SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Elon Musk just hosted a few months ago. He’s close.

 

I’d like to see Meghan Markel host.

 

Speaking of flaming MAGA assholes

Rob Schneider Says Kate McKinnon Singing “Hallelujah” Was the Moment He Knew SNL Was “Over”

 

I can’t believe he’s throwing away his career like that! I think the copy machine guy movie was finally green lit.

FWIW tho, I thought that cold open he referenced was a bit much.

 

I was saying "Hallaluia" that we wouldn't be seeing Kate McKinnon as Hillary anymore.

 

Judge Box'O'Wine ... or does she not realize that Cecily Strong is only acting drunk on air?

 

I'm here watching Burnett on Pluto, and the thought just occurred to me: That had better not be the opinion of the guy who hired Jimmy Fallon for his cast.

 

Ha, well, some things will remain forever unexplained, like Lorne's embracing of Fallon.

It's cute that that story mentions that there were rumors Villasenor was leaving in August, when she pretty publicly crapped on the show a couple of months before then. (Not sure when exactly, but I know it came up in this thread.) I also don't know where they dug that file photo up from, since she's had the tuft of silver / grey hair for years now.

They also buried the more surprising news - Aristotle Athari gone after one year as a featured player. I thought his AI character on Update got a good response, so that's pretty surprising. Maybe someone gave him a bag to do whatever he wanted? So many streamers out there now, and given the success of "I Think You Should Leave," there are worse ways they could spend their cash.

 

Villasenor is a great impressionist. Don't think she ever quite found the right role there, though some of her stuff was very good. Moffat a good utility guy but seems a lot like Beck Bennett as replaceable. Great as the Guy Who Just Bought a Boat and playing Eric Trump.
