LIVE CHAT: SNL 40th Anniversary Special

[MostlyC]

I think ALL the commercials tonight should be SNL-centric.  Bad NBC, Bad NBC!

[Morrigan2575]

Celebrity Jeopardy....love it

[vb68]

So far this whole show is just fantastic.  Walking a nice line between comedic and nostalgic..  

[mtlchick]

Connery, Bieber and Bennett playing Jeopardy.  I'm crying already.

[Galileo908]

Celebrity Jeopardy!!

 

Sean Connery, Kate McKinnon as Bieber and Alec's Tony Bennett is a stellar lineup.

[Samsnee]

Aw would rather have Burt Reynolds than Justin Bieber.

[bmoore4026]

I don't care what anyone thinks, I love Miley Cyrus as Justin Bieber!

[Morrigan2575]

Aw would rather have Burt Reynolds than Justin Bieber.

Agreed

[M. Darcy]

They should have included Burt Reynolds over Tony Bennett

[mtlchick]

And they failed to pan up at "Whore Ads."  People!  Tonight is not the night for this!  

[Guest]

I love the camera doing a WTF motion back up to the title card.

Whore Rads. Of course Connery is on a time out. Finally.

[Fisher King]

There's Turd!

[Morrigan2575]

Burt!

[bmoore4026]

Norm as Burt!!!!

[M. Darcy]

Turd Ferguson!

[Galileo908]

Well, here's Turd Ferguson (with his own drive-up podium)!!

[editorgrrl]

They should have included Burt Reynolds over Tony Bennett

You mean Turd Ferguson? There he is!

[mtlchick]

And there's Turd!  I mean Burt! 

[Samsnee]

Well played SNL.

[ebk57]

Aw would rather have Burt Reynolds than Justin Bieber.

 

And now we have both!

[Growsonwalls]

Norm McDonald as Burt! I'm in heaven again!

[formerlyfreedom]

I don't care what anyone thinks, I love Miley Cyrus as Justin Bieber!

 

Isn't that Kate McKinnon doing Bieber?

[Galileo908]

And Taran as Christoph Waltz replaces Bieber. Admittedly, I think we came to a halt here.

[Morrigan2575]

Better and better...OMG Jim Carey as Mathew McConaughey

Is that who that is? Seriously? Wow. 

 

It does bother me just a wee bit that the first Jeopardy category question (about Tom Sawyer)  was grammatically incorrect. Oh well...can't win 'em all. 

 

And yes... I'm still feeling queasy about the Bass-O-Matic. Hilarious but nauseating.

[Galileo908]

Jim Carrey as Matthew McConaughey! Wow, I'm loving this so much.

[bmoore4026]

Oh, Jim Carey as Matthew McConaughey!  Love it!

[Guest]

He is never going to live down that car ad.

[mtlchick]

I'm officially sobbing at this sketch.  

[Galileo908]

Le Tits Now.

[Fostersmom]

I'm dying here!

[M. Darcy]

Turd's hat!

[bmoore4026]

"Le Tits Now"!  Oh, I'm lovin' this :)

[Morrigan2575]

Best Sketch Eva! I can't believe they went there with Cosby

Edited February 16, 2015 by Morrigan2575

[ABitOFluff]

Burt Reynolds in the oversized hat!

[ebk57]

OMG, they went to the Bill Cosby joke.  Bless them!

[Galileo908]

This was incredible. Kenan as Cosby and Trebek being horrified was just the perfect capper (along with Burt Reynolds shoving his giant hat onto Trebek)

[Growsonwalls]

Omg, this Celebrity Jeopardy sketch is amazing. I love Will Ferrell being the straight man. 

[M. Darcy]

Aw Phil and Jan's audition

[bmoore4026]

Oooo, auditions.  Interesting.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Shots of Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon's auditions.  So incredibly goddamn sexy.

 

Awwwww, Dana Carvey.

 

Non-hired Auditioners:  Kevin Hart, Zach G., Stephen Colbert, Jim Carrey, Andy Kaufman.

[mtlchick]

Leslie looked lovely in her dress.

[Fostersmom]

They are all babies! 

[Guest]

Interesting how many sketches and characters they brought with them to the audition.

[shantown]

I really want Brian Williams to pop up somewhere. Come on, SNL, prove you're still edgy!

[Stella MD]

Amazing how many well-known "characters" already make an appearance at auditions. Target Lady, Church Lady, Fred Armisen's "ay dios mio" mess

[Galileo908]

Wow, a highlight reel for audition tapes!

 

Kate McKinnon was awesome. As well as, well, just about everyone. Gilda, Belushi, Hartman, Chevy, Bill Murray, Will Forte, Will Ferrell, Carvey, Leslie Jones.

 

And the people they didn't keep: Jim Carrey, Zach Galifinakis, Kevin Hart, Stephen Colbert, Andy Kaufman!

[ajsnaves]

I think it was funny that we saw Phil talk about doing impressions, but never actually saw him do any.

[bmoore4026]

Isn't that Kate McKinnon doing Bieber?

 

I thought it was Miley Cyrus.  So much I know.
