You're not wrong but I think it's just that he's getting lazy under the weight of constant praise.

He's definitely been phoning it in lately. I know Trump's not a complicated guy but Baldwin basically found like 3 ways to say a line and he's not deviating.

Watching the Vintage episode right now, and man, I'd forgotten how terrible Fred Armisen's impression of Obama was. Wow.

They had a white guy playing the first black president and they thought the lack of shoe polish made it okay.

Truthiness!
Wait-

This is a spit take-

Fred Armisen is white???

Like I've never cared but I'm checking Wikipedia right now and-

Okay dude he is not white. He's got a Latin mom and a Korean grandma. Not black, but not white.

I did however also learn that his birthday is tomorrow. That's the actually disappointing thing; they probably threw him a very nice party in New York :smith:

E: I can't believe I'm pre-apologizing for insensitive verbiage on SA but here we are. This shouldn't be a conversation about blackface and how much it sucks because I think we can agree there without mincing words. It should be a conversation about Fred Armisen being poo poo, because we can also agree there without mincing words.

I've always thought it was strange that Armisen was never called out for doing blackface but :shrug:

He's said repeatedly that he's tired of doing the role because it's a massive pain in the rear end to be constantly flying across the country every week or every other week. I think he's just given up putting in any effort.

Brinkmanship

If I recall correctly Armisen's Obama started out kind of okay but at some point he decided to stop doing any vocal imitation and so it just wound up being Armisen wearing a suit and an Obama wig.

Okay white is subjective, but Armisen is always painfully obviously not the race he's portraying and somehow the only person who complained was David Paterson who thought SNL was being insensitive towards blind people.

His episode of “Finding your Roots” was crazy. His grandfather was a dancer/entertainer paid by the Nazis to improve morale but it turns out he was actually a spy for the allies.

After watching the rerun of the Christmas special and the "The Girl you wish you hadn't started a conversation with" skit, I hope Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sticks around because Cecily Strong doing her would be uncanny.

Head’s up to US viewers: Tonight only, NBC is using what is usually the second local break for their own ads. So we can all play, “will my station pay attention, or gently caress everything up?”

The cold open is the thing before the title card where DeNiro botched his lines. The monologue is when the host comes out and was really good tonight.
