Every episode from last year. And half of the year before that. I also didn't watch SNL from 1998 through 2012 except for random skits on YouTube. So, I don't really know what I'm talking about. But I fucking LOVED this episode.

It's definitely a contender for me, and I've seen them all. Off the top of my head, some of the other great ones have been Edward Norton, Martin Freeman, and I *think* Louis CK's second appearance. I'd need the dust to settle a bit, but it's a real possibility.

I was actually thinking of you when I watched this. I felt like you would especially appreciate the energy of the night -- the way everyone came out swinging, and how many things clicked, but even those that didn't were great fun in their vibe and overall sense of irreverence that Kristen Stewart brought.

I don't know what to tell you, friend. I though it was all pretty great.

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.

They should have Baldwin-Trump react to a Rosie-Trump on SNL

Or would that be too meta?
