Princess Sparkle February 27, 2020 Share February 27, 2020 John Mulaney comes back for a third time, his Sack Lunch Bunch co-star David Byrne is the musical guest 1 Link to comment

freddi March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Awww, the monologue ending was so funny *and* sweet. Little girl on a "Make-a-Wish" visit chooses Mulaney ("but you can find me on the 405, I'm around...") and gets to meet Lin-Manuel Miranda during the day ("I don't know if he goes by 'Lin' or 'Lin-Manuel', but sure, let's meet him - Oh, LIN-<manuel>"). Then her confessing that LIN-<manuel> had been her first choice. Just Awww. And the "LIN-<manuel>" was perfect. 20 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Loved the monologue. Laughed uncontrollably at the meme sketch. Can't believe David Byrne is on TV right now! 8 Link to comment

formerlyfreedom March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Also David Byrne is fucking incredible! Hands down the most enjoyable musical performances I’ve seen on the show in years. Watching the performances was so much fun - and that’s usually when I’m taking my breaks during the show. 23 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 (edited) That was actually incredible. I'm never going to get over Jake Gyllenhaal and David Byrne! Mulaney was great. I loved Bowen singing his song "Profiled Asian". He's such a good singer! Edited March 1, 2020 by Ms Blue Jay 20 Link to comment
ebk57 March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 John Mulaney just brings out the best in this show. I hope he continues to show up at least once every season. And, we may have to try to see the David Byrne show on Broadway in the fall. 19 Link to comment

And of course we end with David Byrne doing a parody of On the Road to Nowhere with On a Plane to Nowhere. I am not worthy 13 Link to comment
Mystery March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Bowen Yang can sing! The costumes for the Sound of Music sketch were spot on. The way that Aidy and Kate laugh during the Sisters sketches make me wonder if sometimes things are surprises to them. It's really the only part of those sketches that I like. I enjoy Che more when he's drinking. 2 4 Link to comment
MVFrostsMyPie March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 LOL, John Mulaney is the bestest. This beyond made up for all the crappy episodes of the season. Which was basically all of them. Also, thank you for Alex Moffat in a chubby rat costume. Airport sushi, you are the best skit since diner lobster Les Mis! 10 Link to comment

It's really the only part of those sketches that I like. This one didn't work so well for me, but I do love the one with Jennifer Lopez. When I saw the black and white color scheme I was hoping for a sequel to the noir where Kate McKinnon and John Mulaney have no chemistry. 3 Link to comment
vb68 March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 (edited) Well that was fun and energetic. Loved John's monologue, Airport Sushi, and of course David Byrne for the fucking win! Weekend Update was certainly interesting this week. I will say Che is badly fooling himself if he thinks he's been pretending to care about politics. Che, just let Chris Redd do it. We need a lot more political commentary and analysis from Big Redd. He was fantastic. On Airport Sushi, I was in heaven when Mulaney started in on "....to be in LaGuardia..." Hey, you're Jake Gyllenhaal! The only things I didn't care for were the Cold Open, and that Sisters sketch....was annoying. When is a non-debate sketch actually a debate sketch? That was a freaking mess. You don't always need to work everything. I knew they would work Warren going after Bloomberg in, but that it didn't come close to the venom in real life. Come to think of it, neither did Amy and Pete's disdain for each other. So Biden is going to be played by committee, but nice to see Larry David is going along for however long the ride takes him. I could tell he was having fun tonight. Off to re-watch David Byrne again. Edited March 1, 2020 by vb68 7 Link to comment

As much as I love that movie, I have to admit that description sums it up perfectly. The airport skit was priceless, especially the "Plane To Nowhere" parody. Speaking of which, my only disappointment was that there wasn't a performance of "Road To Nowhere" during the musical segments. I was looking forward to it. 4 Link to comment

DollEyes March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 (edited) John Mulaney is adorable. Arguably the best non-basketball related thing going for March since St. Patrick's Day. David Byrne's epic performance of "Once In A Lifetime" had me barefooting with the rest of the band. I heart Jake Gyllenhaal. Edited March 1, 2020 by DollEyes 11 Link to comment
Peace 47 March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 On these John Mulaney shows, ALL I need is his monologue and one of his now-classic musical riff sketches, and I’m more than good, and he sure delivered on those two tonight! I’m pretty sure I was just sitting there with a stupid grin on my face through the whole LaGuardia sketch, even as I PTSD-flashbacked to being forced to buy an ugly $50 turquoise “New York” sweatshirt at one of those Hudson News kiosks on one sad day of broken HVAC and 5+ hour flight delays—good times). What place there sells sushi of all things, though? I shudder to think. 3 3 Link to comment

JakeyJokes March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 I’m from Minnesota, so I have great appreciation for Amy Klobuchar’s “I am from Minnesota, so I will cut you ... in line at Target.” (Also always flew out of JFK when I lived in Brooklyn and tried not to wince when my friend told me we were flying in and out of LGA on a trip he booked) 2 6 Link to comment
SHD March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Would anyone be kind enough to list where all the airport sushi song parodies were from? I knew a few, but not all. I need to turn on CC for those sketches. Cecily, Bowen, and John enunciate well, but I thought others got swallowed up in the music and it was hard to catch all the lyrics. 1 Link to comment

Pete Martell March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 I can see why this was cut but I like the concept and the performances (especially from Ego). Nice to see John playing against type. Beck looks very hot. Another one: They should have kept this one in. Great performances, tight writing, perfect John showcase, and much less meandering than many sketches now. Has a '90s feel, with Phil Hartman in the host role. I would have just dumped the closeups. 7 Link to comment
Psychobunny March 1, 2020 Share March 1, 2020 Confession here, while I was never a Hugh David Byrne fan ( more into Madonna and Whitney at that time) his music was always a background to my college years. Loved seeing him tonight and thought he brought it big time but I was wondering why they booked a musical guest with songs from 30+ years ago. Don’t get me wrong, it spoke directly to my fifty-something year old self but I do wonder what the younger generations think. I wasn’t sure why he was on but if he’s in Mulaney’s show it makes sense. Another unpopular opinion is that the LaGuardia sketch was enjoyable but it will never approach the brilliance of lobster Les Miz which had a defined storyline with a beginning, middle and end. This was more a series of funny observations strung together. I thought the Admiral sketch was somewhat homophobic and offensive. The Sound of Music skit was a winner and Mulaney’s monologues are killer but I didn’t find anything memorable. The only other sketch I even remember was Kyle’s taped one. Loves Alex as the random rat although until about half way through the sketch I kept wondering why there was a random bear in the sketch. Then I saw the tail and I got it. 2 Link to comment

(I don't live in New York and thus, haven't seen it.) And I can be the grumpy, get off my lawn guy who says at least the younger generations get to appreciate good music for a change! Kidding!(kinda). 4 Link to comment
