SNL has been a dated format for a long time. Kids in the Hall completely blew it out of the water and it was old then too.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Sucks seeing Horatio Sans in these, cause he's been pretty reliably accused of grooming teens, and it's hard to imagine that many if not most the other cast didn't know since they went to the same after parties where he invited them

drat that sucks, I hadn't heard that before and always thought he was really funny even if he corpsed all the time. But gently caress him if that's true.

Sorta like when I first found out Jay Johnston was a chud and was at January 6th, that was super disappointing as well. Story of Everest is one of the all time great pieces of sketch comedy and his physicality is a big part of why it's so good.

Suit was settled in 2022 out of court as is common. There didn't seem to be anyone from the cast calling him out (who knows what he has back on them from these parties), but I hadn't seen anyone defending him either which is usually the case unless it's real obvious/bad that he was doing this kind of thing.

There's a good series of these, where it's just "the cast lines up to do their best/worst impression of that actor to their face". Walken seems bored out of his mind by it, but there's two others that have good sports, Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey:

The MadTV one is worth mentioning just because of how loving well Sasso does Gandolfini.

You cant be desperate for comedy and have skipped MadTV, one of the scant few sketch comedy shows on at the time. They had 10+ seasons of original ideas (wow 1 sketch resembled another) and you've not seen any of them. I'm guessing your type of comedy is indeed corny placid SNL slop
