Where's this "Pete Davidson's dad was at work on 9/11 because he owed his 7 year old son $1500 on a loan" thing coming from

Triikan posted:Saturday Night Live has always been terrible. It is a couple good skits that are ok per week. A couple great skits per season. This has always been the case. Everybody who says SNL used to be good is remembering those great skits from each era and forgetting all the terrible ones that surrounded them. Yes, even Farley had mostly forgettable skits. Chris Rock too. Akroyd? Most definitely. Chris Rock was barely even in anything most of the consistently good poo poo was always Update

Hyrax Attack! posted:Yeah he definitely has the talent wonder if it was because he didn’t have a big breakthrough silly 90s comedy like Sandler or Carrey. His podcast Dudesy is hilarious & showcases his masterful impressions, in segments such as “Stone Cold Steve Austin Reads Will Sasso’s High School Diary.” Sasso and Koechner always reminded me of each other

haljordan posted:And the woman producing SNL in 1980 had to basically be forced to take Eddie, she wanted Robert Townsend instead lmao yeah good luck with meteor man haljordan posted:I wonder how much it costs to produce a typical SNL episode, apparently the pay for both performers and writers is notoriously lovely so I wonder if that's a factor in its longevity (plus what the hell else would NBC run at 11:30pm on a Saturday) it cruises because it's probably better/more consistent pay than what they would be getting otherwise

haljordan posted:Yeah true it's a guaranteed paycheck that won't bounce, which a million comedians currently working lovely clubs would brutally kill each other for I mean, Robinson got elevated from writer to player, knew he wasn't working as a player, so he went back to the writer's room before he left. Guaranteed paychecks are nice.

haljordan posted:My thinking was more that the execs kind of just renew the show out of habit because it's not a huge hit to the bottom line even when the ratings are real bad That's probably part of it too as far as bottom-line, but it's totally a make-work program for some legitimately talented people who'd be eating poo poo otherwise as well. Not all of them.

N. Senada posted:I was shocked to find out he wrote for SNL because his Netflix stuff was so good You're shocked that someone who had to constantly write sketch comedy for a weekly live show was good at it when he and his friends got a budget and a yearly schedule?

Robinson would have never gotten paid regularly for years to work on his poo poo or gotten a development deal with Samberg's company if he didn't work on SNL

Disco Pope posted:Is Sarah Squirm or whatever still on it? She seemed to run with a slightly more interesting type of comedian, but gently caress, if SNL pays the bills, whatever. Yeah she's still there, she gets a few weird body horror skits a season and talks mad poo poo to Jost on Update a few times a season as well
