The Offical Saturday Night Live Thread - Part 2

[Sparta*]

SNL peaked with chris pratts episode. The rest have been just meh and this cast is the weakest i can remember

if SNl peaked at the season premiere thats pretty sad lol I agree with you though, except bill hader's episode is my favorite and pratts is my 2nd fave, no other episode really stood out to me

 

[Donnie Darko]

I still think the best episodes this season have been Bill Hader and Woody Harrelson.

I actually liked the Kevin Hart episode. It had some stinkers (the soap opera reunion and the dragon attacking the castle, for example). It wasn't great, but I loved his monologue and thought he carried some of the sketches pretty well (plus, I always love Kate McKinnon as Bieber). Off the top of my head, I'd say it was way better than Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey and probably some others I can't remember off the top of my head.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Also, not having high hopes for the Blake Shelton episode (even though I like him), but JK Simmons should be fan-****ing-tastic.

 

[Drizzle]

Surely they can't go a whole episode without JK Simmons bringing back J. Jonah Jameson. It's his most famous role! He reprised the role for The Simpsons, he can do it for SNL.

 

[RetroNaz]

I really enjoyed this episode simply because I'm a huge fan of Sia.

It was cute but nothing to write home about, do you agree though that this current cast just isnt working? Including tje mews update duo as well.

After having no one but Wiig, I think the show finally has a great female cast. With the exception of Leslie, I think all the women are solid. I only wish they'd use Bayer and Cecily more but I fear this may be their last season. The men? I really dont have an issue with them outside of Beck and Kyle. I think they got a great find in Pete Davidson. Honestly, I think the current cast overall is quite alright

I actually hope they do an "Oz" sketch, since I think that was the first place a lot of us saw him.

Lol, naw man, I don't write, I'm the "idea man." I walk into the war room, drop a bomb like that, and then go for a three-hour martini lunch.

Murphy.

 

[Urich Leeds]

Holy ****. Didn't expect him to show up.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Anyone have any thoughts on the Blake Shelton episode?

It wasn't great by any stretch, but I thought they catered the show to his strengths well. I loved the song about the old man's dead wife.

 

[Charlie Boy]

I thought it was pretty weak. There were a few good bits here and there though.

 

[Drizzle]

So was it just me or was last night's episode the best of the season so far? JK Simmons killed it, and there was a ton of great stuff in it, like the Totino's commercial, the Snow Day for Teachers music video and the Career Day sketch. Plus another great Weekend Update appearance from Taran Killam as Jebidiah Atkinson. I loved it!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Tonight is the 40th anniversary. Damn shame that Gilda Radner, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks is gone.

This will be the return of Eddie Murphy for the first time in 30 years.

Alas, this guy isn't going to be healthy enough to be there:

I could see the first sketch being Presidential with:

Obama:

George W. Bush:

Clinton:

George HW Bush:

Jimmy Carter:

Also pulling for a Celebrity Jeopardy sketch.

 

[Pink Ranger]

OMG, Sarah Palin even showed up.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I just hope they don't have any more maudlin tributes to dead cast members. Last time they did that, it was really coming across as self-important and dragged down the tone of the show.

 

[JabarR]

OMG, Sarah Palin even showed up.

She makes me wanna cringe!!!!!!!! Glad to see Eddie Murphy!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Gives hope that Eddie will return to host.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Needs Sean Connery tonight:
