adding two drummers from the caribbean for a tour is such an amazingly 80s gimmick. waiting on a red red wine cover.

caribbean drummers amirite

like hello the 80s called

I'd guess the model is I Zimbra/Remain In Light era Talking Heads, with additional disco dub 12"s.

more music should ape "I Zimbra" IMO

Regine's dad is black Haitian, her mom is mixed, she's the only fair-skinned member of her family, I don't know if she identifies as white or a poc

"Now boarding...all farters."

still cracking up at that

Namely the evil grin Moynihan gave before boarding

kind of want Moynihan and Thompson to get a buddy sketch show

Bobby M's face was precious.

Dear lord I hate arcade fire.

best meta episode of SNL was the Charles Grodin ep from (I think) season 1?

No, third season. See bumped Grodin thread.

Personally I loved the line in the drunk ex-porn stars sketch about "some shoes are flat... they are for nurses." Truth bomb right there.

am I the only person who loved that new guy's "stand up comic" character during Weekend Update? That was some Neil Hamburger shit

haha yeah that was good. loved his "USA" 90s leather jacket

Yeah, that was prob my favorite bit of the night, tbh.

I think i saw a youtube clip of him doing it before. I liked it but I don't think it went over that well.

shit was pretty dark imo

GUYS I just realized that the very-familiar-looking new castmember is none other than YOUTUBE SENSATION kyle!!!!

shit was pretty dark imo

the whipsaw from how-hard-it-is-on-the-road to yet another stupid generic joke was def dark

kyle

oh. huh.

he's been popping up in lots of tv ads recently and has a supporting role in stephen merchant's new HBO comedy

agree that w/ dan that the bruce chandling bit didnt really translate to weekend update too well

i love kyle, thought he was hilar

hope they give him lots of digital shorts where he can do his awkward man-on-the-street interviews

this is still my favorite kyle though

yeah loved bruce chandling though i was a huge fan of nicholas fehn and jeannie darcy also

fwiw I loved those Arcade Fire performances and the subsequent concert was so much fun, I might actually be getting into the band after years of my husband trying to make me like them.

Gross, what an unfashionable opinion to hold!

Their new sound finally made me feel free to not feel bad about finding them bland for years. Thanks Arcade Fire!

I wish the older ex-pornstars ads were still up somewhere - SNL and Hulu are way overzealous about pulling shit off of the internet.

ohhh i didn't realize that guy was Norm MacDonald's "nephew Kyle" on his short-lived Comedy Central show, those bits were funny.

shit i gotta try and get a writing job next season

one good joke every four years, maybe you should

i think i was in best display names only at least twice

man i thought this episode was really strong

they've been meta as hell in the past obv. smigel was on the bs report a week or so ago, he had original cast best cast, will ferrell best cast member though he said that bill murray is the funniest man he's ever met; anyway apparently he wrote the season ending sketch for the first lorne year back (the anthony michael hall year) that had the studio burn down and lorne only saving lovitz from the fire. real difference in tone from this happy cuddly tone they've had the past couple of years w/ the kristen and samberg and then the hader and armisen goodbyes and then this week where you had all the new cast stuff and the hey everybody cecily's working weekend update yay cecily stuff.

yeah it seemed weirdly myopic, acting as if most people who watch SNL are hanging on the edge of every splitsider blog post about who got hired to replace the departing cast members

that said i thought the "new cast member or arcade fire" sketch was really funny though mostly because of kenan

also kind of a bad look how they still try and shoehorn in references to things they couldn't make fun of this year because they weren't on the air (blurred lines etc)

Gross, what an unfashionable opinion to hold!

Don't be mean to me just because my snapchats suck nowadays :*(

It's tough to be a Canadian in your thirties and not into Arcade Fire in Toronto at least

new cast member or arcade fire was amusing enough on it's own (and jesus christ at the realization that they have been on there four times now and lorne plausibly should know what they look like and who they are) but kenan really made it a great sketch. usually w/ dudes that hang around forever i'm like 'good lord move on, get another job already' - thought it about nealon, thought it about hammond who was actually useful, thought it about armisen even though he was a big part of alot of my fave sketches even in his last season (this from i think miley's last hosting gig never got enough credit imo - http://videos.sapo.pt/f2WqzOK041KtHFzFuDzI), but w/ kenan i'm not remotely tired of him.

also kind of a bad look how they still try and shoehorn in references to things they couldn't make fun of this year because they weren't on the air (blurred lines etc)
