The Offical Saturday Night Live Thread

[Donnie Darko]

Great news! Kristin Wiig returns to host the show May 11!

Meh.

She's really hit or miss for me. I think she CAN be really funny, but I find a lot of her recurring characters to be really annoying and not funny at all, including Gilly.

 

[Sparta*]

yeah Gilly was kind of annoying but she's still better then any female they have on the cast now

 

[Donnie Darko]

I think Kristen had a certain "it" factor that really makes her a star, but I'd up to this point at least, I prefer Kate McKinnon.

 

[Prison Mike]

Ben Affleck will host the season finale.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Nice. I was wondering when he would come back.

 

[DrDoom]

Dont know why but that Public Access Skit conclusion had me ROLLING!

 

[runawayboulder]

I LOVED the racist M&M greeter skit. Lmao!

The first part of "Darrell's House" had me shaking my head in disgust. Not a single laugh was had. I honestly said out loud, "Who writes this ****?".

The second part however...



That was GREAT. Which of course is only possible after seeing the first part.

 

[Donnie Darko]

The racist M&M was great. I also loved the monologue and the Jennifer Aniston sketch. Game of Game of Thrones was way better than their usual game show sketches. The best part of the "Darrell's House" sketch, to me, was when he turned and threw the thing at Vanessa Bayer on the stairs.

 

[LostSon88]

You saw the second part though right? When he finally pieced the episode together...

 

[Sparta*]

was there a new episode this past Saturday??

 

[LostSon88]

Yes. Zach Galifinakis.

 

[Matt Mortem]

You saw the second part though right? When he finally pieced the episode together...

That part was killing me. It was so nuts. Galifinakis always delivers.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Yeah, I think my favorite part there was when he was standing in the background texting, or his special effects wink.

 

[Sparta*]

crap, I gotta watch this on my PVR tonight! then, missed it Saturday

 

[Havok83]

I LOVED the racist M&M greeter skit. Lmao!

"Your butt is Puerto Rican but your boobs obviously didn't get the memo" LOL

 

[Havok83]

Wiig's back and the show is already off to a good start

Maya Rudolph is pregnant again?

 

[Prison Mike]

I loved the Disney show parody

 

[Havok83]

I loved the Disney show parody

that was pretty funny.

Oh boy why do they keep doing the Californian skit? That is terrible and is not funny at all. They need to end it

 

[Drizzle]

Those Lawrence Welk skits never fail to make me laugh. Doonice is my favorite Kristen Wiig character from SNL.

 

[DrDoom]

Fav was the Acupuncture skit, I bust out laughing when his skin bubbled out and exploded

 

[Drizzle]

As predicted, Seth Meyers will take over Late Night when Jimmy Fallon takes over The Tonight Show in early 2014.

He'll probably leave SNL after the first half of next season, but I'm wondering who's going to replace him on Weekend Update. Will they hire someone new or will they use one or two of the cast members to fill in the spot?

 

[Matt Mortem]

Bobby Moynihan is still my favorite cast member

 

[Sparta*]

Pretty good ep, but I agree the Californians is really overplayed

 

[JP]

I hope Taran Killam takes over WU. I'd love Kate McKinnon to do it with him, but the characters she does are too hilarious to not have popping up anymore.
