sorry to hear that. I might've been in a bad mood to start with, but unfortunately I didn't laugh at much other than her monologue.

I thought the soup sketch was pretty funny in theory but something was missing in the delivery.

Bummed they're bringing in Chappelle for another smug "I told you so" after the election.

Because comedians are, like, modern day philosophers, man, and they should be allowed to say whatever they want!

I'm kidding, of course. I actually hate that argument, because the whole "modern day philosopher" tag is always given to comedians who stopped even trying to be funny years ago, but just go on unfunny rants about right wing political talking points as their "act", never even getting to a funny part. And when I point out how they're not funny, I'm told I'm too "woke" or just don't get it. George Carlin made good points. But he was also, you know, funny.

Like, I'm not saying everyone has to be as inoffensive as Jim Gaffigan (who, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy). But, at some point during this 5 minute screed about gay and trans people, are you going to try to make anyone laugh? Or are you just getting some angry bullshit off your chest? Because I'm not interested in the latter.

Because most people don't pay attention and remember his reputation from two decades ago when he was famous for ~making fun of everyone~ and they don't realize that now most of his humor is just transphobic nonsense thrown out to make red meat conservatives giggle.

Dave has gone down the Dennis Miller/Bill Maher pipeline of becoming an unironically right wing culture warrior.

See I thought it was because chapplle was a black man yelling the no no word and people would laught because it was saying the word "ironically" while other people would laugh because he "wasnt" saying the naughty word ironically.

To paraphrase Carlin: punching down is lazy writing.

Chappelle has a huge platform and enormous reach and he uses it to go "eww those people are gross hahaha."

In the current climate that kind of bigotry is basically calling for pogroms when presented on the national stage, but it is also just lazy, hack comedy that literally doesn't appeal to any segment of SNL's target audience.

Just do a Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines thing with him. Have Daniel Radcliffe host, have Radcliffe do promos as "Weird Al" as the musical guest and just have the actual Weird Al show up to do the musical performances.

Albuqurque and You don't love me anymore would work great for the performances too. One is high energy and more rock, the other is just a ballad.

SNL only gets C listers to host these days. Unless Tom Hanks is bored or Comcast tricks one of their sitcom / late night people to do the show.

Isn't that the opposite of a Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines thing? In that you have two people pretending to be one, instead of one person pretending to be two? Either way, I'm down for it.

Also, I got to see Weird Al sing Albuquerque live once, at a Star Wars 501st party. It loving ruled. But there's basically zero chance SNL would let him do it.

Eh, it's trickery with the musical guest. Whatever it is, it'd be cool which is why it will never happen.

Saw him do it live once too, he stopped halfway through and said they made a mistake and started over. It was incredible.

The back to back double duty hosting of two people who absolutely shouldn’t be doing that really screams being utterly desperate right now.

When in doubt just get people who are known for comedy, even if they’re not huge draws.

I'm honestly kind of shocked more cast/crew aren't boycotting Chappelle. Do we know which writers have, or just that it's 'a few'? Is there enormous pressure on the cast, unable to move against unless they've already got clout (which SNL cast members rarely do)? Or do they just make a habit of hiring spineless people?

Also honestly a bit nervous for how it goes down tonight. I wonder if they'll even touch Dave's controversies with a ten-foot pole. Maybe Mulaney comes out and we get a big teary apology from both of them. I'll probably be nervously refreshing this thread at least during the monologue, but I'll come home after work and watch a pirated copy.

Lorne has too much power.

I don't know if I want to watch the show tonight. It seems like it would be a chore and Chapelle just sucks as a person.

Weird Al should never go on SNL. He should have his own show.

I think him being the band for the the last season of CBB is the closest we'll get but it's still lots of Werid Al.
