I had not seen that, the list I saw still said TBA. I'm good with it.
I more than halfway expect McCarthy to do a stop by this month though. She's popular there and has a summer movie to promote so...

Don't @ me, but I saw it on the Today Show this morning.

I was disappointed by the Donald Glover show this week.

yeah, the whole thing was a dud. I don't think I finished watching a single sketch. The only thing that even kind of landed was Pete Davidson on Weekend Update, and that was one of his weakest ever segments

The dirty talk in bed sketch had a few funny lines.

I thought that was a great skit as well as this one:

?

It wasn't spectacular but it was pretty solid throughout. And the musical numbers were awesome.

Maybe I was in the wrong mood. But this show has rarely been even passable for a while, and i'll stamd by that

I agree that Chris Redd and Heidi Gardner are good additions.

I loved the 80s Music Video skit, and the Friendos skit made me lol a few times too ("Lambo!"). The rest of it felt pretty tired despite Glover putting forth a great effort. The best takeaway was that "This Is America" is an awesome song, and I'm looking forward to a Childish Gambino album for the first time in my life.

Three other random thoughts:

1. Chris Redd and Heidi Gardner were both great hires and are already paying dividends.

2. Michael Che's "Pass" joke on Kanye West was a retread of David Spade's "No, it's too easy" joke during The Hollywood Minute like 25 years ago.

3. The "retarded" joke during the Dirty Talk skit sure was timely, eh RM?
I spent a couple few extra seconds chuckling at that
