Why do I sometimes feel that I watched a different episode than others did? Chris has always done that shouty thing with his voice. Watch his old standup. Asking if he's had a stroke or was drunk is a bit harsh, IMO. I liked the two Santas and Devon on a Zoom meeting and not wanting to be called "Blanta" made me LOL. The filmed short about the office party was SO my life at health care admin parties. Still wondering how SNL began when I was almost 15 and now it is in season 50 when I am only 25.

Since I am "of an age" , it's not Christmas until lead singer Garrett Morris and all of the Season One cast (with host Candace Bergen) sing Winter Wonderland. With the Howard Shore band/Paul Shafer on keyboards.

I liked the bald musical sketch...Python-like with the dancers and flag bearers. You know the extras were having a blast. The Dad phone call sketch was real and I thought Kenan and Devon had a nice chemistry as dad and son. Che drinking at the desk hit with me...it's going to be a long four years.

Why not have a legend as musical guest? She's released new music and it's season 50. Good enough for me

I wasn't all that crazy about the CO either, but Chloe T certainly gave it her all with confidence, mad respect to her. I've been very impressed with her since she joined the show. Adam is a great host, and on the shallow side, he was looking good last night.

That's not fair disparaging Chloe in comparison to Cass. Cass has always been one of my favorites from that era. Chloe has a great voice and is her own person.

I own the Rudolph DVD so I will watch several times. Santa Claus with Jessica's Acid Trip is best watched while drinking wine.

With respect, I don't see a physical resemblance between Pete and Devon.They both have nice smiles. And the cue card comment? Unfair.

I'm not sure if this belongs here but Dana Carvey's son Dex has died due to a drug overdose. So very sad.

JAJ was in the George Washington sketch

Heidi was in several things last week.

I just got around to watching tonight. Aside from the musical guest, for which I hit the scan button on the DVR, I thought it was a fairly solid opener. Random thoughts: Pete's remarks during the cold open set just the right tone. Someone upthread mentioned a soft spot for Pete. I'm the same. I've liked him from his first appearance as SNL's "resident young person".I want him to succeed and be healthy. I liked the NFL sketch, loved Mikey and Damon's bracelets. Heidi's fall onto the desk? I laughed out loud. Very Chevy-like. Kenan is very funny. He is the heart and soul of SNL. Jost and Che make me happy. Laughed and cringed at Glamgina, my spell check is confused. I'm so over Taylor. Everyone else can enjoy themselves.

Not surprised, but still unfortunate.Hope an agreement can be reached shortly.

Agree totally on the parody idea.almost 50 years later and I giggle when I think of Chevy and his Ford.."give me the ball, Liberty!" It was the idea of Ford being a well meaning doofus that was funny, not an on point imitation. For the other side of the coin..Phil Hartman's scary accurate Phil Donahue.

Based on some posts here,I'm wondering if I watched the same show. Because I enjoyed it. I liked the CO because..no politics.i liked the school game show,especially Kenan trying so hard not to break at Mikey's yelling. The Waffle House pretape had me rolling. WU is my highlight every week. Jost and Che have such a rapport that when their era ends, I'll be sad. Ego was the highlight of the Exorcist sketch.She is very talented. Even the jingle sketch had a joyful silliness. My only comment..why is Molly only seeming to be there to fill a "Addy Bryant dressed like a guy" space? Brendon Frazier and Governor Randy? In the same show. Was this the only reason they were hired! Ending on the positive, Devon Walker has a joyful smile and appears to really be loving what he's doing. Hoping for more from him.
