Cecily Strong is an utterly neutral presence to me.

I think Jay Pharaoh is crazy talented but the terrible writers have no idea what to do with him. It's a shame.

Mixed feelings on this, because every performer on SNL is basically expected to write for themselves. There are performers, and writers, and writers/performers. I agree he's not been utilized well at all, but at a certain point can't he start writing better stuff for himself?
I dunno, maybe. It may just be that he's a better performer than a writer. But what a performer!

I'm really not into Kyle Mooney. One trick pony whose trick gets old in 2 minutes flat.

Also, I don't know who most of the people on SNL right now are. I'm looking at these lists and at a certain point I'm just like, wait, who?

I am a big fan of hers, but was totally bored by her Sunday routine. One of the worst ones ever.
I think the point is that you're supposed to imagine cuddling with her all day. That's how I read it at least.
