Saturday Night Live

I'd like to think there's going to be some kind of Mitt sendoff tonight.

I think it'd be hilarious if they just kept Mitt Romney on and made him a reoccurring character.

Wasn't crazy about Sudekis' impression during the primaries, but the moments starting at 2:12 won me over this fall.

My favourite was the opening show this season, where they'd cut from Obama to his "secret weapon," and you'd get Romney singing "Old MacDonald" at a town hall. It was a week or two before the first debate, when everything was going wrong for Romney. I can't find the clip on YouTube.

Romney hi-fiving dude's head was fantastic

What in the hell

retro CGI was awesome i thought.

Classic Windows screensaver

I kinda liked it actually, but I can't remember SNL ever doing anything like that before

pretty sure i made that video at Six Flags Georgia on my 8th grade trip back in 1996, but the song was by Offspring and there might have been a rocket ship.

Kanye had a weird set up for her performance last time too, but iirc it wasn't green screen.

My wish for a whole 'Ellen' sketch came true!

*his

the impersonation is good, but they really don't know what to do with it.

Was I the only one nervously anticipating Chris Brown walking out during that second performance? I just know that douche is backstage somewhere.

So when they run a pre-recorded fake ad as the final sketch, does that mean they ran out of time?

i died @ the mcdonalds diss sketch

rihanna xfcs were adult swim/90s mtv

drunk uncle also KILLED IT

The featured ladies are sure getting a lot of screen time lately. Show needs a bit more Nasim and Vanessa.

Not having ever watched Homeland, that sketch was pretty much the impression I have of the show. It wasn't all that far off, was it?

Can't wait for Rhianna's star turn in Tron 2: Ancient Greek Adventure.

Rhianna worked the greenscreen well, but she can't match Insane Clown Posse.

i had just watched homeland s1e1 earlier today and understood 98% of that parody & im not worried abt spoilers

also am currently watching homeland s1e2

wow this rihanna green screen is truly one of the worst things i've ever seen

shit is so 2010 smfh

this was peak drunk uncle

Really sad Tim Calhoun wasn't running for election this year.

Tim Calhoun: [ meekly ] I'm Tim Calhoun. And I'm running for the office of Senator. A lot of people don't know who Tim Calhoun is. So I'm going to tell you who Tim Calhoun is, and why I think Tim Calhoun should be the next senator.

I, Tim Calhoun, am.. nice.. [ flips index card ] ..trustworthy.. genuine.. likes music.. dances.. [ very quietly ] ..aggressive. [ flips index card ] I have used a lot of some drugs, and some not at all. Mainly pot and beer. But a little bit of cocaine. I'm real sorry about that cocaine. But there are times when I feel like partying and staying up realy late.. and cocaine can relaly help you do that. [ flips index card ] I am not married. So muy sexual history is not relevant. But, if you must know, I had some babies. Mainly by black ladies. But some by white. And a China baby. [ flips index card ] I love whales. But they have to go. So I'm going to organize a whaling party that will not stop until all whales are dead. [ flips index card ] America needs another big lake.

In conclusion, and in summary, you can't spell "America" without "Tim Calhoun". And the letters R, E, and A. The End.

I am Tim Calhoun, and I am running for candidate for president for America. My candidacy is based on honesty, so there are a few things about me you should know.

(pauses to look at his cards)

I've been in jail. It's not important how many times, but if you must know, let's see, one….two…thirty-one times.

(pauses again to change cards)

There are times when I'm not gay at all. But then, there are other times, I'm so gay, it more than makes up for it.

(pauses to change cards)

Here's where I stand on the issues: I'm glad that drunk driving is illegal. When I'm drunk, I drive like crap!

(pauses to change cards)

I propose, that for scientific testing purposes, we breed a type of midget even smaller than the normal midget. We can call them, “Shetland Midgets”.

(pauses to switch cards. Much longer hesitation)

There's nothing on this card.

(pauses again to switch cards)

In conclusion, and in summary, read my lips: (lip-synchs a few sentences quickly) I think that says it all. Vote for me, Tim Calhoun, for candidate for president for America for goodbye!

the new women are all pretty good imo, love the spotlight really getting shared in the post-wiig era, i imagine one of them will break away from the pack at some point but it could be practically any of them.

It'll be McKinnon

you may be right. Cecily Strong is great too, though.

come on dude, McKinnon is stealing all the scenes breh

McDonald's sketch was a+

I don't like Anne Hathaway much, but her Katie Holmes and her Claire Danes were both pretty amazing. Especially that Holmes - she had it down perfectly.

I was on the fence about Jeremy Renner, but these are pretty fucking great

Why is the Ellen skit not on Hulu then?

music clearances, maybe?

Not that funny, maybe?

The "your childhood home" ad was pretty spot-on writing.

I'm so short my sneakers are in my drivers license photo.

yeah excellent williams impersonation. not actually funnier or different than williams himself, just dead-on.

How did Taran Killam not break in that final sketch when Hader had his hands all over him?

He just thought about the previous 90 minutes

Kind of shocked there was no Bobby Moynihan/Guy Fieri bit. And other than "your childhood home" and the drones cartoon, fucking dud.

did not like the drones cartoon.

I liked the Stand Off.

Yeah, I thought The Stand Off was pretty funny. Your Childhood Home was too. Drones was lame.

Kenan was in the promos with Renner, but only made one appearance in The Californians tonight, right? What a waste.

I really wish The Californians didn't exist.
