Glad he's one of the writers. He's definitely better doing bits like butter pants rather than minor parts in some random skits.

Last night's episode was pretty good I thought.

The Jebidiah character during weekend updates kills me. Just hilarious.

Very solid episode. Liked the kissing skit too. And Kate McKinnon's Russian lady is always good for a laugh.

I need to see this sketch again - my first impression is brilliant:

Whiskers R’ We: “One man’s trash…is another man’s cat.” Look, the sketches haven’t been that great tonight, but some of the individual lines have been DYNAMITE. While ostensibly a segment about cat adoption, it’s really about Theron’s obsession with McKinnon’s character. (“I’m not a fan of this cat…little dumbass!”) But on top of that through line, we also get baby jaguars (who eat only bald eagles) and the sociopathic cat Damian, so there’s plenty of animal-related humor as well. Something about Theron’s wide eyes in this sketch sold me on her character, and as with Gayle earlier, she’s relishing the opportunity to play “weird” rather than “pretty.” “The Man Plan” was probably a better-executed sketch, but this was the weirder, funnier

Yup, sketch of the night/year:

http://www.hitfix.com/comedy/adorabl...s-whiskers-rwe

"My name was Jackie, but I changed it to reflect my interests"

"She speaks three cat languages, tabby, calico and German".

"I would adopt her myself, but I should work on getting my kids back first".

"That's my arm, and I think you know that".

"I'm not a fan of this cat - little dumbass".

"She's not allowed in the United States because she only eats bald eagles".

"You can't just take a hawk and shave its head - she knows the difference".

"I'm not here for the cats".

"We suggest you adopt Damian with another cat who can be the focus of his cruelty".

I was wondering about that as well. I really don't understand "hipster" music. That was some of the worst music I had ever heard. I would rather see Rebecca Black perform.

Contender for the worst SNL season finale ever. Except for 3-4 actors (Thompson, Killam, Bayer, Pedrad), this cast is no good, plain and simple. They've let too many new kids in without ensuring they can carry the ball. Even with the help of the previous cast, it was not funny. "the Vogelchucks" was revoltingly disgusting. Samberg was not funny as a regular, he's no funnier now. Big fat fail.

I have always liked Andy and thought he was good again last night, but I agree with the Vogulchucks sketch. I think I turned my head or closed my eyes for most of it. It was pretty off putting. That and the musical guest were easily the low points of the show.

Maybe her records are good. Live, it sounded like ass.

I don't think it was just a live thing. I know music is subjective, but her "music" just sounds awful.

Try listening to this for than 30 seconds. Seriously.
