jamny 6,327 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Stefon is one of the few things Hader did that I never liked.So you are a fan of Herb Welch?Is that the old man reporter? The first time I saw it I thought it was hilarious. Of course, as usual with SNL. they play things to death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Pickles 4,620 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lorne needs to let loose the reigns of the show a bit. Every interview I read/hear from cast members or writers makes the writing process sound so tedious. They still all sit on the floor in his office each week to pitch ideas and it sounds like most people don't offer their best ideas. It seems like this whole clique, kiss ### session that stifles creativity. Nothing cutting edge. Have you seen anything biting about Obama? Who was the last President they didn't seriously lampoon? The show is totally PC now. The funniest sketch this season was the acupuncture sketch but was it really much different than Dan Akroyd as Julia Child with the blood squirting everywhere? They had a very talented cast this season, imo. I think the problem is Lorne.Thank you, Karl Rove. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

biggamer3 57 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 SNL blows, but Hader is amazing. He can do so many voices, can play the straight man well. Sad to see him go, I think he will do a sitcom on a network and do ok for himself. Seriously shocked that Myers got the Late Show gig, he never seemed that charismatic or interesting to me.

jdoggydogg 2,025 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 While I never liked Stefon, Hader has a natural talent.He's funny the moment you see him because he totally gives every scene his all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long Ball Larry 14,288 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Could be interesting. No new main cast members (Cecily Strong still considered a featured player), but 6 new featured players. Mostly from Upright Citizens Brigade. We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abraham 2,608 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 This is about the fifth "full transition" season they have had according to Robert smigel on sb report. He went through each one and it was interesting to hear how the tone of the show changed each time. I didn't think the last few years were bad, but they weren't memorable at all. I'm hopeful they do a good job. With Tina fey back they should be off to a good start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HughHoney 170 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I laughed during the airplane skit. Arcade Fire. I just don't get. Liking them, to me, feels like you're trying so hard to be differnent. It's terrible, but that's just my opinion. I'd rather watch a million SNL episodes than the new Clooney space movie.

tdoss 1,041 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Really surprised they didn't use the Cruz filibuster as the opening...it wrote itself...just have your guy rambling about some of the most insane nonsense and end it with Cruz thinking he accomplished something until he realized he scheduled his filibuster a day too early...Also incredibly surprised there was no Miley skit. What the hell? You have all this time off and you didn't really touch on anything that was funny during the break?Terrible for an opening to the season...not a good sign about the writing with this season going in...
