StrangersInTheNight posted:I feel like Robinson being on SNL is proof that it doesn't actually 'elevate' the best talents - sure, it gets the incredibly funny people but then it waters their work down to moderate dreck. Oh yeah it’s interesting to see that with other actors, like Mike Mitchell from the Doughboys podcast. On that show he’s hilarious & quick witted with tons of original material, but when he was on Twisted Metal he’s reduced to “fat guy is dumb” archetype with no chance to show off. I know it’s still a huge win for him to be on a major show but educational that TV is a poor medium for finding worthwhile content and gotta dig a little.

redshirt posted:Did he talk about how much work is involved in putting a show together? I've always assumed it's a lot of work for all involved, but I don't know. That said, he didn't really have bad things to say about the people he worked with and I think was on good terms with most of them, but the whole environment was a pressure cooker. shyduck fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 18, 2023 |

having not watched SNL since I was a kid in the 90's , I'm surprised they just haven't gone all-in on content creators and tiktok stars and such or, have they?

I think they have a guy and the only thing he does is Trump impressions that they got from Tik Tok or Youtube or something.

There wasn't really anything to it and it was just for the sake of having a guest celebrity on call to do the cold open. They should have just brought in Jason Sudeikis. I always liked his Biden persona back when Biden was VP. He was just this overly friendly guy who was also an excited child.
