Ah, SNL??? horrible, and who really thinks that Michael Che is even funny. Ugh.

The whole show was absolutely just bad. Oh, and, JMHO. 🤢 🤢 🤢

2. Didn't miss a show back in 70s, but haven't watched in 20 years other than cold start clips.

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Bill Hagerty, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Keenan Thompson, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Bowen Yang…comic geniuses, all of them, and most better than the original cast by a mile ( I watched the show from its first episode).

Fortunately, some of their best sketches are on the SNL YouTube channel.

Laughter is the best medicine, and the world needs plenty of medicine these days.

5. I like Michael Che and Colin Jost. Weekend Update is basically the only thing I watch on SNL anymore.

SNL has ALWAYS been hit or miss right from the beginning. Not every single skit, even in the glory days, is a hilarious or even good one.

Comedy is subjective and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. You'll get no argument from me.

I check out the musical guests and weekend update.

The weird thing is there's like a thousand people in the cast but rarely does one person stand out (in my opinion)... i have to fast forward thru the introductions every week... it takes forever. The skits are long and lead to nowhere.

Even weekend update... who was that troll they had on the other night.... I had no clue and didn't find it interesting or funny.

I like the jeopardy skits.

Now get off my lawn
