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

Can't stand Drake...even his face pisses me off...

But dude killed it...Katt Williams' impressed me.

The writing was meh but dude crushed what was given.

Indiana Rahat was amazing. Drake really worked his ### off in that scene.

Seriously? I turned it on, watched that sketch, and turned it off. Drake was good, but the whole thing was dumb and didn't make me laugh at all.

If you've spent as much time in amusement parks and/or local-quality improv theater as I have, that sketch is hilarious.

The episode as a whole was really strong. Probably shouldn't have been as surprised as I was that Drake was so good, given he's actually a trained actor and such, but I was impressed with how much range he showed.

I can't say I'm a fan of Drake's music, so I went into this episode biased against him. He was fantastic.

There is a lot of performance talent in the current cast. The show could take a big leap forward in the next couple years with the right turnover in the writers' room.

Agreed. small sample size and all that, but it seems like the writing is not very creative right now. half the sketches are funny because the cast is doing awesome impressions. I don't follow the behind-the-scenes stuff, but did SNL lose a bunch of writers when Wiig, Hader, Sandberg, Forte, etc.. left? Or did most of those guys also write their own stuff?

 
Only saw Weekend Update and the 1st skit after the news with the living painting.

Probably watched the weakest spots, Seth Myers gets a lot of love on these boards, I do not think he is nearly as funny as everyone else. I think his turn at the news was a good run, he's solid but nothing I was tuning in for. In fact he was such a small part of the rest of the show I barely noticed him except when he was doing the news.

Is Cecily going to anchor solo now? I haven't heard her do many jokes that were funny on that news section of the show. Tina Fey was really one of the best to ever sit there, I'm not sure I would have said that a few years ago but she really was.

 
The only funny skit was the Black History Month one. McCarthy was awful, just like the previous 2 times she hosted.

 
That chick who played Ellen in the opening skit isn't funny. She's just creepy.

Every skit she is in, she is..... creepy.

No way in real life she hasn't boiled an ex-boyfriend's rabbit.

 
I guess I didn't open this thread earlier but I hated Drake on the show. Surprised to see people liked him in here.

 
One of the weakest SNLs ever. Parsons deserved better. The show is at one of those low points where a lot of stars are gone, and combine that with the weak writing and the show just sucks. It reminds me of the period after Carvey, Lovitz, Hartman, Myers and Nealon left.

12 Yeas A Slave auditions - I laughed....

i recorded this episode to see what Parsons would be like in a role outside of Sheldon.

The monologue was a decent jab at one role ponies (which he is highly likely to be).

Otherwise the episode was pretty bad, but the skit you referenced was good.

The show wasn't bad. Is it just me, or is there less and less "live" to SNL these days?

Certainly seems to be trending that way. The Digital Shorts really ushered in this era, as it gave them a great way to get viral videos. Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett, along with director Dave McCary, all formerly of the comedy group Good Neighbor, have kind of taken over the Lonely Island spot.

I don't know who is responsible for the fake movie audition spots over the years, but they are almost always great.

 
Jost was a little wooden, but I'm sure he'll get into it. Had some good jokes. "Pop-Tarts: the official breakfast of kids whose parents are in over their heads"

Cecily Strong seemed more confident.

Overall, I thought the episode was kind of weak.

Seth Myers has been head writer since Tina Fey left. (For better or worse). So pretty big part of the show.

I think there's potential there. I like more of a deadpan style for that. I hate when they laugh at their own jokes.

Off for a month for Olympics, then 2 new eps, then 2 more reruns?

It looks like they are only going to do eighteen episodes this season. They have only three left: Louis CK, then Anna Kendrick and the season finale with Seth Rogen.

The last time they did less than twenty was the 2007-08 season when they did only twelve. I assume the Olympics were the reason for that, too.
