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.

I never thought of him as a skit performer but he's pretty good and was obviously enjoying himself. Bobby Moynihan got the most air time he's had in months. And what happened to Cecily Strong on the show? I really thought she was a rising star but we haven't seen much of her on a regular basis at all.

i thought it was strange cecily was barely in this episode since she's been featured so much before...i did notice vanessa bayer was in quite a few, and there's been times she was barely used also

It's largely a crap shoot; each week is a battle for air time. I wouldn't worry about a few bad weeks; it's the sustained inactivity when it starts to look bad.
