Saturday Night Live

Southland Tales are serious movie

man Bill Hader is the shit these days. it was great to see him go all the way with that Malkovich impression after he just teased it very briefly in a sketch when Malkovich was actually hosting, and the Dateline guy is becoming a good recurring sketch.

Yeah, his Keith Morrison impersonation is golden.

I'm so glad we got both a Brian Fellow's Safari Planet AND an Astronaut Jones sketch tonight. On top of that, Tracy's monologue was crazy funny.

UPPITY CALF!

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A DOG

"this movie is for anyone who has ever been told... he won't find a jetpack."

i saw about 60 secs, how the fuck does anyone find Tracy Morgan funny?

they watch more than 60 seconds?

they watch more than 60 seconds?

durn tootin

zac efron has zinged himself pretty hard so far! i might actually have liked him for it, if it wasnt for that fucking jacket he's wearing

I seriously hope they're not trying to turn that "Gilley" (sp?) sketch into a recurring thing for Kristen Wiig. AWFUL

this jon bovi thing is going on foreverrrrrrr

this show is horrible

This ep is shaping up to be really terrible. The bar that doesn't card sketch began well, but the writers obviously didn't know how to flesh it out and turned it into an Eliott Spitzer commercial WTF.

i have that exact chair zac efron is sitting on

I wish they would give Casey more weird/oddball characters, I really liked that silly running soldier sketch.

the post-monologue sketches were two wiig returning characters. i think her impression of kathy lee is funny but centering the whole sketch around BO was awful and the gilly sketch is fucking horrifying on all levels. stopped watching after weekend update but then there was a high school musical gag? unngh

tell me what yall think of this— i think first episode next season they should hand it over to the apatow/jody hill conglomerate. no host, but every skit is rudd, rogen, cera, hill, MCBRIDE, carrell, ferrell, segel etc etc. it would be funnier than every episode of the last 3 years combined

bill hader can stay on for that episode

i think they need to fire this cast and writers and have a guest cast for every show - the office cast one week, 30 rock cast the next week, bring back the arrested development cast around the time the movie comes on, curb your enthusiasm ppl when the show starts up again

real talk no challops the college humor show on mtv is a funnier sketch comedy show than snl atm

a combined human giant/lonely island episode would be fire imo

give an episode to 77 - ethan is a veteran sketch comedy writer, all you gotta do is replace puppets w/ humans

THIS IS THE WORST SNL FANFIC I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE NO STAMP OF APPROVAL

i like the whole cast except for casey wilson but the writers must be like i don't even know. so bad. then again a lonely island/human giant ep sounds like a waking nightmare to me

kristen wiig's kathie lee makes me lmbo way too much and i basically dont even remember what kathie lee gifford acts like

I actually like a majority of the current cast (except Bobby Moynihan and Seth Meyers), and really don't blame them for the lion's share of what's wrong with the show in its current state. It's Lorne Michaels' inability to hire worthwhile writers, because he has no idea anymore about what's actually funny. I have to imagine he's almost completely hands-off with regard to 30 Rock, because the level of funny on that show just seems way over his head.

I caught myself thinking during one of the commercial breaks tonight "I wonder when the final episode will be. Five years from now? Ten years from now? Will Lorne ever leave (again) and turn it over to someone else (again)?"

Gillie (sp? eh..) sketch was really bleak

I've warmed to some of Wiig's characters that I initially hated, but I can't ever see that happening with Gillie/Gilly/whatever.

That Jon Bovi sketch is like something an eighth grader comes up with on the back on the school bus.

don't know why, but i like gillie.

I picture a late-night writers' meeting where in one room you've got Sudekis cracking himself up with lines like "I'm an Indian on a silk-pony I don't ride" while in the next room, a circle of interns piss their pants as Kristen Wiig wears an afro wig and goes "What? What?"

Didn't see this week's Gilly sketch, but the one with Beyonce was fucking hysterical.

wow this is retarded

Jon Bovi is seriously the hackiest premise. It's like something you do to amuse yourself when no one else is around. Watching those two guys totally go for broke on that sketch makes me a little sad.

xpost, yeah that is about the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read.

kristen wiig's kathie lee makes me lmbo way too much and i basically dont even remember what kathie lee gifford acts like

this is otm. zac effron even just attempting the same facial tic/reaction jokes was awful b/c of how amazing wiig is at it

xpost An even better idea would be giving all those casts their OWN TV shows where they can develop audiences and hone skills!

Not to mention that 2 our of 4 of the shows Jordan mentions are actually making episodes, and only 1 out of those 2 is funny.

all of those shows are funny u crazee

I support J0rdan's idea but only if it uses the casts of ER and Law & Order.

Normally I fuck with J0rdan, but wtf is he talking about here? Dumbest idea ever.

i enjoyed the gilly and jon bovi sketches but mainly because i love will forte and want him to be in every single sketch

not to mention the fact that it wasn't like Rogen or Rudd or Carell were hot shit on the show when they hosted in the past anyway xpost

Didn't see this week's Gilly sketch, but the one with Beyonce was fucking hysterical.

same here. don't like the idea of it becoming a running thing, though.

real talk no challops the college humor show on mtv is a funnier sketch comedy show than snl atm

Agreed.

can't wait for the gilly movie

i love the current cast but i hope they don't bring abby elliott back next season. michaela watkins fits right in though.

also: PLS MORE NONWHITES IN THE CAST

wow, abby elliott is

a) chris elliott's daughter, and
b) 22 yrs old!

still, co-sign w/get bent

michaela watkins is on some jan hooks ish. just good, solid impressions when you need em.

Is Darrell Hammond in like one sketch an episode?
