The pitch meeting is Monday morning, where the cast and host get a feel for what will be done on the show. The rest of Monday and Tuesday is spent writing, and then the best pieces are culled from the Wednesday table read.

Am I missing something, or is the last time that happened when Andrew "Dice" Clay showed up and Nora Dunn and the musical guest Sinead O'Connor both noped-out?

This may promise to be the Model S of comedy. Especially the exploding part.

Lol his other two ideas are him playing iron man (of course) and him as The Godfather. The man has seen three films, and they’re the three most obvious films he could have seen. He also of course sees himself as the main characters of all three. This is going to be heinous

To add to the previous ones. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cast so hostile to a host prior to his/her appearance. Has Lorne been pressured into this somehow?

I’m really hoping everyone else bails, so it is Musky, a random camera guy, and a hand-drawn cardboard cutout improvising their way through such future classics as ‘Irony Man’, ‘Woke James Bond’, and Irony Man 2’

'I was fine doing sketches about how silly and fun Donald Trump is, but Elon Musk?! How dare you!' is such a weird hill for SNL people to die on though. Like, yea he sucks poo poo but you gave Trump the sloppiest blowjob possible before the election because it was good ratings and now you want us to think there's some kinda moral standards in the writer's room/cast?

Let’s not pretend that anybody but the CHUDiest MAGA CHUD actually thought Trump was anything other than an also-ran in Fall 2015.

I think it’s very likely that Lorne actually lost a bet or is otherwise being forced to book this rear end in a top hat, because the cast has seemingly been given blessing to publicly slag the host, which is something that doesn’t happen (see: Donald Trump in 2015.) Lorne’s people are loyal.

It is very possible Lorne put his foot down and forced everyone to fall in line, smile, and perform with Trump, especially since NBC helped make Trump such a star and household name. But in the years since, that episode has been rightfully criticized and trashed (because it is trash), and maybe Lorne has let up with his iron fist as a result. Remember, this is a guy who forces the most seasoned professionals to read off cue cards, who disapproves of any improvisation (despite casting mostly improv-trained comedians), and withholds feedback and praise to keep the cast from getting too confident or comfortable, so normally he runs a pretty tight ship.

I have never read or heard anything about Lorne that has even once implied he's emotionally, physically, or spiritually capable of 'letting up with his iron fist', though.

It’s not possible to do the show without cue cards, memorizing 10+ sketches before dress and then memorizing changes being made up to air is not something even the most seasoned professionals can do. Many hosts come in from a world of films and stage plays where they think they must memorize pages of dialogue, that doesn’t cut it in this show. Whereas the guy who has overseen 41 seasons of live sketch comedy may know what he’s talking about.

also yea as fun as it is to poo poo on Lorne his cue card stuff is a rare genuinely intelligent thing to be obsessed with in his business, memorizing every single bit is next to impossible and you can't actually just say 'uh, improv goes here' when half the cast are just normal standup types and the host is probably some movie person.

And you can also tell that they're not always straight reading off the cue cards, quite a bit of it is memorized. Even if it's not, the exact wording isn't always super important.

Key and Peele is timeless but I'm really wondering if he has a good agent or not. I haven't really enjoyed him in his TV/movie work afterwards, but it always seem like they don't know what to do with him.

There was this moment, after K&P ended, where I was like "poor Peele, sucks to have played Obama because now actual Obama is playing himself opposite Key..." and it seemed like he got left behind in the fame-game. Then Peele made a bunch of critically acclaimed films and won a bunch of prestigious awards while Key was making Predator and doing commercials. That flip-flopped quickly.
