drake was solid imo

Yeah, dude was funny.

I missed the first 15 mins, but I'll catch it on hulu tomorrow.

i just posted this on twitter; then again i've been drinking:

Drake is really funny! SNL should hire him and curtail his rap career -- like Will Smith without the crap Oscarbait post-apocalypse sci-fi.

I mean, The Fresh Prince was funny before he went mersh/scieno; maybe Drake's latent Bar Mitzvah Boy has better things in store.

also from twitter:

Sasheer Zamata is a star; she barely did anything and she's already Kate McKinnon levels of burning up the TV screen.

he was pretty incredible i thought

his katt williams was absurdly good

people say this about timberlake but i think drake could actually be on the cast... he's got a lot more charisma than any of the white dudes they added as featured players this season

timberlake is super tryhard too but drake was smooth

also kate mckinnon's bieber was SCARY GOOD

Good Mornin' Miami should definitely keep recurring.

Bayer's poetry teacher wasn't as good as last time; the gulps/verbal tics felt forced.

Drake was great, best host of the year so far, shit, best cast member so far.

Zamata's timing was amazing.

Still don't know who most of the other new guys are. When AT&T Guy comes on I assume it's a commercial. Except he's not as funny as he is in the commercials. And he's not funny in the commercials.

Oh wait, Noel Wells, her Nancy Grace killed.

Ugh, forgot about that awful Indiana Jones sketch. Really really fucking wrong and horrible.

I guess that gif doesn't show up? Maybe this: http://cjzero.com/gifs/KateMcKinnonBieberSNL.jpg

So good.

How many Christie skits?

such a shame for them that the POTUS's crimes aren't funny

i enjoyed the performance of aubrey drake graham in this episode of saturday night live

i caught only the news (pretty good as always) and the skit with drake and nasim p. in some kind of disney live show? was kind of unbearable. but i guess i should hulu this huh.

Haven't seen the show in years until this episode. Loved the Bieber quick-shifts from shrug to pose.

I was thinking last night that when Seth's last episode comes around in a couple weeks, Hader's coming back to do Stefon right? It's inevitable.

indiana jones was prob weakest skit of the night but Drake worked it admirably. I kinda feel that Aidy doesn't have the greatest range, but she kills it, great in that slumber party skit.

episode was stolen by Taran's Eminem. That whole skit was great.

drake is kind of like the dean martin of the 2010's

Permanently drunk?

shout out to the guy in the audience who turned around and said "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL" to Vanessa Bayer and then mimed cunnilingus to the camera

Haha!

New Weekend Update co-anchor.

ugh, i was hoping for mulaney. maybe his sitcom will be good.

He wrote some of the best update bits, so that's a good sign.

bah was hoping for Mooney

Mooney is funny but he doesn't strike me as an update anchor type. the fact that this guy has worked on the show for almost 10 years and was never put in the camera in any significant way seems weird, but i guess we'll see if he's good.

Mooney is funny

This is still unproven.

I thought Mooney was good on the frat pledge sketch, but other than that, meh.

nah I love his terrible NY comic guy routine

Huh, I never realized that the show was looking for a co-anchor for Cecily Strong -- always assumed she'd just do it solo.

That said, I've never been particularly impressed with her on Update. She doesn't seem entirely comfortable with the format, like she's not sure how to react after she delivers the punchline. Which I guess makes sense, since her roots are in improv/sketch, but I just happened to watch Amy Poehler's Update debut the other day, and she had lots of charisma and confidence on day one.

Cecily is good but she definitely seems like half of a team -- to be the first solo anchor in over a decade now i think you'd have to have a really big persona that doesn't leave room for someone else

well Seth was solo for a while i mean but he was part of a team for a good long while before that

Btw, I think the addition of Sasheer Zamata made this season's cast the biggest since 1991-92.

we'll see who makes it to next season. it's gonna be a bloodbath.

Kate's Bieber was incredible.

Zamata was great, left way more of an impression than any of the new guys this year. Noel is slowly fitting in. I don't think they know what to do with Kyle Mooney besides putting him in those slightly surreal shorts, which I do like. I'm really struggling to see why Brooks Wheelan was hired at all. I can't tell the rest of the new guys apart.

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

open + host monologue both hilarious to me

6yo jonah hill is killing it

is that a jackie mason he was doing?

overly precocious upper west side jewish 6yo?

so glad they have a more diverse cast so that they can cast black people as all the gangsters. progress!

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.

^ this

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

WTF is Bastille?
