Saturday Night Live

[jaxind]

Haven't watched last night's SNL yet...did Rosie play Bannon?? I'm assuming not, since I think I would have seen something on here by now if she had.

[mucifer]

1. nope but there were several great political sketches you can watch some of them

in the video section.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. No, but they had a new (second) Trump

Leslie Jones.

[question everything]

15. And a third one - McKinnon (nt)

[Rhiannon12866]

21. She really is multi talented, can play anyone - male or female

[nolabear]

18. The erotic implications of that made me literally LOL.

And the fact that Melania was shocked to find her husband in town.

[Rhiannon12866]

22. That really was quite strange, LOL

I'm wondering if that was a one-time impersonation, or if she'll be reprising Trump!

[jaxind]

3. Really?!

Will have to watch!

[Raster]

4. the Kellyann Conjob*/Fatal Attraction is so good...

...it is scary!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Guy does a good Tapper huh. Surprised T hasn't tweeted about this bit

[nolabear]

19. That was the one that hit hardest. DAMN.

I hate to think so badly of anyone but she just betrays everything honorable to me. Te Fatal Attraction thing broke me up.

6. Maybe I was in a weird mood - but nothing seemed funny to me at all this week. It was

way too soon for another Sean Spicer skit. I heard they were having a really hard time trying to keep the level of humor up.

7. I'm with you a bit

I've just been watching clips but I was up last night so I watched the first few

The opening made me laugh but mostly because McCarthy just cracks me up. They need to get away from the pulling stuff out of the boxes bit. At this point that skit is a fill in by the viewer - we make ourselves laugh. I don't get the gum part.
Monologue was pretty good. Damn he was good looking back in the day. 30 Rock did a bit on this when they were switching to HD.
The Russell Stover ad was funny.
The Army skit - filler

Stopped watching at that point. Bedtime.

Leslie Jones "I wanna play Trump" was more aha than funny but that was a nice dig at the end with the limo.

The People's Court was pretty good. The fact that they did the skit after setting it up in the opening was very clever. That's not something I've not seen on SNL in all the years I watched. Th skit was pretty good. Bannon in the background and the small gavel to make his hands look bigger were nice touches. Again, those little details are not the norm for SNL.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Agreed. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. My husband' watching it now - and it's funnier than last night :) Agree with

your analysis though. Missed the gavel - good catch.

The gum part. Think there was something out there - he really does have a gum habit. Chews like thirty pieces a day and swallows them.

11. The Elizabeth Warren section bothers me

It's like they were making fun of her for being prepared. I don't know about anyone else, but i didn't like that part at all. It could be I missed some message of course.

[Blue_true]

13. Yeah, I didn't like the Warren skit or the barracks skit.

They sort of made Warren look like a nut, which she definitely is not. I think it was too soon to bring back McCarthy. The People's Court skit was excellent, the Leslie Jones skit as an alternative Trump was funny, if one got the angle, the Weekend Review skit needs some writing improvement, it missed the mark this week and last week, the guest musician knocked it out of the park with both his songs.

[BannonsLiver]

14. I thought it was great

It's a sketch comedy show so they make do some sketches about people you like. It's nothing personal.

[TrekLuver]

10. Maybe they'll save that for the season finale...

[Blue_true]

12. No, SNL had a cast member dressed as the grim reaper play Bannon. nt

[question everything]

16. I liked the "minor" character of the People's Court

Trump wants to call a character witness, a family member. His sons stand up but it is semi naked Putin who entered and they, humiliated seat back down. On his way to the "witness stand" Putin shakes hands with "Bannon" in his death monster custom, who is sitting behind the family.

[nolabear]

20. That was the point where I wondered if it would turn out to be Rosie under there.

I hope they're saving her. Surprise is a great element of comedy.

[yallerdawg]

17. But you know what makes SNL great?

The gut-busting comedy!

I almost died laughing so hard at the sit-up sketch at the end of the show!

Alec Baldwin is always so ready to go out there!
