Lantern7 January 19 Share January 19 (edited) I feel bad for James Austin Johnson. Yeah, he’s got job security, but playing that role has to wear on a guy. Hey, it’s Bowen as George Santos.

JeanJean January 19 Share January 19 (edited) For me, best cold open in a long time. I loved the skewering of Ari Melber. His quoting of hip hop and rap lyrics and sucking up to celebs drive me crazy. I cracked up when Ego/Joy asked Stephanie Rule, "Are you trying to hook up?"

Lantern7 January 19 Share January 19 Longest monologue ever? There’s going to be a lot of cut sketches going online.

Galileo908 January 19 Author Share January 19 (edited) Cold Open: Sarah Sherman as Rachel Maddow is just good casting. And Chris Hayes really is "Woke Sheldon." It's kinda sad how The Avengers For Your Aunt have bended the knee, too. But it was fun. I'm already tired of the next...however long this idiocy is gonna last. I stopped tracking politics after the election, I honestly had no idea if George Santos was gonna be part of Trump's cabinet (thankfully, he's not). Monologue: Huh, so Dave WAS asked to host after the election again. And as expected, he changed his whole act the moment LA went on fire. Clearly untested material, it went on too long. But some of it worked. What bothered me the most? He was sitting down the whole time and you could tell he was packing. It's midnight and those were the only sketches so far. Immigrant Dad Talk Show: Natural that Dave would be in this. Pretty rich for him to say "OCDs nuts!" as we've been seeing them for the past 25 minutes. And Dave decided to sit spread eagle in sweatpants this time... Fire Alert: Well, this sketch went in directions I wasn't expecting. Money and guns in the walls, random thug getting shot by a silencer, a French family hiding under the cabinet, the dog gets gutted, blood everywhere. Now this was a Dave sketch. Unhinged as hell. WU: Gotta love Give No Fucks Colin and Che this week. "Dry January" was a hell of a thinker. Loved that. The Bill Clinton ship "covered in seamen" joke was something straight from the 90s. (Surprised Che didn't give us another "It's the 90s!" from that). And good god, "Hear Me Out" had Joke Swap written all over it. Loved the dramatic sting for the graphic. The makeup team earned another Emmy for turning Squirm into Nosferatu. Dying at that whole bit. Missing Persons Report: Kenan! Been missing him. This was sadly a dud for me. Pop The Balloon or Find Love: And we saved the Chappelle's Show characters for last. Silky Johnson and Beautiful. And Ashy Larry! I miss Charlie Murphy so much. So...welcome to 2025! For some reason, Timothee Chalamet is doing double duty next week. Then the SNL 50th show.

ebk57 January 19 Share January 19 (edited) I hated pretty much all of this show. Even WU. I was slightly amused at the missing person report, but that was it. I was hoping the football game would go to OT so I could skip it - and I was going to anyway, but Mr. ebk wanted to watch. So now it's done and deleted from the DVR.

peeayebee January 19 Share January 19 Ugh. To be honest, I was playing a game on my phone while I watched. A few things I liked: In the CO, Joy saying, "You can call me Ann Reid because the Joy is gone." And Trump saying, "We will be indoors. Too many people to fit outside." I admit it took me a second to get this, as did the audience. Also, I never noticed Trump pronouncing inauguration as "in-orgeration." Of course, I try to avoid all video of him speaking. Hardly listened to the monologue. Too long. Glad I was on my phone so I missed Chappelle's balls in my face. In WU, I liked the line that after Biden speech listing his accomplishments, he said, "You ungrateful bastards." Amen. I also liked the line about Zuckerberg flying out to Maralago: "And boy are his knees tired." Completely FF'd past the music. Terrible show. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151487-s50e11-dave-chappelle-glorilla/#findComment-8558480

I guess the lighting in the room was too dark for me (I was watching on Peacock - no pun intended - so that might be it) or I was just wondering what he was going to say and didn't notice anything else. I'm not saying that to be a Puritan, I guess I just wasn't really paying attention. 4 hours ago, nickp1991 said: Chappelle might be doing the longest monologue in SNL history Apparently, it was. A more detailed dress rehearsal report isn't out yet that I saw, but on Saturday Night Network last night they mentioned that the dress monologue was only 8 minutes long and the only thing that was in it which was also in the live show was the commentary about Springfield. Here is more on the cut material (including a pre-tape about Luigi Mangione which would have focused on Chappelle's old Tyrone Biggums character). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151487-s50e11-dave-chappelle-glorilla/#findComment-8558616

It was a nice little tribute to Carter. The thing I like about Chappelle is that he comes across as partisan, but he doesn't let the hate twist him into an ogre. Too many people become completely toxic over politics these days. Didn't notice anyone's crotch. I usually find Weekend Update boring, but I liked the Nosferatu gimmick and Colin's "Hear Me Out" segment.

MediaZone4K Sunday at 01:20 PM Share Sunday at 01:20 PM (edited) I thought the Chappelle episode was the best one this season, I really like seeing some of his characters like Ashy Larry and the pimp come back in the pop the balloon sketch. Glorilla's cameo was cool too. If you regularly watch MSNBC you'll find so many tokens of truth in that sketch. It's always interesting when a show criticizes It's own network a la Family Guy skewering Fox News. I love the line "Avengers for your Aunt" as my aunt religiously watches MSNBC and the hosts are presented as a superstar lineup anytime there's big political news. The poignant line about not giving air time to you know who yet continuously interrupting programming to give air time to his comments hit hard. The gun in the safe sketch for the LA fires was hilarious. At first I wasn't feeling Sarah Sherman as Nosferatu but the jokes on Colin, including the period joke were funny. Colin's AI ch*ld p*rn joke was risky but it worked. I really love Colin and Che on Weekend Update because how frequently they push the envelope.
