SNL 11/18/23

I'd rather see Meredith MacRae.

Or Sheila MacRae.

The GQP gave them a lot of material to use this week. Let’s see what they pick. Or, they could ignore the physical fighting in Congress and select something bizarre instead.

I wonder just how unbathed Jason Mamoa will look today... it's always either one week or one month.

His Biden impersonation is more Tim Conway “Carol Burnett Show” old-man than Biden…oh, wait…

That might be a large penis hanging from around his neck. ;)

His jewelry is so CHUNKY. He looks like Betty Rubble.

This entire cast looks ill. Ozempic is the new cocaine. Where's John Belushi when you need him. Cheeseburger!!

I haven’t laughed yet….

Chloe is like Margot Kidder on a permanently implanted caffeine IV drop.

I can smell the cigarette smoke and BO from here.

These 3 writers are too ugly to be actors. And evenworse, they're not really funny.

Well R11, they're funnier than most of the cast. What does that say about the state of this show?

Hoping for a decent Update after the "Biden is old and failing" opening.

I just don’t get the constant focus on the all-male news segment and the male 3-writers sketches. What’s wrong about or happened to a female-humor point of view? The show’s ideas staleness and laziness simply carries on.

That “singer” is ugly, can’t lip-synch, is wearing the ugliest outfit I’ve ever seen, and isn’t much of a dancer. She’s the new Taylor Swift.

This is so bad.

Yeah, it's really bad. Bring back Tina Fey as head writer.

R15, you spoke too soon. The new outfit...

Why are “singers” today afraid to, or not allowed to learn actually how to sing?

OK, the tennis bit made me laugh even though it was predictable.

Do they want Trump to win? Wtf.

Here's the Trump skit you'll never see.

Just finished watching the DVR.

Seeing how SNL likes hosts in drag, Momoa should have done Cunt from Temecula. 5 minutes of him tearing up the set.

HE LAIR RE US

What was with the empty stage at the end of the show?

Huh, R24?

The stage wasn't empty. Maybe a bit sparser than usual, but not empty.

Just watched the cold open and it was terrible. The guy doing Biden sucks. Can’t imagine the rest of the episode was any better. Sad times for SNL.

Pic #1 of Jason from the show.

Pic #2.

Butt shot.

Jason Momoa is sex on legs. His acting talent barely manages to reach the lower end of mediocrity and his personality is extremely annoying, but it's undeniable that he is beautiful, charismatic and sexy beyond belief.

Lisa Bonet is a lucky woman, even if he constantly cheats on her and behaves like an obnoxious hyperactive brat.

Nobody's going to mention that Andrew Dismukes took off his shirt, too?

R30 they divorced in January 2022. For crissakes get your head out of the sand.

I thought Jason was a good host. He’s not a bad actor either.

I know this will upset some fans on here, but Dismukes is not funny.

R32, they're separated. They haven't divorced yet.

[quote]Dismukes is not funny

You take that back right now, mister!!!

Sad times for SNL? Well, for the audience. Lorne has turned a once revered institution into a cash cow, hack factory.

Lorne does not like Democratic Satire when it depends on Republican Ridicule.

I will think that SNL has a chance of returning to former glory, when in the shit 30, there is a "Trump grabbing them by the pussy" sketch.

How about a sketch where Trump is in a rubber room saying the things he said. It literally writes itself.

BUT THEY LET YOU WHEN YOU ARE A CELEBRITY (Closed Caption — No they don't Donald, it's all in your head)

WOMEN HAVE BEEN LETTING CELEBRITIES DO THAT FOR A MILLION YEARS (Closed Caption — No, Donald, humans have been on Earth about 100 thousand years.)

I WON THE 2020 ELECTION (Closed Caption — No, you didn't.)

I WON BY A LANDSLIDE (Closed Caption — No, Donald, you lost by seven million votes.)

IT WAS RIGGED! (Closed Caption — No, Donald 60+, court cases filed by your supporster found that the election was not rigged.)

IT WAS RIGGED! (Closed Caption — No Donald, it was not rigged and you know it. You fired your Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Chris Krebs, after he made the statement that the 2020 Vote Was 'Most Secure' in US History. Firing him did not change the facts.

I GAVE PRESIDENT XI THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE CAKE.

(Closed Caption — Finally a truthful statement.)

MIKE PENCE IS A PUSSY! HE'S A PUSSY!! (Closed Caption — Well, Ivanka and other people heard you.)

============================= in a straight jacket.

Here Lorne, it's free.

Bowen Yang is so so bad. I’ve never seen a celebrated cast member play himself over and over again. There’s no attempt at characterization.

Seeing them shirtless side by side, I’d take Andrew Dismukes over Momoa any day. Zero question.

I liked the Newark Airport Parade sketch.

R38, I agree and every character, no matter how it is written automatically becomes gay. This guy can't play straight to save his life.

R30 you nailed it on the head:

"Jason Momoa is sex on legs. His acting talent barely manages to reach the lower end of mediocrity and his personality is extremely annoying, but it's undeniable that he is beautiful, charismatic and sexy beyond belief."

He is all those things. I'm fascinated by why I'm so attracted to him because he's not talented -- yet he is.

What'd I'd give to just hang with him. Maybe rest my head on that massive chest of his and have him call me buddy.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I preferred twink Mamoa from Baywatch.

he was still large and hunky and hot on Baywatch: Hawaii.

But now, he's even bigger.

I think the break-out sketch of Bowen Yang playing the Titanic Iceberg was actually the Titanic Iceberg playing Bowen Yang.

Cold

R40: I thought that was the funniest sketch of the evening.

Lorne needs to go. They should let Tina Fey take it over. Even In Living Color and Mad TV which have been off the air 30 years are still funnier than post-Eddie Murphy SNL.

He was a gorgeous young man.

Lorne certainly has gone down hill.

Tina and Seth will take over for Season 51.

It was a horrible episode.

Bowen Yang is unwatchable.

What’s crazy is that Bowen is the star of the current cast. But can you even imagine a “Best Of Bowen Yang” collection? Even though he’s been there for like five years now, it would just be a clip reel of him playing himself over and over again.

Does anyone watch much these days?

Meh.

R54 Have you read this thread? A small percentage of eldergays hatewatch SNL and Bill Maher, FAITHFULLY EVERY WEEK, to be able to bitch and moan how unwatchable and awful these shows are. And declare they will never watch again! Until next week.

I think what could have gotten a show canceled 10 years ago doesn't mean the same thing today.

Think of the Peacock subscribers who'd dump the streaming app if a few beloved anchor shows from NBC -- like SNL or DAYS -- got the boot.

The MAJORITY of Paramount + subscribers are there for Star Trek shows. If ALL the others went away, I would imagine PPlus would still be around.

It's too bad streaming wasn't around the way it is today back in 2009; the nets might have fought harder to keep GL, ATWT, AMC, and OLTL on.

Think of the subscribers their platforms would have if those shows were on them. I'm pay 20 or 30 bucks a month for a soap streaming platform that played old AW, EDGE, other axed serials.

Aww R57, GL was my guilty pleasure. I was one of the few who actually liked the format change as it seemed to allow the actors more freedom to ad-lib and have fun.

No one watches this show.

r59, how paradoxical of you.
