I love Les Miz, i like the premise of the skit but don't really get the purpose or humor of the Les Miz tie in.

Agreed. Davidson, in my opinion, is a completely useless cast member: he comes off as lazy and unprepared in sketches, he can't seem to play anything other than himself and his appearances on "Update" have become stale and unfocused. Jones isn't able to get through a single sketch, no matter how little lines she has, without flubbing a line. Like Davidson, her "Update" segments are often tired, forced and unorganized. I do tend to like Jones in pretaped materials but it's the "live" portion of the show she hasn't mastered. 

 

I did like the lobster sketch, though.

Absurdity should be more linear.

Another sketch that was cut has a Broadway tie-in (toward the end):

I wanted Keenan to say: “Who am I? I’m Jean Dijon.”

Seemed like something a high school theater group would do as improv
