Lol. I know he’s a man. I’m not sure what his preferred pronoun is.

I don't think drag queens are particular about pronouns, they consider their drag persona to be a character they play.

David Byrne is a treasure.

That was actually one of the funniest monologues in some time. Wasn’t a fan of having Mulaney host again so soon but it was good.

Overall it was a good episode. Mulaney can host every week as far as I'm concerned. But David Byrne really stole the show. This is probably one of the best musical performances in the history of SNL:

The dude to the right of Byrne that looks like Floki/Zombie/Beetlejuice had me cracking up last night(3:18 in the video).

Yeah, people on Reddit are calling him Zombie Matt Walsh.



I'd love to see Byrne's live show. It's impressive to see how they were able to mic everyone wirelessly.

I thought the whole show was mostly terrible.

What was going on with Che in Weekend Update?

Finally watched this. That performance was great. I still think Kanye performing Runaway was the best ever, but this was up there. Just loved the juxtaposition of his ####### character and the ballerinas representing women’s innocence.

Anyways I am guessing SNL is done for....indefinitely. Sad.

FYI, SNL is returning tomorrow night with some kind of "at home" version of the show. It is unclear of exactly what this will entail.

Almost any comedy/talk show that normally uses live audiences and then tries some sort of quarantined version have been duds.

I'd imagine sports are going to feel the same way when you take away the crowd atmosphere.

Colbert's first week or 2 were pretty rough, but he's got a groove going now and it has still been pretty entertaining.


I'll give this SNL a try.

That’s assuming the shows were funny to begin with. The audience is basically canned laughter / applause. If something is funny, it will be funny with or without a live audience to prompt you to laugh or react.

Yeah, monologues fall a little flat without an audience, but good conversations with funny people is working.

Fallon and Ferrell and Wiig did a remote soap opera.

Last week tonight hasn't missed a beat. But Johns humor lends it self to not being laughed at.

Fallon was the worst off the bat IMO. I havent watched him really since the 2nd or 3rd show. He obviously needs to be more prepared than the rest. I did laugh at the soap opera thing, but he's held up by two of the best ever cast members, so...

Meyers, most of his jokes just arent that funny. A lot of times they seem to do jokes that they know are bad, and that's part of the funny with Meyers staring dead-pan into the camera. But that really only works when there's an audience to groan to it and you can respond with improvised banter.

Colbert had the right idea out of the gate, just doing simple things from home, and he's just a funny person. I like that he seems to be keeping all the mistakes in rather than cutting around them, it makes it more funny I think. I think he's got the "dead silence" timing down too.

Kimmel is great, I think because he's always live, and has a history with radio, he really hasn't missed a beat. I think he's been the best adjusted.

Oliver also great, it's true he doesn't really need the laughter as much because a lot of time he's trying to talk through them anyways (Although his back and forth with their reactions is good).

Sam Bee has been excellent I think. They obviously had a bunch pf taped segments done before the crisis so that helps. But her setting is different, and just her topics are different with her point of view having a new twist on things vs the men. I hope as they lose pre-recorded stuff her husband, Jason Jones, gets more involved (currently operating the iPhone apparently). He's hilarious.

I would honestly rather they show some reruns of some of their highest rated shows like from the early 2000's and 90s and earlier.

Or even just do highlight shows with some of the best sketches. Maybe have a different featured performer each week and a clip show.

Being Saturday night live and led by the great Canadian Lorne Michaels, I'm excited to see what they do.

The zoom call sketch (before the office managers went off the rails) was spot on.
