Weekly SNL thread — Page 69

Larry David and the camel were the only things funny on SNL this week. Tracy Morgan is just not funny, imo.

Everybody has to rely on the cue cards. It's required. Every second is accounted for and cast and guests aren't allowed to deviate from what's on the card.

The cue card thing really bothers me, and the breaking of character. It's lazy, imo. Of course the show needs to rely on cue cards, and noone is perfect, but it's just so obvious with some of the performers on SNL over the years. It's why I don't get all of the love for Leslie Jones. I think she's terrible live. I never understood the appeal of John Belushi for the same reason.

I just started it, but the friends of mine who have posted about it on Facebook say it's awful.

Guess what. Even a bad episode can't keep me from wanting Beck Bennett in my butt.

Tell me something I don't know.

I agree that Beck is hot and he looks like he lost some weight which makes him even more handsome. The new guy is a nice piece of eye candy although I thought his Anderson Cooper was off the mark.

My god that was devastating, brutal and appalling. It almost makes you weep for the future of this country. How did we allow something like this to happen? Really, isn't there a rule against extended campaigning on television programs? Because that's all this was.

Unfortunately the equal time rule was thrown out (as a foreshadow of Citizen's United?) so that's why we get this sort of thing.

I sat this episode out, just like me and Nora Dunn did back in 19hundred and 90 over Andrew Dice Clay.

I sped through it in 45 minutes. I regret all but the girls doing their song.

Greetings and Salutations, I must say! Any time you bring back Martin Short it can not be all bad.

Ed Grimley! Ed Grimley! When I saw him I could just die from excitement! "Go To Bed!"

I could do without Sia's shtick also. I'm basically a fan of her music more than anything else.

I only watched because a friend of mine was an extra in the cold opening, but wow that was a rough episode. I'm hoping that the writers justifiably didn't care at all this week because their host was so awful. The Oval Office sketch was one of the more painful things I think they've ever done. And of course, it was an embarrassing to have the show hosted by a blowhard racist, and as much as the show tried to make fun of that fact, it still fell totally flat.
