Saturday Night Live

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?

A terrible British band, I think (the British part, I know they're fucking terrible).

Anyway, tonight's episode was fucking dire compared to last week's.

i'm having more fun watching some like it hot. ilx should collectively move over to pbs

I moved over to my computer and soon, I shall move over to my bed.

one time i thought i banged seal team six but it was actually sixteen seals

this episode was fantastic

I liked it too on the whole. Even the dinner at the boss's house sketch was funny in a painful way.

Cecily's YOU DON'T KNOW ME during Weekend Update was unexpected and fantastic.

I'm so done with Kyle Mooney tho, for real.

I am not on board with Kyle Mooney.

The ex-porn stars needs to be the next SNL movie.

has anyone posted Heterosexual Mens Figure Skating?

Beck Bennett has solidified his place on the cast IMO; that sketch was objectively horrible and I still was cracking up at him

I'm weirdly fascinated by this article on the SNL after-party:

Show was humming along great until the museum sketch, which seems to have poisoned everything that came after it.

Also, QUIT PUTTING KYLE MOONEY ON TV.

I like Kyle Mooney. I did not like this episode. First half had some ok bits.

liking the kyle mooney. first half was solid thx to melissa mccarthy but even she couldn't save the second half.

Kyle Mooney is still hit-or-miss. Sometimes, I'm on board but tonight's Super Bowl thing at the end was a dud - I just don't think I'll ever "get" Tim and Eric-style awkward humor (while I totally loved Tom Goes to the Mayor). That's what he was going for, right?

The episode as a whole needed more Kate McKinnon. She's the best.

She IS.

The Kyle Mooney thing at the end was one of his web characters that goes back a while pre-SNL. Lame on the web, lame on tv.

I knew they would bring Stefon back to send Seth off, but that whole thing fell a little flat. Too bad, because that will surely be the final time Stefon ever appears on SNL.

Imagine Dragons predictably have EXTRA DRUMS. And strings. Who was rapping?

Kendrick Lamar

you probably know him better as Benzisto Mejustacar

the beginning of that was the exact moment i went to bed, so i guess i made the right decision. thought McCarthy had some of her best sketches to date last night, especially the vision board one and the crazy politician one

The episode as a whole needed more Kate McKinnon. She's the best.

Well, there's not much she could've done this week. I mean, it's not like Justin Bieber has been in the news lately or anything.

I thought the CVS Valentines Day commercial was great.

infinitely better than past times mccarthy has hosted merely cuz most sketches hinged on her character being "weird" or angry rather than mostly mining for fat joeks

Cvs was good and I liked the senator bit and the black history month thing. Maybe spent too much time on pretaped stuff.

I play Beth!

i loved the kyle mooney superbowl bit

I did too. I like Mooney! He's probably not right for SNL though. I think he used to do that sports bit on Fallon or Kimmel or something?

as an employee of S FM0 Ma and one of the possible 5 people who could be "Danny Trans", the museum sketch was disconcertingly odd.

pretty sure my first encounter with mooney doing that same sorta bit was as norm macdonald's "nephew" on the briefly lived, if brilliant, Sports Show

!

I actually searched on Twitter after the sketch aired to see if anyone from the museum had commented on it.

Sparkle is your real name Danny Cis because that'd be a giveaway.

It was verified by our education staff that something similar had been staged during the Kahlo show a few years ago... and run ins like that happen in the galleries all the time. It was pretty accurate all things considered.

Didn't see that coming.

UPDATE: A rep at NBC has confirmed the members of the 8G Band with Fred Armisen. From left to right in the photo, the band includes Seth Jabour (Les Savy Fav) on guitar, Kimberly Thompson (session drummer who has played for Beyoncé, amongst many others) on drums, Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys) on keyboards, and Syd Butler (Les Savy Fav) on bass.

Armisen is more off-putting than anything else he is, certainly more so than funny or musically talented

Two members of Les Savy Fav!

xp I could understand that feeling as applied to someone like Morrissey or Woody Allen, i.e. where the person has been off-putting in ways mostly independent of their entertainment product. But I don't know how you could feel that way about Fred Armisen. I'd guess that you find him off-putting because he shows up in stuff and you already think he's not funny or musically talented?
