Oof. We'll see how this goes but my hopes are not high.

I'll take House 3 please.

House 2 looks really good, too! I'm old.

I don't have huge expectations for tonight's episode, I just appreciate that they're making the effort. I'm not real picky these days. 

[vb68]

House 1 looks fantastic, especially with Roseanne Roseannadanna. 

Where are the Sweeney Sisters?

I hope people hear about it and catch it, because my DVR didn't pick it up (it's only set to record new episodes, not repeats) and if I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't know about it. When I went to set the recording, my listings were still saying it's a repeat.

 

Thank you for letting us know.

Michael Che posted on his Instagram that he paid the rent for all 160 units in his grandmother's building for next month. Apparently there is no rent forgiveness for public housing.

        Hey VB68. Maybe Since Aunt Linda Critiques Movies, Maybe That Is How Stefon Became A Consultant ! I Can't Quite Remember What He Is, But He Tells People Where They Can Go Visit When They Come To New York ! Jody

          Hello Ruby. I Agree With You ! I Did Not Read That Article, But IF They Said That 6 Or 7 People Impersonated Hilary, Then They Were Wrong ! FOUR People Impersonated Hilary And They Each Had Their Particular Take OF Hilary So IT Wasn't The Same Impersonation ALL 25 Years ! Jody

Another SNL at Home this weekend!

 

[vb68]

Yay! I really enjoyed the first one!

They sure do announce these late in the week, though.

I wonder if they keep coming up with bits and vids and as soon as they have enough to fill 1.5 hours, they go.

I think you must be right about that.

Chris Redd tweeted a few days ago about how he didn't know how content creators managed to do what they do (which is when I wondered if we were getting another episode), so it does seem like they keep coming up with things to the wire. 

I wonder if this episode will have a host to fill up some time, like Tom Hanks did, or will just be sketches. I could see Jimmy, Seth or Mulaney 'hosting,' but the only thing is no one has been rumored or announced.

I don't remember Chris Martin being announced or rumored last time as a musical guest, so I guess anything is possible.

Also, thinking about it, another reason they probably skipped doing a show last week was because the broadcast networks had that Global Citizen concert show on with the late night hosts.

You're right; I'd forgotten Martin wasn't announced. I prefer having a host/monologue to ease us in, but I suppose if we don't at least it would give the cast more time. 

[dvr devotee]

Literally just said "YES!" out loud to nobody but my dog...and he is fast asleep. I really enjoyed the last one, and hope this one hits the mark for me, too.

I'd love if Cecily is in the episode this week, but, from reading that article, I'd understand if she's still not up for creating new content. 

[Jody]

 

       Hello VB68. I Thought That Maybe They HAD Announced The Repeat OF John Mulaney And David Byrne And I Watch EVERY Week Even the Repeats ! I Think They Had John Mulaney For People That Were Expecting That And I Saw The First Showing OF That, But I Saw IT Again Any Way ! I Laughed BOTH Times ! In Case, You Don't Know What I Am Talking About Is They DID Have John Mulaney The Following Week ! You Will Find out Later That The Week After They HAD John Mulaney, They DID Do A Second AT Home Episode ! Jody

So that's probably taking the place of an At Home edition this week?  Meh.

Though I always did like The Mother's Day sequel to Dick In a Box.

No, the tweet says that is airing on Sunday. The online listings for this Saturday [S45, Ep. 18] claims to be another at-home episode.

Oh ok. I just figured since there was an announcement for this and not one with it for a Saturday show, that's all we would be getting. Thanks for clearing that up! 🙂

A standby line podcaster suggested this one will be the season finale. I guess we will know for sure today or tomorrow.

I wonder if anybody-- Kate?? Possibly Pete?-- says an official goodbye in that format? I'm guessing probably not.

This is probably more suited to speculation, but much as I don't know if anyone will willingly leave in this format (I could see budget cuts leading some performers to not be asked back next season, as the industry has taken a huge hit), but if some do want to leave, I was thinking yesterday about what a beautiful sight it would be if we see the whole cast, each in a box on the screen, and those who are leaving sign out, with our last scene of the season being the remaining cast and the empty boxes where the departing cast were.

[Bruinsfan]

Unfortunately I doubt the empty boxes would be Pete, Heidi, and Kyle, which is what it would take for me to consider it a beautiful sight.

I actually can see Pete and Kyle leaving. Heidi probably not, but you never know.

I still laugh at the "Dear Sister" short.

 

 

[Pete Martell]

The photos/clip of Jimmy Fallon wearing blackface (from the 2000 Joshua Jackson/'N Sync episode) circulated again, leading Jimmy to make an apology. (the show hasn't made any comment)

 

[VCRTracking]

 

 

[Jody]

 

         I Don't Know what Pete was talking about  so I guess he was just speculating on when Lorne is going to leave. Maybe, there was An Article where some body else was wondering when Lorne was going to Leave Saturday Night Live.

[vb68]

I like that Pete felt revitalized on the show, and he got to work with Sandler.

Also very cool with Mikey and his son. I agree with him that his son will really appreciate that  his son got to work on the show as he gets older.

Looks like the dreams sketch was as big a mystery to the cast as it was to the audience. If there were any hidden meanings, nobody is saying.

          Hello VB68. I was talking about Pete Martell. You or some body said that Pete had made an announcement 43 Minutes Ago ! I Could not find out what he had said.

 

[Pete Martell]

Jimmy addressed the blackface sketch more directly on his show last night.

[Jody]

 

           Okay, Now I know that Pete's Big Announcement was about Jimmy Fallon. Every Body was talking about who was going to leave Saturday Night Live. Then, people were saying Lorne should leave. Then, we did not know who was coming back so possibly Saturday Night Live was cancelled. Any Way, I am glad that I now know what Pete was talking about.
