As soon as I heard that Biden had passed the torch to Kamala I knew Maya Rudolph was going to have a banner year

Not as much of a gimme as Tina Fey / Sarah Palin but it'll work no question.

Not as much of a gimme

Huh. I'm not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, "wasn't she in The Good Place?"

I feel so vindicated right now.

Genuinely hilarious! Maya Rudolph was so great in The Good Place, but most of them were. What a good show.

She is a pretty lady.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would take her out for ice cream

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd make her nose bright red if you know what I mean

I don’t know what you mean.

Glad to hear Loot is continuing. It's a nice feel good comedy.

It's a good show. I also liked how it featured that "$295 million" horrible house from that ~~awful~~ mesmerizing wannabe Robin Leach YouTube video that made the rounds a few years ago, this one.

I love Maya, but I thought she left SNL? I remember her hosting SNL as guest on last Mother Day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but has Tyler Labine agreed to play JD Vance yet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Nice

I'll wildly recommend one of the latest Kill Tony episodes with a stunning performance of Trump by Shane Gillis, and Adam Ray as ~~doctor ph~~ Joe Biden. Absolutely hilarious 👌

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Shane Gillis was so good at Trump I was forgetting it wasn't him up there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Judge Gen is gonna play Kamala?

Perfect

I'd be okay if SNL never did political sketches again

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago

Dude, they’ve been doing political sketches for close to 50 years now. Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

The amazing thing is you don't have to watch them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

alrighty

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I get why they do them. They’re relevant and buzz worthy.

I do agree that they aren’t anywhere close to being top tier sketches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Do you just not like them or did a political SNL sketch kill your family or something?

Saturday Night Live is still a thing?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

People have been saying that since season 2.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

they will never recover from Chevy Chase's withdrawal

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This guy is streets ahead

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Wait until you get to the Eddie Murphy part!

i literally just finished watching all 900 episodes. it has its ups and downs, but its still funny.

weekend update is the 'humor' anchor

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ok so which episode is tops for you?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i did not really expect it, but 2 of the best hosts were zack galifinakis(sp?) and justin timberlake

seriously, timberlake is fucking comedy Gem.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

one must'nt argue with My Dick in a Box.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

that shit was award winning

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I auditioned as a writer for SNL this year (didnt get it). The workload and ambition is insane. it's really easy to criticize until you have to produce even just the first drafts of a weekly packet, let alone redraft and get shooting script ready.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

So much work goes into just filtering out inappropriate jokes from idiots who think they're the next George Carlin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I wasn't saying it sucked. I just haven't heard about it much lately and I remember it from the '90s, which was a long time ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

It was on point and very popular during the Trump administration, especially during the early years. Melissa McCarthy did an excellent Sean Spicer. https://youtu.be/UWuc18xISwI
