable how good she looks and sounds at almost 80.

Miley sounded great, but man oh man..Brittany Howard is a musical force to be reckoned with. Great pipes, kills on guitar.

 

[Skipdog77]

...and I so wanted Ringo to show up playing tambourine or something at the end of Paul's set and then looking for their $1500 from Lorne.

Eddie showed why he’s a first ballot HOF’er - was obvious he was improvising during the skit and cracking up the other actors.

Wasn't that John who was with Paul that night?

It was, but it would have been hard for John to show up Sunday night.

The song with Samberg I thought was produced well but overall the anxiety topic was lame

Yeah, but then again, the show's as much for the cast and crew as it is for the viewers.
To that end, kudos to SNL for highlighting some of them and in a way that garnered some laughs (e.g., the quick response on who looked best in their underwear: Jason Momoa, drunk Wally).

Carvey was sick with the flu and couldn’t travel. Still baffled about hader

It’s kind of inside baseball, but if you’ve heard a lot of interviews with former cast members it makes total sense. Similar to Sandler’s song

 

[Long Ball Larry]

And in the end
The love you take

The love you make

Is that true?

For all of her greatness Meryl Streep didn’t add much here.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I can't stand McKinnon. So, the only reason I kept watching the skit was to see what Streep would do.

Fred Armisen's question from the audience to Fey and Poehler was like this as well. The Spade & Carvey podcast "Fly On The Wall" is dedicated to the insider stuff from former writers, hosts and cast members. Many talk about the stress and anxiety they went through in the pressure cooker that is SNL.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

Somewhere in here we should probably talk about the "Fly on the Wall" podcast. And the reason I bring it up is because of how sorry I am that it isn't better than it is. Awesome concept, but Carvey isn't a natural interviewer despite how easy it is to root for him, and Spade just sucks at being funny.

If only there was some sort of search capability for the FFA. Something that maybe let you search for "Fly on the Wall" in a particular forum.

Thread 'Your favorite Podcast'

Jan 24, 2007

Of course The Audible takes center stage on my Ipod. I've been having a hard time finding anything that I may enjoy on a regular basis. I was wondering if anyone had any they listen frequently to (Video or audio).

The other 3 Podcasts I subscribe to are Coffee Break Spanish (great for someone trying to learn Spanish), BrainFood, which some grad student explains how things in daily life work (i.e. touch screens, contact lenses, boomerangs) and the Boston Globe (short summary of their front page news).

Today I find myself without anything really to listen to. Any ideas?

Is that you David?

 

[Jaysus]

Tina and Amy were on the Jimmy show the week before the special and spent a fair amount of time talking about the writers anxiety as well.
