I've gotten to the point where I fast-forward through all the Baldwin-Trump segments. I hate watching him.

You got what you expected from a Melissa McCarthy episode: a more than game host playing dress up with whacky characters, a broad slapstick sketch, and now Spicey. That particular well was a given this week after the situation with the bushes. Like a lot people though I feel the political material is too much of a good/easy thing. An early celeb cameo who literally just seemed to stop by but the one at the end was a nice touch. McCarthy & McKinnon in particular play well together, I would have been perfectly happy with another cat ladies sketch. Nothing else of the episode particularly stood out though; that goes for Update too.
I also noticed Colin was on crutches during the goodbyes?
The finale this week, let's see if they go out with a bang or just want to wrap the season.

I couldn't figure out if Colin was actually on crutches or if it was a carry over gag from the Mooney-Jones thing (which I love btw).

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.

I really enjoyed the WU. Che' and Jost have hit their stride really well with this segment. I wonder how Trump reacted to the make out scene between he and Spicer? The pie gag looked painful by the 3rd go round, props to MM for enduring that! She excels at the physical comedy. All in all, not a bad episode, but there's some stuff I could do without. Especially the Leslie Jones/Kyle Mooney segments. I'll miss Bobby M, but Pete Davidson can be executed a little more now.

I chuckled throughout the entire episode, and most of them were centered around the politically charged jabs. They seemed to be extra harsh this episode, like the writers are pushing the line to see what they can get away with, and I love it. Some very coldhearted, entertaining moments with some very veiled one-liners

Agreed, this was the best Trump/Baldwin moment so far since he was introduced. Some extremely harsh moments – awesome. I almost choked on my food with the "sitting on a toilet" line.

I dig Melissa McCarthy. She's hit or miss, but when she hits she really cracks me up. She just goes for it, and I like that about her. You could tell she was genuinely choking on a piece of confetti in that Just Desserts skit, haha

WU was top notch. It's good to see Pete Davidson slowly making his way back into the fold, and thought his appearance here was good for him as part of his rehab. I think his ability to finally poke fun at himself and take control of his problem is a really interesting and inspiring thing to watch on live tv.

Haim is dreadfully boring, and the last 3 skits could have been cut.

Dammit I love Kate McKinnon
