I'm sure them catching fire in the last two weeks was too late for them to change the schedule. I was just noting that SNL has some rotten luck here.

November: 3 eps
December: 3 eps

January, February, March, and April have 2 episodes each, and May has 3. The season is front-loaded.

I always assumed the girl in wasn't necessarily super fit and had curves, hence, shape of you.

No. I'm not going to explain something to you that you already know just because you know that you can act ignorant without consequences. You're just going to have to sustain yourself with the satisfaction of knowing exactly what the issue was.

I think you could say something about reducing a woman in power, no matter how bad at her job, to being a sexualized, desperate harpy. But the sketch wasn't the worst form of that, and was at least funny.

As always, some people will take criticism of misogyny a bit too far, and others will start shouting about "liberal identity politics" in response. Internet business as usual.

Rosie won't be playing Bannon on the show anytime soon

quote:

“SNL” apparently never picked up the phone, because when TMZ caught up with O’Donnell on Thursday night, she emphatically denied that there were any plans for her to appear on the show.

“That’s It,” O’Donnell said. “That was the whole impression, the Photoshop. That was it, start to finish ... I’m not in the cast. There’s that.”

And in case you missed it (it was advertised during last week's show,) SNL is putting #content on Snapchat. Thankfully someone capped the first SNL Story, "Boycott," so you don't need to install the stupidest app of the decade to watch a pretty funny sketch (in a vertical aspect ratio grr grrrr.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLauBmg89PA

And tonight's Vintage is Melissa McCarthy with Phoenix from April 6th, 2013.

Sidebar: This lovely headline popped up on The Google Internet News MaxXx Searching Engine:



I know this one! Because Trump's on fire, that is to say, he's the one doing all the crazy poo poo, and Democrats are a cold wet log in that department.

Like a dude doing 19 major newsworthy things every week is gonna be the guy you make fun of

And even with that, SNL has still had time to do *~*~*~*BALANCE*~*~*~* bits like The Bubble and Michael Che's entire schtick of I'm Just So Above All You Shrieking Liberals.

And finally, speaking of shrieking liberals, tonight's regular episode slot is filled by Dave Chappelle and the Tribe. Enjoy that show again, it was a beauty.

Tonight there's no Vintage, hockey will be on instead. BUT there's a new contingency Vintage for tonight: Wayne Gretzky with Fine Young Cannibals.

Contingency simply means programming that is on standby in the event that a live program cannot be broadcast. For the past three seasons, the standby episode of Vintage has been ye olde Richard Pryor show from 1975. After being run a total of 4 times IIRC, they may finally be retiring it. Or the Gretzky show is just being used for tonight, for obvious reasons. This episode was ran last season too, though it was joined in-progress after... a hockey game.

So if the game ends really early, or is canceled for some reason, you'll see (at least some of) Gretzky.
