SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Five members of the cast (including Alec Baldwin) nominated for Emmys:

Also Bill Hader, Donald Glover, Tina Fey and Tiffany Haddish for their episodes.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Alex Borstein or Betty Gilpin taking that. And Shalhoub.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is going to have a huge night.

 

I think Winkler - who has never won a primetime emmy - will win it. The performance is great and he's about the most-liked guy in Hollywood.

 

Per his Bill Simmons podcast appearance today, the next episode of James Andrew Miller's "Origins" podcast will be the upcoming season of SNL. Debuting around Sept. 12, the podcast is.

 

That Winkler never won an Emmy is frankly stunning.

 

The 70s had some powerhouse comedy shows, MASH, All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore. I get it, but he is overdue for some acknowledgement.

 

Well, Fonzie was a great side character, but there wasn't a lot of range required in that role.

 

I think he might have had a better shot in the supporting category - he was always up in the lead - but then you have Ed Asner, the MASHers, the Barney Miller, Taxi, Rob Reiner dominating the supporting.

 

What do I win?

It will be interesting to see how the Trump stuff plays now. I think Baldwin pretty much played him as an ignorant boob. I have to think he's going to be played a tick more "mean" this year.
Typical parody of political types is to exaggerate a character's traits. Even if they had a sketch of him rapping just so he could drop n-bombs - it would be too forgiving and tame.

 

‘Come Back Barack’ (‘SNL’) wins Emmy for Best Original Music and Lyrics, stops Pasek and Paul from earning EGOT

First of what could be two Emmys for Kenan.

 

Good for Kenan Thompson. He's one of best cast members on the show.

Also, Chance the Rapper certainly made the song good
