i don't necessarily want Beck Bennett to make the "adult with the body of a baby" thing a running character, but it would be nice if he did something else memorable and ensured his spot in the cast

Jonah's done that 6yr old before. At least once. Still great imo

every single Kate McKinnon desk character is gold, but Olya might be the best.

Yeah, Jonah's 6yo is a recurring character. Still on fire!

A terrible British band, I think (the British part, I know they're fucking terrible).
Anyway, tonight's episode was fucking dire compared to last week's.

this episode was fantastic
I liked it too on the whole. Even the dinner at the boss's house sketch was funny in a painful way.
Cecily's YOU DON'T KNOW ME during Weekend Update was unexpected and fantastic.

Beck Bennett has solidified his place on the cast IMO; that sketch was objectively horrible and I still was cracking up at him

Show was humming along great until the museum sketch, which seems to have poisoned everything that came after it.

Also, QUIT PUTTING KYLE MOONEY ON TV.
I like Kyle Mooney. I did not like this episode. First half had some ok bits.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 2 February 2014 06:31 (ten years ago) link
liking the kyle mooney. first half was solid thx to melissa mccarthy but even she couldn't save the second half.
― balls, Sunday, 2 February 2014 06:36 (ten years ago) link
Kyle Mooney is still hit-or-miss. Sometimes, I'm on board but tonight's Super Bowl thing at the end was a dud - I just don't think I'll ever "get" Tim and Eric-style awkward humor (while I totally loved Tom Goes to the Mayor). That's what he was going for, right?
― Murgatroid, Sunday, 2 February 2014 06:39 (ten years ago) link
The episode as a whole needed more Kate McKinnon. She's the best.
― Murgatroid, Sunday, 2 February 2014 06:40 (ten years ago) link
She IS.
The Kyle Mooney thing at the end was one of his web characters that goes back a while pre-SNL. Lame on the web, lame on tv.
I knew they would bring Stefon back to send Seth off, but that whole thing fell a little flat. Too bad, because that will surely be the final time Stefon ever appears on SNL.

Well, there's not much she could've done this week. I mean, it's not like Justin Bieber has been in the news lately or anything.

I thought the CVS Valentines Day commercial was great.
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 2 February 2014 17:14 (ten years ago) link
infinitely better than past times mccarthy has hosted merely cuz most sketches hinged on her character being "weird" or angry rather than mostly mining for fat joeks
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:19 (ten years ago) link
Cvs was good and I liked the senator bit and the black history month thing. Maybe spent too much time on pretaped stuff.

I did too. I like Mooney! He's probably not right for SNL though. I think he used to do that sports bit on Fallon or Kimmel or something?

as an employee of S FM0 Ma and one of the possible 5 people who could be "Danny Trans", the museum sketch was disconcertingly odd.

pretty sure my first encounter with mooney doing that same sorta bit was as norm macdonald's "nephew" on the briefly lived, if brilliant, Sports Show
― Clay, Tuesday, 4 February 2014 23:51 (ten years ago) link
!
I actually searched on Twitter after the sketch aired to see if anyone from the museum had commented on it.

Sparkle is your real name Danny Cis because that'd be a giveaway.

It was verified by our education staff that something similar had been staged during the Kahlo show a few years ago... and run ins like that happen in the galleries all the time. It was pretty accurate all things considered.

UPDATE: A rep at NBC has confirmed the members of the 8G Band with Fred Armisen. From left to right in the photo, the band includes Seth Jabour (Les Savy Fav) on guitar, Kimberly Thompson (session drummer who has played for Beyoncé, amongst many others) on drums, Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys) on keyboards, and Syd Butler (Les Savy Fav) on bass.

Armisen is more off-putting than anything else he is, certainly more so than funny or musically talented
