SNL 12/7/19

DaBaby??? DaFuq?!?

Fallon as Trudeau, Rudd as Macron and Corden as Johnson

This is the first time I’ve found Corden tolerable

Rudd sounds like he’s doing a German accent

haha Trump's gonna be pissed SNL is parodying his international mocking

I dunno about this tho. Are we supposed to feel bad for trump here?

McKinnon needs to go after this season. Her shtick is getting tired

This is such a subdued Trump tonight

Oh thankgod they added this Melania commentary because it was feeling very much like: poor trump

Cordon is CBS. Why is Lorne allowing him on this show?

It’d be funny if it turns out that Da Baby isn’t a rapper.

Jlo is struggling in this monologue. So weird. You’d think she’d be able to carry this off.

J Lo's tuxedo looks ill fitted.

What the fuck is this monologue? Jlo bragging about her life is comedy now?

Ah yes. So glad jlo is singing because we all know she is such a strong singer.

Plenty of background voices to help Jen get through the song

her hair looks horrible

No wonder, R13. She ripped it off.

That was the worst monologue I’ve seen in years. I thought this was a COMEDY show

She did a terrible job lip synching.

Ok. So it was all a ruse to get her into a Versace dress she wore 20 yrs ago? Exciting.

Bitch slayed the opening monologue!

I was waiting for her to rip that tux off.

Trump gonna be so butt hurt haha

I bet Madonna's jealous. When's the last time she hosted SNL

R22 lol

Wow I fucking love this commercial

I feel like trump will say something about this being bullshit because they said he wore clip on ties when he always wears real ties

Big eyeroll for that opening monologue. "My life is great compared to yours!!!!"

Jenny has a great body.

She looks great but she has more wrinkles than I would have expected.

You guys do realize that jho can't actually sing?

J Lo should not be mocking marriages. She's about to enter her 3rd failed one.

R30 she looked really rough in hustlers. Body was impeccable but her face had deep wrinkles

Oh look Bowen Yang is playing gay for a change. That lisp is Hilarious!!!

They did this sketch back when Margot Robbie hosted a few years ago.

Gross. Fugly Pete is back

She needs to stop mentioning arod. It’s seeming sad.

honestly I'm permanently turned off of Pete after hearing he wants everyone who goes to see his standup to sign a prenup so they can't discuss or even review it, never mind take video. That's beyond obnoxious. Fuck him

Loved the HGTV sketch.

“Sign a prenup” hehe

That was a cute scene. Amazing she let them use that awful lighting on her. She looked all of her 50 years.

An A-Rod appearance was probably a condition of Jlo's hosting gig.

[quote] J Lo should not be mocking marriages. She's about to enter her 3rd failed one

You need to keep up dear, it will be her FOURTH marriage

Great skit

Agree, R39. The HGTV sketch was good.

[quote] They did this sketch back when Margot Robbie hosted

I knew I’d seen it before.

That HGTV skit was really dreadful. I mean what is the message/point here? I've known many people in relationships where people considered one "hotter."

I wish they would let her best friend Leah Remini host the show. She's really funny!

R40 haha oops meant NDA thanks for catching it

Another skit on how hot and unbelievably stunning jlo is. Did Arod write this episode tonight?

There's something so disingenuous about J Lo.

I’m sick of this old desperate bitch.

J Lo really has nothing to offer these skits but that she's pretty.

The ugly sisters one was hilarious

This whole show boils down to: Jlo is a whore

JLO is always great on this show. You guys just take Trump too seriously.

2 pre-filmed sketches so far.

Sort-of live from New York

This week is so far so disappointing

[quote]I bet Madonna's jealous. When's the last time she hosted SNL?

I doubt she cares considering SNL hasn’t been funny since the 90’s.

Besides, J Lo had to resort to fucking Madonna’s sloppy seconds. I bet it drives J Lo crazy that Madonna dated and fucked A-Rod a decade ago.

Every sketch tonight is going to be about hot and desirable she is????

At least we won’t have to sit through 2 performances of Jenny’s crap music

Lonely men are waiting for u here !

DaBaby is tard.

[quote]This week is so far so disappointing

What do you expect from a humorless self-obsessed old ho who isn’t even funny in the first place?

I know I may be ab bit of anomaly on DL because I actually listen to hip hop. DaBaby has one sexy rap voice.

The fuck???

Da Baby is cute though. Wish he would get naked

Dang, I thought he was going to perform Nessun Dorma.

[quote]Every sketch tonight is going to be about hot and desirable she is????

I’m sure the old bitch insisted that be a condition for her to appear on the show. Her ego is so tiresome.

This ghetto shit is so boring. So done. We've seen it all before a million times. Yawn.

Is DaBaby the son of DaBrat?

That song is destined to become an annual holiday classic.

I love DaBaby. Lit

Not a rap fan but DaBaby is hot as fuck. The masked dancers at the end were pretty cool, too.

ooh he's hot

DaBaby has a big ten incher according to online gossip a few months ago

[quote]ooh he's hot

He looks ridiculous.

Kate is playing Pelosi too?

really?

I thought her Pelosi was pretty good.

Looks like Beck Bennett really enjoyed Thanksgiving.

Is J Lo actually not lip synching in this skit?

The rap skit was cute but the best thing about it was Alex's huge ass in those pants.

JLo mediocre singing those songs lol damn. Her vibrato is even shaky

Why does Dababy’s pendant say ‘KIRK’? Is that his real name?

is this jewelry skit a resurrection of something similar they had 10 years ago?

J Lo's range is so nonexistent. Every sketch was "J Lo is hot" or "J Lo is trashy."

This Hoop thing was unfunny and stupid. JLo doesn't have it to pull that off.

haha Potty PM

“Filipina tubes” LOL

The hoops was very similar to those hooker selling shit and messing up words.

If you look at the rap skit and Jlo is singing one of the songs fairly well, look really closely because I swear to god it was spliced/edited in. It’s the song with the high notes.

We managed to get rid of Leslie, can this be the year to remove Kyle?

I am not a fan, but you have to acknowledge she's good in this format ‚— energetic and much less reliant on cue cards than other hosts.

Jlo seemed nervous with her monologue.

J-Los only redeeming quality is her professionalism.

Dababy has dapancake ass!

At least he smiles an acknowledged his audience

DaBaby is hot. Nice body. I'd let him smash

This cast doesn't work together well. Far too many unique talents for one time. There's far too ensemble skits because so many of them don't jive with others. Maybe they want it that way so they always need to stock up on 5-10 cameos.

Kyle Mooney and Peter Davidson should go. I think Keenan has done everything so many times that it's no longer fun to watch. I haven't been that impressed with the Bowen Yang. I think Cecily Strong is underused.

It's just cringey television.

This Barry’s Bootcamp has some good lines. “Just like my man, Oscar Pistorius. No legs, no problem. He still murdered. His girlfriend... and the track. I’m all about results. Search results. I google my dad, every day. Where is he???”

Is being flat Kyle’s schtick or does he just not know how to create a character and act? Is this one of the caseS where as a writer he creates skits just for himself?

Kyle Mooney's comedy doesn't work for SNL. At least SNL in 2019. It's too out there.

It would be nice it SNL added a reality TV component and at the end of the year the public got to vote off three of the players.

Does that blonde chick wear invisalign? Her teefs trigger me

You guys should just should just shust up.

....

R99 Muppet Voice chick needs to go as well.

......

DaBaby is so hot yo

Does Jello have her own hair still or is it all wigs like Tina Turner?

.....

The Barry’s Boot Camp sketch is a less funny replica of the SoulCycle one they did a few weeks ago.

The HGTV skit threw me. I swear to God, I thought the host was surprised that the cute young husband was married to an old woman. I thought that was the joke, and thought, oh, wow, good for Lopez for making fun of herself.

It took a couple of minutes before I realized she’s supposed to be out of his league.

St. Olaf, R114?

R114 They did a previous sketch with the weirdo guy married to a hot woman.

Good for Bowen Yang getting to grab Mikey Day's crotch at the end of that sketch.

The original SNL cast was what, seven people? And they had to do everything for 90 minutes.

Now the cast is around 15, they rely on a ton of pretaped stuff, and they still bring in celebrities to play a lot of characters.

Bowen Yang's got some guns on him.

Can snl please stop portraying Melania as a victim who wants to run away from her husband? Especially when there is nothing to indicate that she doesn't share his views . She was a birther after all. Funny how they are never this gentle on democrats families.

Half last

Whoops accidentally pushed post button too early. Half last nights episode were just repeats of older skits.

Why does SNL keep doing skits with Pete Davidson playing that irritating character who just says “OK.” Why? Whyyyy??? There was never anything remotely funny about “OK” and they’ve produced dozens of skits with him doing it.

Mike Myers was a better actor than anyone on the show now, and I honestly think this may be Madonna’s best acting performance.

R122 Yeah they recycle old skits a LOT. Lazy.

I liked the New York hoop earrings skit better when it was New Jersey chandeliers.

Not an SNL defender, but there is such a thing as recurring skits like the cheerleaders, Jeopardy etc. The average guy had the same hairdo and clothing so it's not like they were trying to pass it off as something new.

Corden was good as Johnson even though the opening skit went on a little too long. I am glad they adressed Trumps mocking but I think the Mean Girls /high school cafeteria cliches are a little overdone in our culture. I see a lot of dislike towards Corden on this site and claims that he's nasty but I've never seem this referenced anywhere else. Any specific stories?

Basically summing up and repeating everything bad about the episode.

[quote]We get it: Jennifer Lopez is hot. It’s more controversial, though no funnier, to show Trump in a weirdly sympathetic light

From the Guardian article at R129:

“We open in the Nato cafeteria, where the “cool kids” – Justin Trudeau (Jimmy Fallon), Emmanuel Marcon (Paul Rudd) and dumpy hanger-on Boris Johnson (James Corden) – tease and ostracize Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin).”

Emmanuel Marcon!!

1] Loved the Yang/yang action on Mikey Day.

2] lol'd when "Pelosi" wished Miss Lindz a baby both Black AND Gay.

3] When Che said if Trump had so many problems with his shit that he could simply scoop it up and throw it out the window.

4] DaBaby may not be a great musical guest but his two segments were mini-shows that were very visually entertaining.

[quote]I liked the New York hoop earrings skit better when it was New Jersey chandeliers.

I liked it better when it was Saboski Crystals, they're diamonds...

They do love the trope. Marble columns!

Chandeliers!

The open

Maybe it's fuzzy nostalgia, but I don't recall too many older seasons of SNL where they continually brought back and/or used big name stars and past cast members. Seems like every week now, somebody from the past makes an appearance

[quote]DaBaby may not be a great musical guest but his two segments were mini-shows that were very visually entertaining.

Oh c'mon. It looked like something improvised by high school students. Embarrassingly amateurishly bad.

[quote]DaBaby has a big ten incher according to online gossip a few months ago

DaBabyArm

I admit I am not the audience for "DaBaby", but what the HELL was that? The young woman who "danced" didn't even have a nice figure, but, rather, fat deposits, which she could move individually. While an absolutely fascinating kinesiology study, it was disconcerting. These "musicians" don't do music, they just have small armies of 'dancers' doing ever stranger cosplay.

No mention of the bad camera placement during the Wisconsin Hardware Store sketch. At one point, Alex Moffat and Heidi Gardner were speaking by Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and Jennifer Lopez were on camera but apparently waiting for their cues. I believe this was the third week in a row where there was such a technical error. Not to mention the sketch itself as awful.

They need a new cast. This one is totally out of gas.

R140 I'm betting Cecily, Aidy, and Kate will leave after this season. Their contracts are up.

Melissa should be let go. They give her nothing to do but be that extra person needed to round out a sketch.

R142 I think she is kept around because she does some decent celebrity impersonations. But, she botches her lines in most sketches where she's not impersonating celebs.

You can see Mikey Day's dick in the Barry's Bootcamp sketch.
