SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Shales can be so smug at times that you're sure his head is buried up his own asshole, a la South Park.

 

I usually love Shales but Wiig is just ok for me, nothing special.

SNL is DVR'd in my by someone else who resides there. If I do watch it, it takes about 15 minutes.

 

I thought Wiig was very overrated on SNL. I think she's going to be an amazing movie star, because she has the looks to be a leading lady and the chops to do comedy, which does not happen that often.

The fact that she has enough clout to write her own stuff won't hurt either. Has that ever happened with an actress before?

 

The Shales stuff on McFarlane smacks of somebody who got stiffed on a lunch check.

 

Pharoah is dead on with Will Smith, Jay Z and Kanye. Frickin' hilarious.

 

The Thursday night attempt was awful...

 

Agreed. And I thought his Obama impersonation was off. He oversold the pauses and that really killed it for me.

 

It was better than Armisen's. The guy on Key and Peele does a better Obama impression, but Pharoah's was much better than Armisen.

 

I give him a pass on the first one. He had to have been a tad nervous.

 

Only line that got a rise out of me: "She said it was compacted like a can of V8, followed by two minutes of hot dog water."

This episode is already tops on my list for best of the year, as JGL got partially naked while mocking Magic Mike during the monologue. GOLD! Also, hot.

 

Another cold open for Jay Pharoah, and he seemed much more comfortable spoofing Michael Strahan.
