British dentistry is
not on trial here!



Bold prediction: The chuds of the internet will take offense that Maddie laughed throughout Ramy's (actually funny) monologue but not at Shane Gillis'.

Am I imagining things or have they changed the pacing of the segments for quite a while now?

The first musical act and Weekend Update are pushed back a bit, then it's one, maybe two more sketches, musical act #2, one, maybe two more sketches and then it's goodbyes.

Cold open and monologue for this episode was a bit over 13 minutes. Sketches themselves feel like they are meandering and could easily could be cut shorter across the board.

Can someone with an archive check if the number of actual sketches has gone down noticeably?

This episode had a runtime of 67 minutes, from minute 32 (first musical act) until the end there have been only two actual sketches.

It was definitely notable, but it's also substantially a retread of this 2018 sketch

They even brought the same guy back (yes, probably a crew member).
