Would love to see Baldwin retire the Trump roll in Jan. Have him take off the wig and such on air and set it aside never to return.

I'm forever doing that...

No. The ball popping skid was juvenile at best for the first 10 seconds and then it just repeated. It was annoying and not funny. Sorry!

Dude that Mario skit, Mrs. Bam and I were rolling. I think I started to tear up a little from laughing. So beautifully weird, who comes up with something like that?

I haven't checked but I assumed it was Kyle because he was in it and it was stupid. Those are usually the two main ingredients in a Kyle Mooney sketch.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it was Day either.

Just finished it. Chappelle's monologue was looooong. Enjoyed it, tho.

The Aunt Jemima sketch was fucking great. I always love it when they crack up and that was some epic cracking up. "Look at Pete Davidson's lips!"

The Mario sketch was fucking hilarious. Sanded down. Ha!

The first Foos tune was quite boring. If they pare it down to a minute, it'd be a great intro to some jam out rocker. As it was, tho, it just kinda went on and on. No dynamics to it at all.

Weekend Update. Great. I cried I was laughing so hard when Che took his tie off. It was like the most unexpected thing he could think of and it took Jost totally by surprise.

Everything after WU was forgettable.

I finally went back and watched last season's John Mulaney episode. I didn't realize that so much of this season's JM episode was a rehash of the jokes/skits from last year. :|

Kind of a bummer. Made both episodes less enjoyable to me for some reason. Which sucks because he's a funny dude. Ah well.

Next two hosts are Jason Bateman and Timothee Chalamet. Kristen Wiig then returns to host the episode leading to the Christmas/New Year's break.

I have DirecTv, who has temporarily removed the local NBC affiliate over pricing so I’m going to have to watch clips online after the show. Not happy about that.
Also, turns out SNL is the only NBC show I regularly watch these days.

I've seen the open, monologue and Update on line. I'll go back and watch individual sketches later on, depending on reviews.
