Re: Saturday Night Live
Well, I'll amend. I'm not sure what you mean. Is Leslie Jones more one note than Will? Maybe, yes. I'll give you that. My vomit emoticon was in response to everything you said about Will. Because he's overrated, uninteresting, and a joke.
I'd much rather watch Leslie fail at her one great thing, than watch Will be an asshole at his one thing.

I love the Canteen Boy sketch. Tho it's probably due more to Alec Baldwin than Sandler.

Re: Saturday Night Live
i'm not that big of a ferrell fan, but he is by no means one-note...also as jorge said it's not even so much that jones is one note, it's just that note is terrible
And they say that a hero could save us
