Does U2 get three songs as they have in the past instead of the usual two that other bands get?

The only thing worse than the content of the show is U2.

It wasn't particularly funny, but during Weekend Update they showed a pre-recorded bit with Michael Che going undercover as a liberal white woman. That’s the first sign I’ve seen that the general population is catching on to their hypocrisy and BS. Given the nearly 600 pages of the JDC thread, this board was on the cutting edge of call them out.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I liked the office harassment bit but I read an article about how it was too-"women misunderstand casual compliments" and minimized their harassment claims. Basically, too pro-men.

I thought it was a great sketch.

The Spelling Bee was good to but they've done stuff exactly like that in the past. Still pretty funny.

You know, the "be attractive, don't be unattractive" guide to sexual harassment was Saturday Night Live. How far we've come.

She is on a track with Maroon 5. From what I gather on youtube, she isn't great live. I didn't find her songs entertaining in the least.

The spelling bee was the only thing that made me laugh.

You didn't like Keenan talking about opening all the windows and giving him 28 minutes? I thought that was pretty funny in its specificity.

I think Keenan is currently my favorite cast member with Kate McKinnon. If one of them is in a sketch I'm probably going to laugh at something they do even if the rest of the sketch is shit.

That wasn't bad, but, eh...

I can't stand Kate McKinnon. I don't know what it is, but there is just something about her that bugs the shit out of me.

I slept through the musical guest. My wife woke me up to watch Update...because I usually like it...I wish she had let me sleep.

At least that one had Appalachain Emergency Room.

1. She has crazy eyes.

2. She seems to have an air of self-satisfaction that irritates me.

3. Like Kristen Wiig before her, many of her characters are starting to seem similar. Similar voice, similar expressions, similar mannerisms, and she's in too many skits.

This about sums it up for me.

The best part of that was Leslie Jones ( ). I think she legitimately wanted to puke...

You guys are insane.
I thought both her (SZA) songs were great, and she was on Fallon last night but I think she played one of the same songs that she did on SNL. She's hot as hell, and she's definitely got a fantastic voice. I don't give a shit about Beyonce, and I don't know if I've ever heard any actual music by Solange, so I guess, IMO, she'd be "Most Talented" Knowles.
I liked the Scrudge short, as I generally like everything Mooney and Bennett do.
I thought the Za vs. Suh sketch was pretty amusing, although I wished it would've just been 4 minutes of making Pete Davidson repeat the word 'Za in different contexts instead of Franco yelling the whole time.
And put me on the list of "Less Kate McKinnon, please".

These Trumpets openings stopped being funny a year ago. Baldwin’s Trump isn’t even good.

That was her best acting ever.... Now we know why

I agree. The actual Trump moments are more funny then the SNL sketches.

I thought they were gonna dump Baldwin this year and get one of their guys to do it. But they didn't. Now they have to rely on his schedule to do Trump stuff. Which is mostly just the opening. It limits them.

So if Trump is in office for 4 years, they're gonna have Baldwin do it all of that time? A non cast member doing it for 5 years?

Did anyone catch last weeks episode with Sam Rockwell? He said "fucking" in one skit.

Overall it was moderately chuckle-worthy episode. Aidy Bryant made a silly speech on weekend update about Mark Walhberg. I guess not only should he have been a "decent person" in the first place and not accepted the payment his agent negotiated for him in exchange for reshooting scenes from the movie, it also shouldn't have taken a week's worth of public shaming for him to donate that money.

Yes, I watched it and it was one of those moments where he instantly realized he shouldn't have said it, but the whole sketch was set for his character to be pissed off, so I don't blame him. Overall, the episode was a middle of the road one for me.

Yeah, pretty average episode.

I think there is potential for tonight's episode, though. Lots to poke at.

Oof, that "What Does it Even Matter Anymore?" skit was brutal.

Brutal is the most positive word one could assign to it.

There was barely even an attempt at comedy in the opening monologue, it was just "Yay for the women's march!"

Since Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong were involved in the monologue and the "What Does it Even Matter Anymore" skit I assume they are heavily involved in the direction of the show. I've watched the show since the late 70s/early80s and during that time it has certainly gone through rough patches where the majority of the show wasn't funny. However, since the show is supposed to be satire as opposed to a vehicle for beating people over the head with cast members' personal political views week in and week out, I am closer than I have ever been to tuning out altogether.

The show has become the H.S. theatre kids skit where the parents in the audience resent the fact that the kids on stage think they're teaching them something.
