The Mother's Day commercial confirmed my belief that Kate McKinnon is Julia Sweeney with better impressions.

i liked the acupuncture skit because it was really stupid and not very well executed. the only thing i really enjoy about this show these days is its ramshackle charm, how it is often barely funnier than my college's improv troupe. this is why i rarely watch it.

Even with Zach's terrible show you had the editing bit that was pretty major lolz. This episode was unfunny through and through, and worth it only for VW tunes. Wiig had some great bits, but none of them were her recurring characters.

x-post - who will take over Weekend Update when he takes over Fallon's old spot

I'm gonna guess John Mulaney.

it seems logical to me that nbc spiked mulaney's pilot because they knew they were moving seth to fallon's spot, thus needed to promote mulaney at snl

Sad that Hader is bailing, but if Armisen leaves (long overdue) and Sudeikis leaves (he's had one foot out the door all season) and Seth Meyers moves to his late night show, that could give the writing a fresh edge and more room for whoever remains in the cast to move around a little. Kate McKinnon is obvs going to be promoted to full cast member status next season, and Aidy Bryant and Cecily Strong are possibilites. Tim Robinson seems mostly like dead weight.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:42 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like Robinson hasn't been given much of a chance to shine. Granted, I don't remember him too well from the Second City mainstage show I saw him in, but Chicago improv/sketch folks generally seem to love him.
― i, norbit (jaymc), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:48 (eleven years ago) link
New season is definitely going to signal a beginning of a new era!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:52 (eleven years ago) link
I like Stefon as much as the next person, I guess, but what I'm really hoping for on Hader's last episode is a Herb Welch sketch.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
Aidy Bryant has not done even one thing that I've liked to date, but to be fair they do give her a lot of the straight, unglamorous parts. But she doesn't do that well with them? Robinson also gets a lot of those kind of parts but I think he elevates them more than Bryant does.

That same source tells the Post that SNL veteran Jason Sudeikis will “probably” leave the show as well this year.

Stefon thing where they actually show you some of the crazy stuff he's been describing all these years was so lame and missing the point of the whole bit. kinda bummer that that character became Hader's SNL legacy, he was so much more than that.
― yeeznuts (some dude), Sunday, 19 May 2013 12:30 (eleven years ago) link
He'll always be Herb Welch to me, and 100 other characters. I always find the Stefon bits funny, but I have no idea why people get obsessed with them.

When it started it seemed like such a New York joke. LIke for people who remember reading Details before it was a "men's" magazine. I thought it was hilarious but didn't think anybody would get the joke.

Vh1 was marathoning Ben Affleck's other hosting turns, and I'd totally forgotten that Seth Meyers was SNL's John Kerry. And he wasn't too bad at it, either. Also, he was the host the weekend before the 2008 election when Tina Fey came back to do Palin with John McCain for the QVC sketch.
All of the ones I watched this afternoon were better than the one from last night.

been pretty blase about the last few of this season. I'll miss Hader but honestly kind of psyched for a season where Thompson is top dog so I kinda hope sudeikis splits too
― da croupier, Sunday, 19 May 2013 20:59 (eleven years ago) link
if thompson stays and sudeikis splits, then they've got one guy who's been there a decade and the second longest running is Bobby Moynihan!

Moynihan was a total sleeper. He's a genius.
The stefon send-off skit was funny because it's been so long since seeing Seth Meyers "act".
― dan selzer, Sunday, 19 May 2013 21:13 (eleven years ago) link
meyers on bs report said moynihan was his prediction for breakout season before this season started (i'll leave it to you guys if that happened or not). i'm guessing (hoping tbh) next season will be the killiam and mckinnon show. i'm guessing lorne will bring in a bunch of new ppl also, all the strong impressionists at second city, uccb, etc have to be drooling right now w/ hader gone. trying to remember the last bit snl beat into the ground as much as stefon that i was nevertheless not remotely tired of, i think i'd have to go back to wayne's world or something (there were alot of will farrell bits i never got tired of, bill brassky etc, but they only did those three or four times which does not come close to counting as beating into the ground on snl). curious who's gonna get that update chair, i'd predict cecily strong except her breakout character is an update character.
― balls, Sunday, 19 May 2013 23:29 (eleven years ago) link
