So that's Kate Upton

what upton with that

I don't know what exactly set Kristen and Maya (and Bill) off on Super $$$ Showcase, but I couldn't stop laughing either.

that was some quality breaking.

best episode of the season i think.

I don't know if I've ever seen Kristen Wiig break on SNL before.

best episode of the season i think.

Definitely. Even The Obama Show worked.

Seriously. Some people are alllllways gonna complain, but this is going down in history as one of the classic SNL casts. And this season in particular has been pretty damn strong.

Also: I propose, if 'What Up With That?' is ever retired, that SNL simply set a minute or two aside each week to showcase Jason Sudeikis dancing as his 'What Up With That?' character. It's one of those comedic miracles that somehow never becomes less funny with repetition.

Kate Upton's face whenever Sudeikis lept onto the stage was great.

I totally don't get "What Up With That?"

There ain't much to get. It's pretty much just a chance for people to act all stoopid.

I don't know what the fuck Abby Elliott was doing in that skit, but it was brilliant.

Lindsay Buckingham?

He was a singer/songwriter with a popular musical combo from yesteryear.

Ha, yeah, but wtf is he doing in this skit?

Always felt that was sort of the gag?

They should offer JT a featured player contract and call it a day.

Trying to figure out what Sudeikis up to in each of those gifs

looks to me like he's saying "please get me the hell off this show"

I hate Timberlake and even he's too talented to be in the cast of this show

I knew there was something that you hated, Morbs. I just couldn't remember what it was.

your display name?

Down, Hatebot.

The Bon Iver impersonation was A+++.

I bet Iver was in hs when n sync was at it's peak, last night mustve been pretty surreal from that perspective

JT! SNL peeps… that was hilarious. Armisen as prince… Also, i WISH i looked that good bald. That was it… the most surreal thing! ever!

Two recent musical guests have been (slightly) mocked within a couple weeks of appearing. I can't wait to see what they do to Karmin.

The rest was ok

I totally agree that this is one of the all time great casts, which you can tell, because nearly week, their very presence lifts so many sub-par skits. I seriously mean that as a complement. Just funny people.

Every week, that is.

I've noticed that Armisen's key to not breaking character is focusing all his energy on doing crazy eyes. Doesn't matter the character, he's always crossed-eyed and googly, I think to keep his mind of his cast mates and avoid eye contact.

the mix on the Sleigh Bells performance was just awful, i can't really fault the band on that one

Spit my drink out at "bon iver put himself to sleep."

I don't know if I've said this before, but would pay to watch a "What up with that" movie.

Be careful what you wish for.

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:

Aww. That's really nice.

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.

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.

I didn't know the Ringo part!

weird to think that taran killam is still a featured player... dude is in like every sketch

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)

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

i'm sick and should not be laughing this hard
