Well, Paul McCartney is a friend of Lorne, so... there's one.

I actually enjoyed the Blake Shelton episode. His second song was the one a family member tried to use to convert me into loving country music over the holidays. It didn't work. I was like, beer, trucks, girls, tobacco?! What part of this sounds like me?!

I just want to profess my deep love for Kate McKinnon in light of the news of her casting in the female Ghostbusters movie alongside Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Leslie Jones.

I am so happy for Leslie Jones! From writer, to cast, to ghostbuster within a year!

The final sketch was unfortunate.

The NFL opener was not a full winner either. But over all I'd give it a a B+ / A-.

Simmons was game and is likable, but I thought it was pretty rough and uneven all around. Poor Leslie Jones, another likable presences, can barely get through a sketch without blowing a line, but her being cast in Ghostbusters has probably made her safe for a while. When the Casablanca sketch started, I figured it must be because Simmons does a good Humphrey Bogart, but once the sketch got going, I didn't think Simmons did a very good Humphrey Bogart. Pushie and The Jay-Z Story were the best of the night, I thought.

The Casablanca sketch was ALL about Kate, though.

And it was nice of them to let Vanessa actually participate in this week's episode.

I was just thrilled that they brought Jebediah Atkinson onto Weekend Update. He is my favorite character by far on WU - one of my favorites in the history of the show - and he did not disappoint this week. I laughed the entire time he was on.

I loved the Casablanca skit as well. I though that was an instant classic.

As a teacher, I think they missed the mark on Teacher Snow Day - the only bit I found funny in that was the pantsless principal.

Otherwise, the show was very average to bad (what the heck was that Miss Trash skit?). But Jebediah on WU alone helped raise the epsiode for more. NEXT!

I find myself checking this thread before watching an episode on demand.

You had me at Jebediah Atkinson

I have such anticipation for tomorrow! Seems quite odd to be celebrating 40 years of SNL on a SUNDAY. I'm sure it is due to either logistics or ratings, but still, it seems wrong.

[SNAFU]

I'm psyched! Have my tux ready. Theyare having so many people for the Gala they are also using Seth Meyers studio in 8G. The After Party is going to be a freaking hoot!

CapnHook, Saturday is usually the least-watched night of the week. It's pretty common that SNL gets higher ratings than any show in Saturday prime time. Sunday is a big night for television watching, which is why the big shows (Super Bowl, Oscars, Grammys, etc) are on Sundays.

They've expanded the show to 11:30, so they must be anticipating very high ratings.
