Saturday Night Live (SNL)

[GirlsAloudFan]

So is Beyonce no longer a child of destiny?

 

[HBK-79]

I don't know if the news has been posted yet.

But FOX has recently cancelled MADtv, SNL's so-called 'rival.'

What do you guys think about that?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

^never watched it so I don't care much about that news I guess.

Yeah, heard about that about 3 weeks ago.

The only thing I'll miss from that show is Coach Hines.

 

[Carek1230]

Doesn't much bother or affect me to hear this news. I watched it on occasion.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

so did anyone catch the show last night? It actually was pretty funny...and AMY POEHLER was on the news!

but, don't know what to think of this

[U2Fanatic4ever]

That was fantastic.

 

[Lila64]

There were some funny moments, that's for sure. Amy Poehler opening & on the news! I was drifting in & out on the couch while it was on. I missed that clip above til just now

 

[U2DMfan]

Amy's getting her own show.

I don't know much about it but I've always liked her.

 

[Carek1230]

I was surprised to see Amy on the show. Maybe they've asked her to stay on due to Hillary's new position since Amy plays Hillary so well.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

opening bit with Amy.

"Jizz in My Pants" has made my week thus far.

Someone just sent that to me. Funny.

Lonely Island, represent.

Those guys crack me up, Hot Rod specifically.

Then my second favorite Internet comedy team, Derrickcomedy, has a movie coming out, too... fucking awesome.

 

[No spoken words]

We used to watch the Bu back when I worked in LA. Cracked us up.

 

[Thora]

I hate it that these videos are only available to those living in the States. Why can't the funny be shared with the rest of the world?!

 

[Carek1230]

Thora

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

so is Amy Poehler back for good? I thought she was gone once the baby came.

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

Amy Poehler leaving is sad and i wish she would stay and snl is better than i said it was at the beginning of the year

 

[MrPryck2U]

Last night's show wasn't very good. Most of the skits went nowhere. Even the news sucked except when they had Gov. Patterson wandering around the set. Amy was the funniest one on the show.

 

[Pop Artist]

I think last night was really her last night (although I bet we will see the occasional cameo from her).

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yeah, i imagine this is how it will be hopefully.

 

[Carek1230]

I missed the show last night and my DVR didn't pick it up. Dammit. Oh well, guess I will have to catch the rerun.

 

[deep]

It was a terrible episode
the writing was awful

Mad TV has been better lately
they may have canceled the wrong show.

 

[Carek1230]

Maybe they DID cancel the wrong show. SNL's been going downhill for a while. They get someone who makes a hit and then that star takes off for bigger and better things. Too bad really.

They both suck, but MadTV wasn't on for 33 years. SNL probably will never get cancelled. What would NBC put in its place?

 

[Carek1230]

SNL gets really boring then seems to pick up a bit of steam then runs out of steam again then picks itself up and somehow manages to rack up the years on TV. I wonder how much longer it would last? It could really use a good re-vamp. Maybe SNL should merge with MadTV?!

 

[LMP]

SNL is always on a "downward slope" to some, you know? I think it's fine right now, but that's just me.

A MadTV/SNL merger would be an awful idea.

 

[U2DMfan]

Blizzard Man... check my style out.

Outside of the first 3 seasons (75-78) and Myers first few seasons (88-92), the show has never been great week in and week out. That's not what they do. 25 episodes with about half of them having shit hosts (and sometimes a lot more than half).

Cast and writing turnovers (sometimes it's a good thing) make the show even less consistent. The only constant about the show is the ever-present yearning for yesteryear.

madTv doesn't really even belong in this conversation.
SNL has more talent in it's 'beleaguered' cast of the moment than MadTv has had in it's entire run.
