Ugh, Lena. Lena needs to stick that q-tip in further next time.

Also, what's the point of casting for diversity, and then sticking them in the background or featuring them in non-memorable character sketches? It's like they're placeholders. The only Cleghorne sketch I remember is when she as Natalie Cole was duetting with more deceased musicians, and the only Meadows character I remember is Ladies' Man. And that's it for me, personally. I could think of 15 Cheri Oteri characters before I think of two of Cleghorne's

The problem is not in the casting choices but in the writing staff. Do you think White Boys from Harvard are capable of giving Black characters a voice? Women became a stronger part of the show when Tina Fey and Paula Pell stepped up into the "All White Guy" writing staff. Other then the contribution of the Black cast members, there are no Black writers on the show. I don't think there have ever been.

That was my reference to diversity.

SNL is certainly an example of how institutional racism screws people over. They always find plenty for the black cast members to do when they have a black host.

Like the "How's Obama doing?" sketch when Kerry Washington hosted. It was just her, Keenan, and Jay

They named a replacement for Seth Meyers on Weekend Update. It is going to be head writer, Colin Jost. Cecily Strong will still be on too. Kind of glad they did this. I always prefer that segment with 2 people.

I am glad they did this as well, i didn't think Cecily could hold it down by herself.

Hetero figureskating was hilarious!

Was I the only one who laughed a bit at the toilet clogging one, but really thought it was a bit juvenile? Like I'm almost 30 and by now poop jokes aren't really supposed to be funny. But, sometimes they are.

The toilet sketch worked because it was perfectly tailored to Jonah Hill's style of comedy - the awkward Everyman.

The writers did a good job coming up with characters for Jonah. The only one that really didn't work was the horse sketch. Jonah Hill as a cowboy in a weird wig and weirder accent was a low point.

I'm hoping Amy and Bill show up, and think they will. Sad to see Seth go but thrilled he's moving onto Late Night.

"Perfect send off for Seth. Hope his show is as successful as he deserves for it to be."

I completely agree. It was so nice to see Amy, Bill, Andy, and a cameo from Fred. Seth's done so much for the show and I wish him the best for 'Late Night'.

That was incredibly touching...and still very funny.

And with that...SNL will now go down the crapper. There is no one left on the cast who keeps my interest. Generally speaking...this cast is just not as funny as previous casts.
