James Franco, Martin Freeman, and Amy Adams Will Be Your Next 3 SNL Hosts As Per NY VULTURE.

Not sure I see Freeman in the sketch medium but we'll see.

Best from last week

Cold opening
Weekend Update
Marijuana sketch - Showed the absolute stupidity of the law. How will a cop tell the difference between 25 & 26 ounces? Will they carry a scale with them. The ending though was classic. You can possess it but not use it? 1 ounce over the limit & you can be arrested. Totally moronic

Hopefully, the anti smoking zealots will be as vigilant about someone lighting up a joint instead of a regular cigarette.

I know I will be. I don't like inhaling smoke. If not wanting to inhale smoke makes me a zealot, FINE.

If only I could get the hanging indentation right for this, this would be the best thing I have ever read.

I hope Corine got paid for writing the questions from the audience in the opening monologue.
Was working on "The Other Woman," like, so much fun?

I found last night's episode just off, other than the cold open and the digital short. The Cosby line was just about perfect.

The Black Annie could have been funny, but not sure whether it was Diaz or something else, but the timing of most of the skits just seemed to fail.

But don't forget THIS masterpiece!


Back Home Ballers

The episode was terrible. Diaz is hilarious and has been very funny on SNL before, but the sketches were just bad. My favorite was probably the experimental theatre parody, I feel like I've seen that play! And yes, Back Home Ballers was great. My main issue was that the best sketches barely featured Diaz or treated her like another ensemble player, which is cool sometimes, but it persisted throughout. Oh, I did really like that final sketch with Diaz, Kate McKinnon, and Cecily Strong.

So it seems you liked about half of it pretty well?

Namo, that was the digital short I was referring to. It made me giggle in its absurdity. As did the Kyle Mooney one - just because it is such a perfect parody.

[FindingNamo]

I love the mumbly things Mooney and Beck Bennet do, almost in spite of myself. That '80s/'90s sitcom parody a couple weeks back makes me giggle to think of.

"Maxie!"

Ha, I guess I did, Namo. So maybe "terrible" wasn't the right word?

To Eric

Let us not forget empty buses( next bus please or not in service) rolling by. Add to that trucks belching clouds of thick black smoke far worse than second hand smoke

're SNL. Cold opening usually great.This one laid there like a dead fish. Annie skit was great and Weekend Update. Gave up after that.

I saw the opening sketch -- wow. I hadn't realized Rush Limbaugh was SNL's head writer.

That Vile Opening Sketch

^^^ Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, etc., have all found out the same thing, which is that when you seemingly criticize the left, they do not handle it very well.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 11/24/14 at 4:07pm

^^Not so much about criticizing the left, but telling lies about the left. Read the article, and you might understand the difference.

I read the article. Understood where SNL was wrong even before that, but don't use the show as a news source, since no one should.

"I read the article. Understood where SNL was wrong even before that"

Isn't it funny that all these people are analyzing a comedy sketch? What's up next? Analyzing why Carol Burnett's Eunice can't find harmony in her home?

IT'S A COMEDY SKETCH!
