Watching this now on Hulu to see what the fuss is about

I thought this looked familiar for some reason when I saw it, but I didn't make the connection:http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq7x3Npnl1qfgtfho1_500.jpg

Ahhhh. I was wondering why it looked familiar too!

yeah I thought that was really sweet

She was on Jimmy Fallon last week, and the Roots played a Minnie Riperton song to introduce her (forget which one), and she seemed really touched by it.
― Ascot Fitzgerald (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
According to the liner notes from Riperton's Petals compilation CD, the melody to "Lovin' You" was created as a distraction for Maya when she was a baby, so that Riperton and Richard Rudolph could spend time together.[2] Near the end of the unedited "Lovin' You", Riperton sings "Maya, Maya, Maya"; in concert, near her death, she changed this to "Maya, Maya, Ringo, Maya." Ringo was her nickname for her son, Marc.

weird to think that taran killam is still a featured player... dude is in like every sketch
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I'm sayin' about him what I was sayin' during Bobby Moynihan's last year as a featured player: if Lorne doesn't promote him next season, he's straight outta his mind.

Things the 2012/13 cast needs:
+1 black woman+1 nerdy fella-1 andy samberg (and possibly -1 fred armisen)
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
wait, the cast already has Thompson, Armisen, Moynihan, Samberg, Killam and Hader and you think the thing they're missing is "someone nerdy"?

god, this mya angelou prank skit is amazing
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
i'm sick and should not be laughing this hard
that shit was next-level, I was crying
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't seen the past few episodes... did they start putting pharoah in more skits since the restart of this season or was it just this episode?

A few more as of late. xp
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
as much as i love kenan, it's really weird when they have him play black people that are not in the least bit overweight
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:32 (twelve years ago) link
I think when Brittain bailed/got canned, they had to use Pharoah more

not to be a killjoy but this has happened every time i've seen rudolph on a talk show! granted that's like uh twice
xps omg i'd forgotten about that maya angelou bit
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
is it okay that i'm slightly irked by them dressing pharoah as jay-z circa 2003
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
Point taken. I just don't feel like they've had a Lovitz/Kazurinsky type in a while (Armisen comes the closest, but I'm just ready to see someone else doing what he does).
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
Maya Angelou skit was hilare, even though David Alan Grier did the better Maya Angelou impresh on SNL.
And yeah, Pharoah's definitely been on more since Brittain left.
― Ascot Fitzgerald (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
it took me years to tell all the white dudes of this era apart! now they all seem very distinct, sure.
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
I can understand/sympathize with the "heavy dude playing non-heavy celebs, why because he is black" irritation but Kenan's Cornel West was so fucking lol
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
i always feel bad for pharoah, he is truly uncanny as an impressionist but they only give him that one thing to do, and only once every six weeks.
denzel washington as a customer service rep is all time tho
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
I just love that the show featured impersonations of both Cornel West and Geoffrey Canada.
― Ascot Fitzgerald (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
omg I forgot about Geoffrey Canada
DYING

this is why I said upthread that I love it when former cast members host

bronx beat was really great too
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link
IMO pretty much every skit slayed
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it was a good night
was JT really playing fingerstyle guitar? props if so
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
i was working with a woman for a few months who was dead out of the bronx beat sketch, hit close to home

okay i'm going to watch this episode since EVERYONE is talking about how funny it is
though a lot of these same people think justin timberlake is funny so i am extremely skeptical
― Peace (peaceful) (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
He is funny on SNL!

eh.........
― Peace (peaceful) (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
he was good in this episode
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
But what about the sketch where he played a stripper? Or the one where he played an exotic dancer? Or the one where he danced all sexy? Or the one where he displayed no range and muttered monotonously while oiling his delts?

(Re: Channing Tatum)
haha, I was like, wait, what JT skits did I miss?
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
hahaha so in order to get bill o reilly on what up with that they had to promise him that he'd get to sit next to kate upton right?
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 21:52 (twelve years ago) link
Or just let him plug his new book.

Still would like to know what happened there, it seems super-sketchy for someone to leave or be let go in the middle of the season like that.
