Re: Saturday Night Live
i was just referring to her obama tribute song...i generally really like her too, but my god she was awful on thattragabigzanda wrote:Aziz. I find Cecily to be quite attractive and charismatic, so she usually gets a pass from me even if when she's not funny.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:who was worse...big sean, cecily strong, or aziz singing in the pizza skit?

I actually quite enjoy the Ebersol years. Sure there's rough stuff in there, but some real gems, as well.tragabigzanda wrote:Thanks weezer. With the exception of the Trump ep (which I boycotted), I've seen every episode since Woody Harrelson hosted in '89, and most of the earlier ones too. Have read all the books, listened to a lot of podcasts, and done the SNL tour. I even tried to get a gig on the show, on the sound crew, to no avail...
So I am a huge SNL dork. But I think it's the worst it's ever been right now, barring maybe the Dick Ebersol years.
