I guess Kate is perfectly fine with not being in any sketches tonight. Although sitting like that can't be comfortable.

He can be off putting, I've never been sure how much is an act and how much is him. And it's only gotten worse with the current political climate, he's had a few complete meltdowns at festivals lately. Then he does something catchy and fun like this https://youtu.be/XeGzwCrNAEc

I didn't see the segments after the second musical guest spot. The show had been such a poo poo... uhm... shitshow... that I decided to go outside and take advantage of the rare clear night with OK-ish seeing. I had aligned my telescope with the EQ mount earlier in the evening, and by about 11:50 PM Central, Jupiter was easily high enough for me to observe.

I'm pretty sure I got as many giggles looking at the Bringer of Jollity as I would have watching the last part of the show. Boooo, SNL. Just... just booo.

Yeah, by the end, I was thinking, "is there any real jokes here or are they just listing the drug names and holding up photos of women?" It definitely gave me a bit of a racist vibe since there were no other jokes or point being made.

The taped skit in the bar with the horny feminist dudes also felt a bit too close to MRA alt-right humor. Isn't it a theory in their worldview that men who are feminists are just "pathetic beta cucks" who are doing it to score?

I think sometimes the SNL writers need to step back from a skit and pick out the core message that they're trying to get across. If it's unfocused or punching down, maybe take the skit for another revision. Especially this show, when they had a couple weeks off to make something good.

More and more stories are coming out about how Lorne Michaels is becoming increasingly out of touch and is quite probably burned out. There's a reason he's been coasting so hard on Alec Baldwin's Trump to carry the water.

The more baffling part to me is why the oscar-winning black actress and one of the two female black cast members (is Leslie Jones still on the show?) were okay with it. They both have input on whether they want to do the sketch, right?
