Is this supposed to be a sketch either?

Sedakis would just materialize if Kenan started doing that sketch.

I think the only point was making gif material.
That seemed to be the point of the last sketch too.

Why was that not done live?
I mean, why was that done at all, but why was that not done live?

Wouldn't be surprised if that's true.

Watching the bombs is half the fun though.

He does? I wouldn't call a 0.44 share good. Lorne is also great friends with Stern. There will be a strong Stern influence on NBC late night. I would almost bet on it. The quality of the Stern show, despite how neutered it is now, is leagues beyond what anyone is being done on late night TV. Stern has thrown too many clues out in the past year for it not to be true.
Ah, well whomever is head of America's Got Talent's network is pretty much blowing Stern for another ratings boost. Especially since Stern quit because of the Sony hack/Simon Cowell true intentions.

I was thinking the same thing. Nothing about that sketch demanded it be pre recorded...even Donald's part only meant him saying like three sentences.

Donald Trump can't even make SNL funny again. How can he make America great again?

I wish more people realized that the last half hour is the fun. There is a lot of shit being thrown at the wall. Sometimes you end up with some real gems.
You know, I really, truly, thought SNL would pull all the stops tonight because they know so many eyes will be on the show and by doing so it could help pull folks who have been away from the show for a long time back again.
This may cement that those people never come back. What in the world is wrong with this writing team?

Yes. That's what I'm here for.

I decided to look up a "What's up with that" sketch online and man it's still damn funny.

What happened to the SNL that had some bite to it? There is no message or comedy to any of these skits. It's pure garbage, but it's been that way for a bunch of seasons now. It's why I never watch anymore.
Yep I'm with you 100%.
Larry David as Bernie Sanders and McKinnon as Hillary is the only thing going for SNL right now

The Bernie Sanders joke on that last commercial was better than half the skit.

Yeah, they seem to do that a lot. I don't watch the show often and don't know much about it's history, but in the last few years they've done stuff like make fun of Bieber and then have him on as a guest and let him stand on a soapbox to apologize for behavior or discredit criticizers or whatever.
I heard some guy was offering money to anyone who successfully heckled Trump on the broadcast, did anything get through?
Kate McKinnon's Hillary is just bizarre to me, I'm not super familiar with Clinton but a lot of the mannerisms McKinnon does just seem pulled out of thin air. It's not really an impersonation, it's just Kate saying common observations about Hillary in a wacky way while dressed as her.
It's much better than the competition. And Stern is not someone Lorne could control. Lorne is in charge, he would never be able to be in charge of someone like Stern. Lorne would never pick someone who would outrank him in influence. There is a reason why he always picks people who he found and groomed like Conan, Fallon, and Meyers.
If Stern goes to TV, its not on the Lorne Michaels controlled world of late night tv of NBC. Lorne is the alpha-dog of NBC late night, Stern doesn't fit into that.

Maybe The Donald needed extra practice? Editing? Worried about protesters? I dunno...
SNL themselves made that a joke. They had Larry David do it during Trump's opener.

That was scripted though, right? Did anything unplanned get in?
I'm on the west coast and don't have cable so I think I have to wait for tomorrow to watch on Hulu.

This is all so weird. They do more jokes at Trump's expense on a normal night. So him being a good sport about being made fun of gets negated when they sorta dodge around it. Like that little Toots sketch was obviously a time filler. No set or anything, they obviously put it together last minute.
Strong suspicion that some stuff got left on the cutting room floor.

Is...is she blowing her nose at that girl in the cheap ass, thirsty wig?
Yeah, I bailed out. It was just bad.
I used to be an avid viewer of the show, but having cut cable, it wasn't something I looked at watching. I caught a sketch once in a while, but nothing consistent.
Anyway, has the audience been dead like this all season, or is it because Trump is on, or is it because the episode has been legitimately terrible? Terrible episodes from a couple of years ago still had louder audience reactions than tonight's episode.
