Saturday Night Live

I thought it was a decent episode. I actually liked the virus sketch, and the Dionne Warwick & Rap Roundtable sketches were both pretty good. Chalamet did a good job; he seemed to play off Pete Davidson particularly well and did his best to make the Tiny Horse pre-tape worth watching. Talented kid; I remember seeing him on Homeland.
I thought the Springsteen songs both sounded very generic. He certainly has some songs I like over his long career but I'm just a casual fan as well.

Totally agree.

I'll add that I loved the Tiny Horse bit. Looks like I'm in the minority there, but I thought it was funny, weird, and charming.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Omg the robe song is great

I loved the world war II skit

[doug rr]

solid D if that

Christmas Morning pre-taped segment was the best. Secret Word got a few laughs me. Great to see Willie back on Update. Other than that a very average episode.
I had heard the Carrey would not be returning as Biden, I too thought he was going to be there for the season. I’m okay with that; his portrayal never grew on me and didn’t generate the buzz as Baldwin’s Trump.
Jost said that was last Update with Trump as President? When do they return? Hard to believe they’ll be off a full month. They’ve an odd schedule this season.

I had a lot of fun with that episode. Not perfect, some duds, buy mostly fun. I laughed a lot.

Dua Lips is great. I really need to revisit her new album. I haven't listened to it in months.

I was hoping they'd bring Sudekis back for his Biden. I always thought he was the best one.
