    re: Saturday Night Live

    SNL has been on life support for a few years now. It used to be entire episodes where hilarious but now you have to really get lucky to see just one funny skit.

    I wonder how much longer it's going to stay on the air. I know people still follow the show, but to see how far it's fallen in even the last 10 years is terrible.

      I was rolling when Jay Pharaoh broke into his Drake impression.

      While I definitely don't like the show as much as I used to, people said that same thing when Farley, Sandler and that whole crew was on the show in the 90's.

        I thought the chick that did Miley Cyrus last night was hilarious.

          The Unstoppable Trailer was also good. Jay's impression of Denzel is hilarious.
          That was the hardest I've laughed at SNL in years. That guy is REALLY good.

          She fascinates me in that she's able to keep it cool no matter how many cast members are close to breaking on screen. I'm not sure how she does it, keeps a straight face and still utters the lines that will only make the rest of the cast continue to laugh.
          She's an entertainer, and a very good one at that.

          I agree for the most part, but still, it's an institution. SNL is a legendary show and I can't imagine TV without it. I think for the most part they've just lacked the really talented people since the 90's era. A good majority of what they have isn't funny or edgy or anything. Jimmy Fallon was a cast member for how long? That guy was other-worldly terrible.

          Jay is a really good guy to build on, because him as Denzel is awesome. Have we ever seen a Denzel impression before? At least one that good? Imagine how funny it will be when Denzel inevitably shows up for a skit with him.

            re: Saturday Night Live

            This show's still on the air?

            Hasn't been funny since.............since...............well, the original NRFPT (Not Ready For Primetime) players: Chase, Akroyd, Belushi, Curtain, Radner, etc...

            I'll also mention Eddie Murphy. Buckwheat.....Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood.....Gumby.......funny stuff there!

            Well what do I know. I'm just an old fart who tried watching recent SNL's, only to turn them off after the opening monologues.......

              I try a lot of times to watch SNL, but I can just never get into it because it's usually just not that funny.

              They have a few really good cast members like Jay Pharaoh and Bill Hader, but that's about it. Samberg is decent at best and that Keenan Thompson guy is just terrible. I don't know how he's still even on the show after all this time.

              Forgot to mention back when the episode where Kanye was the musical guest that I was really surprised they didn't have him and Jay do something because Jay's Jay-Z impression is pretty much perfect.

                I actually thought last night's episode was one of the better one's I've seen in awhile.

                The MegaMart Black Friday Ad was hilarious.

                  and that Keenan Thompson guy is just terrible.
                  He's seriously, seriously, bad. I still can't believe he's been on the show as long as he has, considering it's like a professional comedy sketch show and everything. His impressions are beyond dreadful, and everything he does is simply lame. It's like he thinks he's still on All That.

                    Yup. Not to mention he always seems to be laughing during a lot of the skits he's in. I guess he doesn't realize not many other people are laughing with him because he's terrible.

                      That's the second time she's done that skit and she is a perfect caricature of Miley Cyrus.

                        I love the energy Hathaway brought to the show. Her Kate Holmes impression is impressive. I thought it was a pretty solid episode. Having a good host can make a big difference.

                        I'm surprised they would ask De Niro to host for a 3rd time. The first 2 times he hosted, the episodes were horrible. He just read off the cue cards the whole time and didn't even try to hide it.

                          Yes, her impression of Holmes was very well done.

                            The comments about SNL not being as good is probably the most timeless phrase in television.

                            I believe it's been said with every great cast turnover. I've gone back and watched some of the stuff from the 70s and really a lot of it is hit or miss too.

                            Nothings changed about SNL but the cast and the people watching.

                                I JUST watched the 70s/80s stuff, and aside from the magical Eddie Murphy and Bill Murray stuff, it really is overblown. Some of the older work is downright terrible. The Digital Shorts really add a new element, and I think the weekend update has been much better these last few years than it was back in the day.
