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.

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.  

ETA - because I know it matters...  I did enjoy Michael Longfellow and the TikTok bit.

I don't think I even laughed once.

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.

One positive aspect of this show: no cameos resulting in a solid ten minutes of the audience shrieking like twees at a Swift sighting. 

Oh, and the TikTok was funny. In addition to pointing out a sad reality. 

Otherwise: smug asshole says what? Yeah, I was just thinking how little attention is given to self-congratulatory d-bags and how we need more of that right now. Bravo for delivering, show?

Yeah the only thing that counted were the Chappelle Show characters at the end.

And even then they were characters in a show that went off the air before SNL's current demo was even born.

Ugh, thanks for making me feel old. Like I don’t have enough reminders.

”. . . and just in time, here comes dumbass Ashy Larry!” Good times, man. Good times.

I guess I'm in the minority that did not notice anyone's crotch in particular?

Neither did I. 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.

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).

Chappelle's monologue did run very long but I thought it was totally worth it. His story about Carter made me tear up.

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.  I wouldn't mind seeing another.
