And she's going in the Five Timers Club too! You can get hype thusly.

This is an instance where the web version works much better than the air edit.

If I were shooting a 00:15 version of this take, I'd start much closer to Stone. The push in creates a visual rhythm that undermines the punchline. It's still a hard task when you only have about 13 seconds to work with. I'd say drop the lights thing at the start too, just start tight on Stone speaking and let it linger for the next 9 seconds because that's awkward and uncomfortable and the point.

Ok enough about that. What about those Thursday promos??

And I'll add this tweet about this whole subject i wrote earlier today.

But what about the read through pics? Surely they're here too?



No! Just the host! Cruel SNL social media poster denied us cast pics. We do however have this photo of Noah on the steps.



And in case you missed it, SNL and Emma were at the AMNH gala on Thursday, here's a photo of Lorne at an unflattering angle and a couple more for fun.







And some words on it too that I will copy for posterity

quote:

Emma Stone, Bowen Yang and Cynthia Erivo Partied in New York This Week

“Saturday Night Live” cast members attended the American Museum of Natural History gala, and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater celebrated its 65th anniversary season.

By Katie Van Syckle and Sarah Bahr
Dec. 2, 2023

“I really want to be friends with a whale,” Mikey Day, the “Saturday Night Live” cast member, said this week as he stood inside the American Museum of Natural History and discussed his favorite displays. “They just look so magical.”

“Sorry, it’s Thursday,” he continued. “I just came from work, and my brain is fried.”

In keeping with a longstanding tradition, members of the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” deep in preparations for their upcoming show, put on tuxedos and feathery gowns to join benefactors of the American Museum of Natural History for the institution’s largest annual fund-raiser, held at the museum in Manhattan.

“It’s always a nice cast bonding moment,” the “S.N.L.” cast member Bowen Yang said on a red carpet near the large dinosaur models in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda. “It’s like a perfect little reception for the new people.”

The gala was chaired by Lorne Michaels, the creator and executive producer of “S.N.L.”; his wife, Alice Barry; the writer and actress, Tina Fey, who was once the show’s head writer; and her husband, the composer Jeff Richmond.
Mr. Michaels, a longtime member of the museum’s board, is such an established supporter that in 2012, a species of daddy longlegs newly identified by a museum scientist was named the Stylocellus lornei in his honor.

“That’s how you live forever, man,” said Kenan Thompson, an “S.N.L.” cast member. “I want to find a special species of praying mantis for myself.”

The event, with Seth Meyers, also an “S.N.L.” alum, as master of ceremonies, raised more than $2.5 million to support the museum’s programming. It was the first museum gala since Sean M. Decatur started as president, and since the Gilder Center, a new $465 million wing, opened this spring.

After cocktails, more than 450 attendees filled the Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life. The crowd included Senator Chuck Schumer, Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost, Emma Stone, who is scheduled to host this week’s episode of “S.N.L.,” and her husband, Dave McCary, who has produced short films for the show. They sat at tables decorated with white flowers for a dinner of beet and burrata salad followed by jerk short rib, and for a live auction.

“We’ve wanted to come play this evening for many years,” Marcus Mumford told the room during dessert as his band, Mumford & Sons, performed some of its hits. The band gradually brought the crowd to its feet, and attendees in strapless ball gowns circled the stage, dancing under the long blue whale.

You can (hopefully) read the rest at the link, that's the main part of the SNL coverage.

Ah. Hmm. What else?

Oh yes! College football is coming to an end, which means that SNL Vintage returns tonight!



And leading off the epic 10th season is.... an episode from last season :geno: Keke Palmer with SZA. From December 3 2022. Ok.

Enjoy!

Oh and it appears Imgur has finally gone full-aggro in their push to force everyone to use the app and use the site as a social media platform rather than image host, as they have apparently disabled uploading from mobile browsers (which they have been making exceedingly obtuse the past few years... having to have a tab already loaded in desktop mode before you visit the site). As I will never use their app—best way to make sure of that is to try and force me to—I found another site.

I have the imgur app. every few months I'll try to upload a photo and it has literally never worked. either I use another random uploader that I google or I send it to myself as a fb message, then upload from pc. I don't understand the point of the app if the uploads never work

I didn't know Adam Driver was a pianist.


《Edit》^^^ The cold open's ending was less entertaining that the beginning. It started good, but the ending was a little flat. I liked it, but I get why a lot of folks won't, and if you missed the first half, yeah, it'd suck.

Tegna is doing the ol' extortion soft-shoe to squeeze more money from you.

quote:

TEGNA is demanding double-digit annual rate increases that would make it the most expensive broadcaster nationwide, despite declining viewership and continued cord-cutting. Were DIRECTV to agree, it would obligate customers to pay a premium for TEGNA stations that exceeds hundreds of other DIRECTV agreements covering local stations in nearly 200 metro regions throughout the U.S.

"It's disappointing, but certainly not surprising, that TEGNA is just the latest to perpetuate what's become the status quo for American broadcasters by using its territorial exclusivities and blackouts to extort ever-increasing rates for programming that remains free over-the-air," said Rob Thun, chief content officer of DIRECTV. "We just can't do this anymore--these price increases are unsustainable for the average consumer. It's a badly broken model that erodes trust, eliminates choice, and keeps delving deeper into the wallets of our already overtaxed customers."

Here's a brief video primer.
