I am constantly defending Nicholas Fein to my wife, she thinks that is easily Armisen's worst character, but even I thought this weekend was his worst ever. Felt like he was on autopilot or something.

Nicholas Fein is seriously the best new character of the last few years. Followed by Kristin Wiig's "lady who likes surprises"

Ugh. That is easily Wiig's worst character. By miles. I'd even prefer the constantly one-upping people character.

I wish they'd bring Tracy back just once a month or every two months just to do one Brian Fellow's Safari Planet sketch.

I'm sure it's been discussed but why is Kenan on this show?
because he fucking rules

I love when he does Pierre Escargot as Def Comedy Jam standup though

I wish he would just do straight-up Pierre Escargot. Bathtub and all.

Kenan is great. That weird Ziggy-style or whatever skit where he was dancing around on public access TV with all these controversial guests getting shot at was really great for some reason.

To think that if this cast had been on ten years ago I could be picking up a $10 two-pack of the Nicholas Fehn and Tim Calhoun feature films at Target today

Deep House Dish is the one Kenan thing I don't like...which is shocking considering how I feel about deep house in general. It should be funnier then it is.
I just remembered the skit he did with Fred Armisen where Fred played a racist deaf comedian. That was awesome.
I'd say I'm actually a really big fan of the current cast, though I don't think the writing is that great right now, not as good as it was just a few years ago, but similar.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:58 (fifteen years ago) link
The last Deep House Dish wasn't as good as previous ones.
― Black Seinfeld (HI DERE), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link
DHD was better in general w/ Dratch as the co-host instead of Samberg.

Nobody else can play a stage manager or show bandleader quite like Kenan Thompson.

“I remember when I first met him—I kind of didn’t like him,” says Greg Rivera, Pentz’s college roommate and, today, co-owner of the Mishka streetwear company, which has made shirts for Mad Decent. “He also was a white kid with dreads. And most white kids with dreads, obviously there’s something up with them."

I am imagining this show with a cast made up of all of the women ever to appear on the show who are still living and I think it would be balls-out awesome.

BRING BACK JAN HOOKS!
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:11 (fifteen years ago) link
It seems like even besides Tina Fey they've been bringing back more and more former cast members like Maya Rudolph and Chris Parnell for one-off appearances lately, which I like, but also get a little bummed out by because I wish they were still on the show every week.

Denny Dillon thanks you, HI DERE

Chris Parnell should be on every show on television.

I'd forgotten that Lovitz and Dunn were there a year before the late '80s super-overhaul with Hartman/Carvey/Nealon, etc.

Everyone picks on the 85 cast but the only ones that really struck me as unfunny were Sweeney and AMH. I think most of the problem was terrible writing.

comedy central only played the 85 seasons for like a month.
94-95 beats that season for the most blatantly misused cast of talented people in the history of SNL.
