Bill Burr is going to host. Fantastic.

The way things are going, they're going to need to be re-writing the cold open right up until they go on the air.

Tricky position. Do you make fun of him? Do you not? Do you avoid it completely?
I have no idea how they should approach

I would think that the best approach would be to do the opener focused on the debate and make the emphasis on Biden so as not to poke Trump too much in his current. Of course they can include Trump and some of his major gaffes but make the opener all about Biden.

Amazing opening sort of ruined by Chris Rock here.

That's the weakest SNL in years. Really disappointed, was hoping for a strong start to the season.

I like the way they did it... but the skit as a whole was a flop. Weird pacing. No flow.

Yeah, even the whole "ah, shut man" line could have had a better set-up. They just threw it in there. Considering they had six months of downtime, they could have thought of some better sketches.

The cold open was awful and went on forever. The monologue was disappointing and the sketches were forgettable. Hopefully they do better next week.

Watched the open and Chris Rock monologue before falling asleep.
Wow is Jim Carey talented. I wonder how long he works on a character like that.

So talented. I bet he works endlessly on characters, because he’s a pro. However I bet, in our eyes at least, he’s nailed it within 90 seconds.

I liked the name change sketch, and thought Weekend update handled the Trump thing properly.

I want to love Jim Carrey again, but he's part of one of the worst and most dangerous anti-intellectual movements out there.

I thought the opener was good. The rest sucked though.

They've done the name change thing before and it's pretty lowbrow humour. I feel like I could come up with better jokes.

Megan Thee Stallion mailed it in, boring

I don't know if I laughed once that entire show. Maybe from Bowen Yang's bit.

The NBA draft stretch was insulting and almost offensive

Is Carrey still an anti-vaxxer or was that only a thing he went along with when he was with Jenny McCarthy?
