I thought so too, I guess everyone agrees considering it was a week before a single comment was made about her episode.

Jim Parsons ep was really good, and Beck is great.

Lena Dunham was better than I expected

LOUIS CK TONIGHT!!!!

oh ****

Loved the the Jos A Bank commercial

Excellent.

Sam Smith can sing. Never heard of him before tonight. Amazing.

Christ this show is awful.

Louis' stand up was probably a 5/10 for him, but god as a single dad was good. Jeopardy sketch gave a few laughs but was hard to watch and basically 5% as funny as 'I know black people'. fast forwarded through the rest to see if anything caught the eye. Watched the doctor sketch which was atrocious

I understand the constraints of making a show like this, but this is simply dreadful programming.

baby boss tho

This and black jeopardy were pretty solid. Thought it was a decent show, and I've hated almost every show this season.

Baby boss, Dyke and Fats and the class president short were awesome.

The last bit was kinda awesome too. Just freaking ******ed in a great way. Same with the "Big Stuff" bit.

the class president bit was great. couple other sketches were good but overall, garbage. sam smith was pretty damn good. this is all

I had a sinking feeling people liked this sketch, I didn't like it the first time around and cringed to see it was back. Nothing worse than hating a sketch that turns out to be wildly popular and having to be subjected to it like 8x a season.

This is how I felt about 90% of Wiig's characters. Just the same crap over and over, with the audience hooting and hollering and applauding when the character enters or says their catch phrase. It seemed like she herself even hated doing them after awhile.

It's all Lorne's fault. For a very long time now he has come at the show from the pov of a producer (yes, I realize that's what he is) bur I'm saying that as opposed to what I believe he used to be, which was a guy who wanted to create an innovative and ground breaking sketch show. Sure he's the producer, but when you have the person who has full creative control making decisions based on what sketches will fit better between commercial breaks and what characters people haven't seen in awhile so they're due to be seen again, it just kills the comedy.

Sure, he takes chances once in a VERY blue moon, but damn man, so few people are still tuned in by 12:50 when they show Kyle Mooney's shorts, or they show something a bit absurd.

By the way, that one sketch with Louie and Bayer where he was trying to seduce her and they were both speaking in a stilted, purposefully strange delivery manner, I mean, that has to be one of the worst sketches I have EVER seen on this show, and I have probably seen over 90% of the episodes of SNL. It had absolutely no point; no hook, no purpose, no catch or funny concept. It was cringe inducingly bad. It was just five minutes of something that sort of seemed to resemble something that could possibly be funny. But they just never got to the joke. By the time they got their first laugh (Louie saying "How many holes are you comfortable with?") it produced a humongous laugh from the crowd, but this was due to the fact that there was si much discomfort and tension created from this non-sketch that the audience just needed some kind of catharsis. They NEEDED to laugh. And so they did, at the first thing in the sketch, already a few minutes in, that even resembled something remotely chuckle-worthy.

I actually felt bad for Louie because I get the sense that he himself hated doing it. Then at the end, he reads his last line off a cue card and it's a completely incoherent line of dialogue. He says, "What?!" They both break, and it cuts to commercial.

WHAT.THE.****.IS.HAPPENING.TO.THIS.SHOW.

Best cleavage since Katy Perry wore the Elmo shirt.

this new trend of music videos starring the women of the cast is horrific.

Wow this episode had all the things I love so much!

political cold open, Singing, singing, Fox and Friends skit, singing, hammy as a MFer Kate McKinnon weekend update character (people will hate her as much as they hated Wigg soon enough), generic Mets joke, Aidy Bryant playing a hot chick, dancing, "attentionteachersandstudents,' singing...

As always i liked the Mooney taped sketch, but - and i hate when people say this - this might have been my least favorite episode in years.

The concept can work, depends on execution. "Twin Bed" was awesome, this dong one was dumb as hell.

i havent liked any of them personally

Have there been more than 2? Not being rhetorical, I honestly don't remember.

what's the consensus of Colin Jost? His first segment was pretty awkward. Since then it's been nothing outstanding but I'd prefer to reserve judgement. Cecily is a little meh, I liked her better as party girl.

almost positive there was a 3rd. too lazy to look it up

worst weekend update hosts since Colin Quinn (the WOAT) imo. they aren't terrible or anything, but he doesn't have nearly the charisma Seth had, nor does it seem like it will be something that comes out over time. Cecily to WU was a bad move from the jump, but again, she's not awful. Should have just bred Beck for the role as a semi-serious news anchor type. He hasn't exactly lit the sketch world on fire.

Kate McKinnon most talented/versatile cast member IMO. Not a fan of Jost. I like Cecily but she is just ok on WU.

Jost is pretty boring so far, like a watered-down version of Seth Meyers who was already pretty bland imo. I agree that this is the worst Weekend Update has been since Quinn, but there's a chance they grow into the roles a bit.

+1

Also, everything Kyle Mooney does makes me laugh, with the exception of the terrible trying-too-hard Sprint commercials.
