My god. Watching that just makes everything better.

I had the same reaction. MAKE COMEDY GREAT AGAIN

[Biff Pocoroba]

I saw that in my suggested videos too. I remember it from back in the day, about '88. I wonder how that would play today? Would it even make it air?

[50 Million Feet of Earth...]

No way it makes it to air today. There's a skit from that era where Mike Myers plays an Asian movie studio executive. It never shows up on the reruns or currently on Peacock - I can only assume because it's seen as racist.

That era is also infamous for presenting one-offs as recurring characters (Massive Headwound Harry, Middle-Aged Man, etc)

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer!!

[tragabigzanda]

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.

Chapelle next week!!

Fuck, im going to watch it!

[Strat]

Last night kind of sucked too and im usually a huge an of Mulaney.

All time best! But he got several sketches.

don't ruin this for me trag

Had this conversation last night: Top 5 best female cast members in no particular order...

Fey
Poehler
Wiig
McKinnon
Shannon


Of that group I only agree with a couple. Wiig is easily the best. McKinnon up there.

Fey and Poehler OVERRATED.

Shannon meh.

I think you gotta include Oteri. And the name is escaping me but the gal who played “Pat” was great. I was not a devoted fan of the show. Who am I missing?

[spike]

Maya Rudolph
Rachel Dratch

OGs would have Gilda Radner and possibly Jan Hooks in the convo.

Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman. Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks. Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Maya Rudolph.



And Terry Sweeney.

*Julia Sweeney. And Rachel Dratch deserves to be in the conversation.

No. I meant Terry Sweeney.

[spike]

Vanessa Bayer was consistently funny, but not sure she had many signature characters.

[VinylGuy]

please, SNL had so much talent McKinnon does not deserve to be in any top 5. Top 15 maybe. 20.

she's very funny, but she also kinda peaked early and's been pretty inconsistent for a few seasons now.

[VinylGuy]

And SNL had legends. She is funny and has just one act. The quirky weird crazy girl.

[Strat]

Yea. Its kind of gotten old for me. She is a hell of a performer but her shtick is very one dimensional at this point.

[Biff Pocoroba]

Surprise surprise, the John Mulaney episode has the best one yet this season. Of his four hostings this was probably the weakest one start to finish but still better than recent weeks'. He just fits in so well and everyone seems to step it up.
Weekend Update got some good digs in; their last jabs before Tuesday.
Where's Aidy & Cecily been?
David Chappelle hosts the next new one in two weeks so first one back after the election I have high expectations on that one too.

The bit during his monologue about his grandmother...I was hollering!

My wife said she saw somewhere that Aidy has been absent because she's been filming for Shrill.
