[bettyellen]

17. Hey darling! I've been texting Pri so was trying to consolidate ...

[pinboy3niner]

19. The more the merrier

Though we have to wait a bit longer on the West coast.

[bettyellen]

33. The debate is good- they could have hit him harder, he actually looks much

More normal than he does in real life.

7. Definately watching this one! Bet SNL writers had a ball with the re-writes

10 minutes and counting .
Getting comfy & snacks & drinks are ready to go.

Can't wait to see what SNL does with all the comedy material tRump gave them this week!
I think we're goingto like this..a lot!

[mucifer]

8. Usually with political comedy they have to exaggerate. How are they gonna do that?

Should be interesting.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

9. What time will Trump tweet about?

3am? 4am? 1145pm?

[bettyellen]

10. I'm guessing his team has taken the phone and if they think they have a an opening they might try

Tweeting . He might try and wrestle back the narrative.
I hope it's humiliating for DJT, because it should
Be.

[bettyellen]

11. I'm expecting a shimmy dance number- I hope they are funnier than I am..

[bettyellen]

12. Opens w debate!!!

[progressoid]

14. God, he kind of looks like Trump!

[bettyellen]

18. His hair is much more normal than the real DJT!

[bettyellen]

15. Testing testing Gina!

[GoCubsGo]

16. Almost forgot. Thanks for the reminder!

Alec Baldwin is killing it!

[tavernier]

20. That was Priceless!!!

[HipChick]

21. Alec is spot on..

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Joining you bettyellen!

[bettyellen]

34. That was fun. Keep hoping Alec comes back for more trump

[Maru Kitteh]

41. Right? He was slightly frightening, and way dead on. Nailed a lot of mannerisms

others have missed.

[tavernier]

23. I feel sorry for the guest hostess.

So hard to follow that intro!!

[mucifer]

24. Loved the nod to Gene Wilder at the beginning.

[bettyellen]

25. Missed it?!?

[raging moderate]

26. Yes, I missed it. Where can I find it online?

We are new here, and our Comcast doesn't really work, and we are just lost.

[bettyellen]

31. I think it's early for Links - I just usually Google w video filter to find clips

Not sure if they normally post whole episodes in NBC? If you have on demand that usually takes 36 hours or so.

[bettyellen]

40. Here is a link to the opener! I'm sure more will be posted in the video forum

[raging moderate]

46. Thank you so much.

[mucifer]

29. Hillary's little tumble

[bettyellen]

37. I thought we were owed a cocaine joke because of that.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. They kind of covered that with the sniffing?

a duck under the podium and coming back up with confectioner's sugar under one nostril would have been very funny though.

[bettyellen]

27. The A Team!! sanders!! Lin Manuel! The big dog!

[bettyellen]

28. Shirtless Vladamir Putin !!

[radical noodle]

30. The Jill Stein reference was perfect...

[tavernier]

32. I'm Donald Junior

The brains.

[Laffy Kat]

35. Staying up late to see it.

Even though Sunday is my 6:00 a.m., 10-hour, work day. I'll take a nap during my lunch break.

[bettyellen]

36. So far is worth it. The weekend is singing and he's pretty good.

Am praying for another five minutes of Alec as Donald. I am not certain he is out of costume yet. More!

[Laffy Kat]

39. Thanks. It's just about to start here. I'm Mountain Time. nt

[bettyellen]

38. Weekend update are talking debate- Hillary Husein Obama

[question everything]

43. I don't remember. Did Trump appear on SNL, during the primaries?

I kinda think that he had. A small cameo, really.

[bettyellen]

44. Last November he guested and apparently danced to "hotline bling"

[pinboy3niner]

45. Both Trump and Hillary guested separately

Guess which one was better.
