As soon as I heard that Biden had passed the torch to Kamala I knew Maya Rudolph was going to have a banner year

Not as much of a gimme as Tina Fey / Sarah Palin but it'll work no question.

[-] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Not as much of a gimme

Huh. I'm not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, "wasn't she in The Good Place?"

I feel so vindicated right now.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Genuinely hilarious! Maya Rudolph was so great in The Good Place, but most of them were. What a good show.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

She is a pretty lady.

[-] Yankee_Self_Loader@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I would take her out for ice cream

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I'd make her nose bright red if you know what I mean

I don’t know what you mean.

Glad to hear Loot is continuing. It's a nice feel good comedy.

It's a good show. I also liked how it featured that "$295 million" horrible house from that ~~awful~~ mesmerizing wannabe Robin Leach YouTube video that made the rounds a few years ago, this one.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but has Tyler Labine agreed to play JD Vance yet?

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Nice

I love Maya, but I thought she left SNL? I remember her hosting SNL as guest on last Mother Day.

[-] MySkinIsFallingOff@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'll wildly recommend one of the latest Kill Tony episodes with a stunning performance of Trump by Shane Gillis, and Adam Ray as ~~doctor ph~~ Joe Biden. Absolutely hilarious 👌

[-] bricklove@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Shane Gillis was so good at Trump I was forgetting it wasn't him up there

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Judge Gen is gonna play Kamala?

Perfect

I'd be okay if SNL never did political sketches again

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 53 points 3 months ago

Dude, they’ve been doing political sketches for close to 50 years now. Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 3 months ago

The amazing thing is you don't have to watch them

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

alrighty

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I get why they do them. They’re relevant and buzz worthy.

I do agree that they aren’t anywhere close to being top tier sketches.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Do you just not like them or did a political SNL sketch kill your family or something?

Saturday Night Live is still a thing?

[-] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 46 points 3 months ago

People have been saying that since season 2.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

they will never recover from Chevy Chase's withdrawal

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

This guy is streets ahead

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 months ago

Wait until you get to the Eddie Murphy part!

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

i literally just finished watching all 900 episodes. it has its ups and downs, but its still funny.

weekend update is the 'humor' anchor

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

ok so which episode is tops for you?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 19 points 3 months ago

i did not really expect it, but 2 of the best hosts were zack galifinakis(sp?) and justin timberlake

seriously, timberlake is fucking comedy Gem.

[-] papacraw@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

one must'nt argue with My Dick in a Box.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 10 points 3 months ago

that shit was award winning

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

I auditioned as a writer for SNL this year (didnt get it). The workload and ambition is insane. it's really easy to criticize until you have to produce even just the first drafts of a weekly packet, let alone redraft and get shooting script ready.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

So much work goes into just filtering out inappropriate jokes from idiots who think they're the next George Carlin.

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, I wasn't saying it sucked. I just haven't heard about it much lately and I remember it from the '90s, which was a long time ago.

[-] spongebue@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It was on point and very popular during the Trump administration, especially during the early years. Melissa McCarthy did an excellent Sean Spicer. https://youtu.be/UWuc18xISwI
