Pete Martell November 7, 2020 Share November 7, 2020 They should do a sketch about the networks not wanting to call it. This made me laugh. 4 2 Link to comment
Florinaldo November 7, 2020 Share November 7, 2020 (edited) I am certain that the cast and writers are grateful that the election announcement being made in the morning meant that they had a whole day to readjust their sketches for tonight (although they may have prepared variant versions, just in case).

Biggest news of the past few years broke today, cast members are ready to blow ninety minutes of straight fire before collapsing from mental exhaustion, we might see one or more of Dave Chapelle’s characters again (totally cool if we don’t), but Clemson/Notre Dame takes priority. When the game wraps up, would we have to get local news first? And has SNL ever been preempted entirely? I think maybe back in 1986 when Game 6 of the World Series took place, but I could be wrong.

freddi November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 It’s only 8:30 out here in PT zone — hoping they don’t start and then broadcast later on a delay. Hmmmm. Link to comment
meatball77 November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 WTF? Who cares about football. Shove it over to another channel and give us SNL. 6 Link to comment
freddi November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 (edited) Wow, they just said on air that SNL will start 30 minutes after local news EXCEPT ON THE WEST COAST. That’s a first. Edited November 8, 2020 by freddi 1 Link to comment
ottoDbusdriver November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 The NBC football announcer just indicated that SNL would start 30 minutes after the end of the game -- so we may be waiting a while. Link to comment
Lantern7 November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 Yep, we gotta wait for the end, followed by local news. Are they filming now? Do we get it on tape delay? Or does everyone wait? 1 Link to comment
ebk57 November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 (edited) I think they wait. Just like us... Edited November 8, 2020 by ebk57 Link to comment
freddi November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 Sounds like we get it live on the West Coast. Or that they start the delayed taping as soon as the game ends. Anyone remember the “Heidi” incident from the 1970s? Same thing, except the NFL and a movie. They cut away from the game and still are taking grief for it. 3 Link to comment

formerlyfreedom November 8, 2020 Author Share November 8, 2020 Apparently, a bunch of us are going to be delayed in watching, since local news made varying choices. So please be kind to fellow posters who may seem a bit out of step! 1 Link to comment
xaxat November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 (edited) It seems like a bunch of NBC affiliates really screwed this up. It started with the end of the earlier football game. Instead of showing the overtime, some of them switched to local content at the end of regulation. Then, after the game, they went back to local programming instead of going live with SNL. I was literally screaming at my TV when they showed the same infomercial that interrupted my football game instead of SNL. I just know they are going to jump into the middle of the show like nothing happened. Edited November 8, 2020 by xaxat Link to comment

Dr.OO7 November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 (edited) The opening sequence was terrific. I'm pretty sure these guys weren't acting in conveying their joy and relief. And the audience cheering everytime Maya cited all the "firsts" that Kamala would be. Trump's piano version of "Macho Man" (obviously parodying Kate McKinnon) was hilarious, as was his declaration "As anyone who died halfway through Tuesday night knows, I was reelected president." As was Jim Carrey channelling Ace Ventura--"Loser!" Is it me or was even Alec Baldwin cracking up during the "fire black people" skit? I'm glad for Jost pointing out something I did earlier--Trump is irrelevant from now on. I don't usually like the "other people" bits on Weekend Update", but "Giuliani" was hysterical.

mtlchick November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 I’m in Canada, but my NBC feed is from Boston and there was maybe 5 minutes about the election before it started airing at 1153 pm. Dave is racking up those fines that Lorne is more than willing to pay. 1 4 Link to comment
Spartan Girl November 8, 2020 Share November 8, 2020 Jim Carrey won the night with the “Loooooser!” I was hoping for a Truman Show bow, but that was more cathartic. And Maya with the “You About to Lose Your Job” dance. Please keep them on, Lorne. I was pissed at the football delay. Even more pissed seeing that crowd storming the field at the end because PANDEMIC. Morons. 7 Link to comment
