Re: Saturday Night Live
Chance was pretty good; he was in nearly every sketch and broke (or nearly broke) in each of them. Jason Momoa's bit during the court sketch was pretty funny and I liked the e-sports and choir sketches too and thought the one with Chance and Cicely on the wires was entertaining because of the live aspect.

She isn't. And her awkward/cool vibe just doesnt really hold much weight anymore.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Pretty bad, yeah. Stewart is... not funny?
Additionally, the writing and skits were fucking bad. Though, i did like the paint can skit.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I thought it was another middling episode but agree Stewart wasn't nearly as impressive as her hosting gig a couple seasons ago.

What a horrible episode. And Harry was fine, the writing was pure shit. That drug dealer one might be the worst thing I've ever seen on SNL.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Harry was fine as a host and I actually watched the musical performances this week. I like his second song better. Other than pre-taped Joan piece with Addy the episode was quickly forgotten about. The impeachment opener was bad but I agree the drug deal piece was awful.
Will Ferrell next week is promising though.

Five times for Ferrell already? I wonder who the drop bys will be for that?

Re: Saturday Night Live
Will Ferrell didn't disappoint in what has easily been the best episode of the season so far. Lots of drop bys, particularly in the Democratic debate sketch which ran long but was one the better ones of it's type in a while. Of course Ferrell was in all the sketches and managed to elevate them all while making it look easy. I think I laughed at least once for each of them with biggest being his entrance in the Wizard of Oz. Even the ventriloquist bit got a good laugh at the end. I don't always think Ferrell is funny but when he hits he's one of the best.
The show did feel a little hurried; I noticed Update did not come on until nearly the hour mark.
