He plugged his book so what else matters?

SI got its plug too.

mitchcumstein1: You don't like What Up With That? It should be on weekly just so Sudeikis can dance.

The best part is that it looks like he's having the time of his life doing it. I get the sense that Sudeikis would probably agree to a weekly gig, even though the skit is wearing thin and should probably bow out.

I'm also amazed at how they can get reasonably famous people to show up for that skit to be cut off and/or completely ignored for the duration. Mike Tyson, Al Gore, Morgan Freeman, Robin Williams, etc. At least when it was Paul Simon, he was already in the studio as the musical guest, so telling him to sit in a chair and smile for five minutes isn't anything.

I also like how Justin Timberlake now randomly appears to do bit parts, like this skit and his Bon Iver impression.

O'Reilly sat on the panel alongside Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Kate Upton.

Is it really safe to place her next to someone who's committed multiple counts of sexual harassment? Their insurance for that episode must have been really high.

My favorite part of that skit.



K, fine. Third favorite.

Well, I made it about 10 seconds in. Thus re-affirming my choice in not watching SNL.

You're supposed to casually slip in a two-paragraph reference to how you don't own a TV.

I actually turned this on for this skit by accident. I haven't watched SNL in years

That...was terrible. This is the modern SNL? Yikes.

Is this an actual TV show they're making fun of? There are a certain number of "you must live in or near New York to get this joke" jokes on SNL. The humor of this particular one escapes me.

well golly i sure loves me some well-formed tig-old bitties, hope those aren't fake

Uncle_Sam's_Titties: well golly i sure loves me some well-formed tig-old bitties, hope those aren't fake

I would not mind soaping them up with a falafel in the shower.

Has Keenan lost weight? I haven't seen him since I watched Nickelodeon, so maybe I'm misremembering.

The Jeremy Lin sketch at the beginning was just straight up genius.

I'll reference the manual next time.

I missed it. I automatically change the channel anytime a Keenan Thompson anchored skit starts. They're all the same and they all suck. He always has the same stupid bug-eyed smirk and he always belts out his lines with the same stupid exaggerated tone. And the "What's Up with That" skit is the worst ongoing gag in SNL history.

mitchcumstein1: There is nothing wrong with that picture. Zero.

Too much fabric...

mitchcumstein1: Diogenes: He played along OK but I am so farking sick of that recurring skit.

god bless Jason Sudeikis. he kills it

Whats up with Uptons lemon mouth? I don't think I've seen her making the face before.

They could have done a lot more with O'Reilly but didn't...shame.

Swoop1809: I thought this was a really good episode of SNL. The Beyonce baby skit with Prince was hilarious.

I'll throw in: Maya Angelou pranking people.

They did it live.

What's the Culture Warrior doing on SNL - a show that's nothing more than a cesspool for immorality and sin???? Next thing you know he'll release a duet with Ludacris. Shame on you, Bill.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that O'Reilly is grooming himself for some sort of reverse-Dennis Miller move. His core audience is aging into obsolescence, and the younger schmucks on Fox have him outderped by an order of magnitude.

That's the whole point of the skit.

lemon mouth or the potential to do something and not do it?

guess that's why I'm not an SNL fan, almost 8 minutes of stupid.

No. It's all about a host who just launches into that song and barely gives anyone else a chance to speak. Lindsey Buckingham is on every time and to date he has never said a word.

oh well, just not my thing I suppose, to each their own.

As much as I like to rag on SNL I thoroughly enjoyed it this week. The monologues are usually terrible. 1 of 2 things happens in every monologue now. 1) The host sings or 2) cast members pretending they are audience members interrupt the monologue, and ask stupid questions. Maya went with option 1, but it was really funny.

The Beyonce/Jay-Z sketch was really good too, even though those sketches are usually just a cheap way to get a bunch of impressions that various cast members do worked into a sketch.

The game show sketch where Maya and Kristen were the models was great because they were messing up and laughing so much.

I usually laugh at What's Up With That, but it had me laughing this time.

I laughed and laughed and laughed. I'm glad they're letting Jay Pharoah stretch his legs.

SuburbanCowboy: Maya went with option 1, but it was really funny.

I was impressed at how well Poehler and Rudolph still clicked during the Bronx talk show banter. Both of them were doing rapid-fire stuff like they had been doing the skit every week.

I'm in love with Nasim Pedrad.
