SNL 12/7/24

Shaboozey may be a one-trick pony, but it's a good pony; that "Tipsy" song is incredibly catchy.

I hope Pedro shows up

I can’t wait.

Sarah Sherman is following in Kate McKinnon's footsteps of doing creepy impressions of men.

Church Lady? Yes, this is the best they can do in 2024 - a skit from the 90s. Fucking David Spade as Hunter Biden. Sarah Sherman is as horrible Matt Gaetz. Quit clowning and get the fuck off the stage.

I thought Spade was spot on

Sarah Sherman is the new Kate McKinnon. She will be shoved down our throats more.

Spade dude great

Dana is always amazing

Really R6? He was doing David Spade in a slower speed.

Well it was funny 30 years ago.

Love seeing Church Lady back, but she seems a little rusty from the golden days of appearing each week; and I think that humor’s a little too subtle for today’s live audience—but today’s Church Chat guests definitely are as apeshit crazy as, and need a Church Lady dressing down, as much as the ones during Reagan’s 1980s. So maybe we’ll get to see Dana back on a more regular basis! ☺️😛

Awww he seems so excited

Paul looks so cute

How is this man considered attractive?

Paul looks hot

Dana's on every week R11.

Why is Paul wearing a see-through shirt in December?

Paul's hair looks like shit.

So do his nipples.

Paul has very weak hands with sad fingers.

Awwww you can tell Paul is so excited. That made me Smile

Eek, if w missed Carvey’s recent reappearances including as his Church Lady character, I gotta look for that skit more often. :)

^if I

This earring sketch is not working

R23 disagree. I laughed.

With that voice she does, Heidi really should have a Cher sketch.

The Gladiator 2 musical is awesome

Was Sarah playing the grandma who was thrown out the window?

Paul is always cute, but Bowen as a Roman is never.

I'm out....

Mescal is basic.

Paul is adorable. He’s so cute.

Bowen probably begged to be in the musical sketch.

Yes, R27.

R30 disagree. His enthusiasm and excitement is adorable and he’s had a lot of energy in his skits so far.

Ashley Padilla sort of reminds me of Michelle Monaghan.

Does Paul have really small fingernails?

I like the energy of the female cast member in the Italian restaurant sketch.

LOL. Weirdest and gayest DND ever and that's saying a lot.

That sketch was amazing

45 mins in and every skit seems like we saw them years ago.

Loving this episode

Mescal looks like the (somewhat) cute guy who cannot suck a dick. We've all met that guy.

I enjoyed Shaboozey.

Good thing he likes women then

Agree, Shaboozey is good.

Weekend Update is always the best part for me

Weekend Update 🔥 (first time in decades!)

"I'll give you oral." That sounded like he improvised that line.

Fucking hate Bowen Yang, hes's not that fucking funny! Kenan is also so overused that he isn't even funny anymore and probably hasn't been for the last few years.

R49, I don't know what compelled them to put him in the restaurant sketch playing the Italian owner. Unless there was a joke in there and I missed it.

Who was the chubby chick in the pink dress? I had no idea and still don't. Was she the "Very Demure" girl? No clue.

R50 a lot of Italians have black dna

That was another awful episode. Didn't laugh once, not even during Weekend Update. I am so tired of seeing Michael Che and Colin Jost and their smug "aren't I hilarious and clever" mugs during their segments. Hey, Michael Che, here's a professional note. If you have to set up a joke and tell your audience it's a smart joke, it's not.

And poor Paul Mescal. He showed he's got comic chops, but once again, as they usually do with talented hosts, the writers failed him. He did his best during the Italian restaurant commercial sketch, but there was absolutely nothing he could do to salvage the pirate revue and courtroom sketches.

The only saving grace of this episode was that Bowen Yang's appearances were limited. That Spotify sketch featuring him and that obese woman (I must be old; I have no fucking clue who she is) was just plain dumb.

I liked it and Paul was great

R11 the Church Lady was a great sketch back in the 80s, early 90s but comes of as outdated now. Old mousy ultra religious ladies are not much a thing anymore. It just doesn't hit like it did then and comes off as trying to revive better times.

R55 Yeah, that whole sketch felt "phoned in."

Boy, am I out of touch. I had no idea Shaboozey was black.

[quote] How is this man considered attractive?

Well asked.

I'm sure he's fine human being, but still.

SNL- 10/75 to 5/79 otherwise don't bother

Beauty is subjective. I find Mescal very hot

It's been too long since Marcello exposed his hot ass cheeks. SNL needs more of that.

Love Dana and David. I listen to their podcasts faithfully. The Church Lady sketch was off though. The writing wasn’t that bad. The performances were the weak link. I agree with a previous poster that Dana seemed rusty (Spade, too). Their energy was low.

I also have no idea who the busty chick with Bowen was. I imagine it’s one of the countless internet “celebrities.” 🥱

This show was awful. I DVR'd as I always do, and have spent most of the play-back holding the FF button on the remote. The only saving grace was the 'pirate' sketch where we got to see Marcello's smooth chest and Dismuke's hairy chest. Damn, that Marcello is sexy .

R61 R63 Quit try to make Marcello happen. He's doughy. In five years, he'll be morbidly obese.

Did Lorne decide to give the interns a crack at writing the show this week? What a piece of shit.

R61-What SNL needs is less Lorne.

Overall I think this episode was one of the funnier ones. I'm glad they found something for Dana to do. Doing Biden now seems cruel. I decided I Really like Paul Mescal, and that fucking Gladiator trailer skit had me laughing out loud with tears streaming. Every time I type or see the word Gladiator I can hear Elizabeth's voice, announcing the Oscar.

I actually found this episode funny. It was one of the better ones from this season. And Mescal was great. He has good comedic timing, surprisingly. All he plays is serious parts. He should do a romcom.

His energy was amazing and you could see how excited he was to even be there and it was adorable.

I set the VCR to record it but there was a power outage so it didn't happen.

Anyone who sees Marcello as 'doughy' needs an appointment with their optometrist. The guy is sexy as all hell and needs to do more shirtless scenes for his gay fanbase. No one needs to try to make him 'happen', he already has happened in his few short years on SNL.

Nice to see a hairy chest on Dismukes - makes him stand out from the other cute guys his age.

I like Marcello. And I like the new girl. Brunette. The skit I remember her from was with Nate Bargatze playing the EMT guy at the waterpark when someone dies on the giant slide. SNL has been pretty good this year. In fact the Weekend Update was particularly funny last night.

R70 Doughy.

R71 It was one of the worst Weekend Updates this season.

The self-adulation of Jost and Che is nauseating.

Yes R52, when I think Italian, I think of those black guys like da Vinci, Michelangelo, Machiavelli and Kenan Thompson.

Why is Devon Walker even on the show? He's barely featured, and when he is in a skit, he's never funny. It mystifies me that they nmoved him to the main cast this year.

Last night, I think the only skit he appeared in was the Italian restaurant commercial sketch, and all he did was use a clapboard in that one.

R72 That picture was taken nearly 2 1/2 years ago. You failed. Again.

R76 Yes, 2 1/2 years ago. He's doughier now. You failed. Again.

R77 That photo has no date. Try again.

r55, They could have evolved the Church Lady into a Phyllis Schlafly who praised all the dead women who died in Hospital parking lots waiting to have their rape baby scraped from their uteri, then move to her burning books for the local school board, and THEN Hunter's Huge Cock.

What happened to Pearl?

R78 2024, honey.

Try again.

R80 Thanks sweetie - you just proved what a fine, fuckable ass Marcello has. Damn, that looks good !

Thanks again !

R81 And a big, fat gut.

Enjoy!

Marcello from September of this year, returning to his university. RECENT PHOTOS. Sexy as ever. No big fat gut. Enjoy!

R83 Yeah. Great shot of his gut there. LOL!

R78 Ladies, ladies! The bottom line here is that Marcello Hernandez, like most of the current SNL cast, isn't very funny.

R84 I know, right ? I can't see it either. LOL! Some people see what they want to imagine. Guy is fine.

R8y You can't see it because it's basically hidden in the photo.

Then there's reality (See photo at R77). :-)

How much longer do you think we'll have to endure yelly, twitchy Sarah Sherman?

God, she's annoying.

Sarah Sherman reminds me of the Deliverance Banjo Boy. Frightening whenever they show up.

The Please Don’t Destroy clip was awesome. Loved it.

R90 Meh.

And the Gladiator 2 musical was incredible. Especially because it got Paul to sing and he has a nice singing voice, it’s a shame he doesn’t sing more often.

[quote] I am so tired of seeing Michael Che and Colin Jost and their smug "aren't I hilarious and clever" mugs during their segments. Hey, Michael Che, here's a professional note. If you have to set up a joke and tell your audience it's a smart joke, it's not.

I’ve been tired, especially from that ugly ass Che.

R66, AMEN, and cut the cast in half as well.

R92 The problem with that sketch is that I could barely understand what they were singing.

Well, the level of shitsomeness has not reached Sushi Glory Hole levels...

Whenever there's a hot male star hosting the show, Bowen Yang usually writes a sketch that has him in some sexual situation with the hot host.

This was conspicuously absent on last night's show. I'm guessing Bowen pitched some kind of lame sketch that had he and Paul Mescal doing something gay and Mescal said, "Ah, hell, no. Not with this queen."

R90 Not funny.

R90 Stupid, awkward and pointless like most of the skits on SNL

R5 Church Lady was an 80s sketch, pig

I can't believe Paul Mescal is only 28. He looks so much older.

Thank you, R80. I want to run my hands, my mouth, and my dick in between those cheeks.

R99, he reprised the role over the years including the 90s but thank you for such an informed and well written response. Have a great evening Fuckface.

was it funny? i didn't watch.

Here's a cut-for-time sketch called "What Americans Think Will Happen When They Visit Ireland."

I find rap to be really corny. All they do is create FAKE drama online so that people will go see them being liars.

R105 Huh?

This episode hit an all time low in 18-49 viewers, apparently

Ouch.

R104 They shouldn't have cut that one. It was funnier than the stupid pirate revue sketch.

Paul and Pedro need an OF

Must have been a close call for Lorne, r109.

Mescal's voice sounds really good in OP's clip.

The clearly gave Dana Carvey some sort of episode guarantee at the beginning of the season----thinking Biden and Kamala would run thru January. Since that didn't work out they are using him elsewhere in the show.

The cast gets 3 thousand dollars. An EPISODE. How generous Lorne is.

That's like twice day rate for SAG/AFTRA commercials actors.

R114 So being on SNL is about exposure, which leads to commercials, TV guest spots, movies.

That's where the money is.

R114 Obviously, you get what you pay for. Look at the "talent pool."

This is the only sketch he was actually good in

NDs can only do comedy if they become complete cartoons.
