I think Beck Bennett should be able to do anything that Killam does. And cheaper!

except a character with any voice between "beck bennett" and "slightly deeper beck bennett"
idk why i am harshing on this guy's voice today i guess i just miss hader/sudeikis/forte too much. but come on, even kenan makes up dumb nonsense accents!

You're right, but Bennett's voice is the best!

don't care about Killam but Pharoah is a loss, always good to have a really talented mimic in the cast

Killam's Schwarzenegger movie is probably why he was let go:
“I don’t know fully. I don’t know the other side of it. You sign for seven years, so I had one more year. I had sort of had it in my head I would make this upcoming year my last year, but then heard they weren’t going to pick up my contract. I was never given a reason why, really,” he said.“But I do know I’m directing this movie [‘Why We’re Killing Gunther’ starring Arnold Schwarzenegger] and I’ll have two months of post-production that would have bled into the ‘SNL’ production schedule, so we kind of communicated that,” added Killam.

I don't find Davidson funny at all. My millennial son thinks he's great. Different strokes.
I will miss Taran Killam, esp the Les Jeunes de Paris dance sketches.

I liked Pete Davidsons weekend updtate skits, but can't remember a single funny thing he's done in a sketch. Except getting his head cut off.

the 'kid who fucked a teacher' courtroom sketches (plural. PLURAL.) are pretty funny

I watched one of his Weekend Update skits and it just seemed like a bad stand-up bit
― esempiu (crüt), Thursday, 11 August 2016 20:43 (seven years ago) link
yeah, I feel like Weekend Update has been leaning a bit too heavily on that lately: Davidson, Leslie Jones, Brooks Wheelan

what i want is for them to take the characters they make for weekend update, and instead of endlessly forcing them to sit in that chair when they hit and do the same thing but with more current references, maybe explore their lives in a sketch or two? i wanna see drunk uncle at christmas! i wanna see wally dealing with his terrible life!

terrible music I have no problem ignoring. but enthusiasm for Broadway garbage pops up in the strangest places, and I'm always a little taken aback when I come across people who profess to love it, like their aesthetic sensibilities were formed on some other planet where quality songwriting, acting, storytelling, staging, etc. were all subsumed under the spectacle of a bunch of people doing silly shit in fancy costumes on an expensive stage. I think I just have basic issues with what constitutes a "good" Broadway musical that do not line up at all with what they are these days. (For what its worth there *are* musicals I like, but I admit it's a narrow subset - a lot of times the basic artifice of the Broadway musical often prevents me from having any kind of emotional or intellectual engagement with the material, there's just some built-in ridiculousness to it that is hard for me to get past)

I stumbled across that New Electric Company clip while searching for things to entertain my kids and it cemented a pigheaded desire to never, ever, ever see Hamilton deep in the foundation of my being
― ¶ (DJP), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 20:13 (seven years ago) link
For the record, I've been holding off my take on Hamilton until I actually see it. But I really do wonder what LMM means to people who don't live in New York

special snowflake story: i saw the lion king in the west end (tickets via a relative who was pumbaa's understudy) and i don't remember a single second of it; it's all gone, blocked, except for using the crowded bathroom at intermission and being very cold walking home. years later in new york i was passed by a bus wearing a banner ad for the broadway production, emblazoned w the single enormous word UNFORGETTABLE
