I’m pretty sure Tonya was saying Kyle broke up with her right after Sarah’s accident, because his family needed him. Lana’s issue is that maybe he loves the girls/their family, but would he have ever come back for just her, the wife he was cheating on.

Since they were doing Inventing Anna, they had to use someone VERY low in the hierarchy—part of the real story was Anna stiffing some of her low paid worker friends, not just soaking the rich. Agreed, though, it would be nice if they would fit Aristotle in somewhere. I’ll ask resident expert @Pete Martell if he knows, is this the first time ever that Michael Che got to say, “This is Weekend Update,” and introduce himself first? Not only that, the YouTube channel always shows the top stories with a still of Colin and the second half of Update with a still of Michael. But this week the first video (Russian forces) has Michael’s picture and the second half (Euphoria fans) has Colin’s. I’ve always wondered whether they’d ever switch that up towards a more equal partnership. I know Ego’s bit was about Rihanna’s pregnancy outfits, but damn is it a billboard for saving reproductive choice.

It probably is, but Supermom has him in an AI translation field which is turning everything forward again.

Yeah, I heard on NPR that she was stepping back from her show because she’s been dealing with Graves’ disease and it’s become too much. Decriminalization means that they take away the laws already on the books making it illegal to engage in sex work. So you could just… go solicit and do your thing, and no one can arrest you for it. Legalization means it’s legal to do but there are new laws around it. Like, “it’s legal if you work in a licensed brothel” with the attendant licensing system set up. Or, “it’s legal if you keep a current STD check card with you that you’ve been examined in the past three months.” Etc. Sometimes the legalization mechanism is extremely overbearing, like in the first example where the Nevada brothels take 50% of the earnings off the top.

You should absolutely look up their Eurovision performance, and their press conference after they won Eurovision. That’s what put them on my radar!

I’ve heard the story several times of the Ukrainian defenders on the island telling the Russian warship to go f—- itself. The sunflower seed lady was new to me, but, damn, she obliterated that soldier! The police arguing that they should be able to continue having sex with the sex workers they’re entrapping is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever heard. Farewell, Wendy Williams. I wish her health.

I wish that Podcast Set sketch had aired! Not sure what I would have swapped it for, but it’s top tier.

They were younger and more “screaming fan” than his usual crowd. He rolled with it well, though.

This is both absolutely horrifying and deeply saddening. I hope she gets resolution.

I think alternate universe selves would still be way out there to the average citizen. See JHI and Natalie keeping their origins secret so as not to be thought crazy. It’s just very interesting that the actual journalistic sins of Lois are around her hiding information about her connection to the subject, and soft pedaling the story to protect Lucy. Whereas Lucy is so far down the rabbit hole that her huge objection to the story is, “Ally told me what I would see and (hopped up on drugs) I did. So you unethically, purposefully left out that Ally is right in order to smear her.” Which… I’m not sure Lois can get Lucy back.

I was not expecting such an amazing exchange with Dua Lipa. This one is right up there with Stephen’s talk with Anderson Cooper about grief.

I always listen (I follow via the podcast), even when Rachel is off. I still want to know the news at the deeper level the show provides.

I can get behind waging psychological warfare on autocrats via social media. Vicious girls high school juniors sounds about right for it. Count me as another person who had no idea Willem Dafoe was from Wisconsin. I always thought he was a dyed in the wool New Yorker, like his character in the tenants’ meeting sketch. Katy Perry’s backup dancers and their costumes… wow. I love it when a performer really knows how to put on a show, even in the limited SNL stage area. Off the top of my head, Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion maximized the space for their performances, too.

The one thing I don’t like about any of the guys who replace her—and they do a great job otherwise—is that they always cut off the guests. They say something like, “Thank you for speaking with us tonight,” then immediately start the next story. Meanwhile, the guest’s “Thank you” is awkwardly run over. It happens very occasionally with Rachel, but she does give a second of pause and it’s usually a sound delay issue. With the guys it just sounds like they’re summarily dismissing the guest and ignoring/talking over them. I guess the producers should just start immediately cutting off the guest feed the second the “Thank you for coming” is over, whenever there’s a guest host.

Rachel must have been in heaven over the A block. Heists AND Presidential history? Together?! What could be cooler?!!

Can you picture the Don Jr and Eric Trump sketches? Day = Don.

Interesting… I guess they changed up the end of the Romansplaining segment at the last minute. The closed captions on the YouTube video show a different joke (that I actually like better): Tired of speed dating? Try Swede dating, where you hook up with Alexander Skaarsgard at IKEA inside a Malm cabinet.

I think he may be using a ring light with his webcam—the lighting is very noticeable. With so much light close and straight on, I think it just highlights his eyes more.

If he had a hand in it, he wasn’t credited in IMDB.

Seeing this sketch from 2015 again reminds me a lot of Seth’s graphics department …

So glad they’re not going to drag this out!

I love Wally! I always root for him to get lines rather than just a camera appearance, so he can earn extra 😄 I don’t know what I’m going to do over the next few weeks with no show and, most importantly, no Corrections. I laughed at loud at Mikey the Shoe sounding exactly like Seth’s impression of him!

😂 I immediately pictured her saying, “Oh, mmm, mmm. I ain’t playing that with you. How the hell I’m supposed to know what number you thinking!”

The closest I can think of is Jeff Goldblum saying a big, very specific number and then immediately saying something like, “It’s amazing, I was right!” And clowning about it for so long that Stephen didn’t even get to say, “No.” That’s about the only thing you can do with that, and it’s now been done.

Oh, man. Seth wants to do Best Of Corrections, and I would never be able to decide. Jackals are mentioning the knitting war+sweater, the rooster spy who couldn’t wink, the graphics department who gets off on humiliation…. Best Of would just be playing them all over from the top!
