SNL not as good as usual

I like the regular cast. Too much Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake, and they sound the same as the last time they were on together.

Right now, Cecily Strong is on....She's fabulous, so are the rest of the regulars...

No politics at the beginning.. very disappointed....

It's already on line . . .He's very cute, but I didn't pay much attention to the tattoos. Is he going to be a regular?

I miss Cecily Strong on Weekend News doing "the girl you don't want to meet at a party," and Bill Hader doing Stefan...

just got to Justin's first song...I'm worried he's gonna get cut in half.


On a side note, I'm no fan of JT's music but I love him on SNL. I wish he'd be on there all the time.

But the music has been crummy. The one song was a light show. All he needs is a mike, doesn't need all that stuff....

And Jimmy Fallon is just plain trying too hard. And the voices he does are getting tired....

just not what I usually listen to. My wife, on the other hand, likes his music and she agrees with you - she just didn't like that song.

She's good in everything she does....

I miss Kristin Wig - Kate does all the same kind of stuff, and she's just as good as Wig..

Yes, she was good as Billie Jean King

Some of SNL was good tonight, mostly the parts with the regular cast. Last year, they had a bunch of old regulars show up, and it was better....
