Re: Saturday Night Live
I liked Lady Gaga and this Josh kid. Good episodes.
Also need to thank SNL for continuing to introduce me to new artists I listen to repeatedly.
Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, Lana Del Ray, Alabama Shakes, Macklemore.
Now we can add Haim to that list.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Cast news: SNL auditioning black women on Monday, and will hire one (possibly two) to debut in January.
Score one for diversity, but it's just moving the complaint. With half a season, no new cast member (regardless of race) would make much of an impact, which means the complaining will shift to them underutilizing the new hires. This doesn't take into consideration the pressure on the show and whoever they hire.
I'm excited for new cast members regardless, and obviously tread lightly on the race issue here on OS - I'm really just annoyed that the recent articles are playing such a role in dictating who is on the show. Hire who works well in the sketch comedy genre, period.
That said, I really hope this works out for all involved. Get some more new blood into the show and another comedic voice. Everyone wins.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
It's an interesting debate.
I think without getting into the conversation, a sketch show should hire all kinds of people to portray several different real life people.
But I agree they should not be forced to dilute their talent group if the options are weak.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I keep having these long(ish) posts, but delete them since it can be a sensitive topic.
Basic point is that SNL primarily hires from schools/theatres like Second City, iO, UCB, and whatever else...and their casts almost mirror SNL's diversity. Until that changes, SNL is going to have these 'types' of casts.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
The weekend update was the highlight of the show for me last night. (Drunk Uncle, Drunker Uncle and Black Santa)
The bit "Three Wise Guys" was terrible, imo.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
Can't wait for next week with Fallon & Timberlake. Surely they will have The Barry Gibb Talk Show on it.Comment

Re: Saturday Night Live
It's Fallon. It's Timberlake. It's SNL's Christmas episode. You know there will be cameos.
It'll be good...it'll be good.
