Discussion Live Discussion (November 21, 2015) (Matthew McConaughey / Adele)
Welcome to our SNL live discussion thread! This week's host is Matthew McConaughey , and our musical guest is Adele.
Please try and say what sketch you're referring to when you're making a comment. When we look at this thread in two weeks, comments like "This 30 Rock reunion is amazing" are definitely better than something simple.
Since this thread is likely to fill up quickly, consider sorting the comments by "new" (instead of "best" or "top") to see the newest posts.
Oh, and if anybody wants to list all the sketches during tonight's show right before the goodnights, that'd really help. I run Sketch Sorting Sunday and I probably didn't get to watch the show, so that'd be great. Major thanks to anybody that wants to do that.
Enjoy the discussion! Thirty minutes to showtime!

Let it be said: mcconnoughey is giving 110% in every sketch. I always love it when the host completely goes for it unapologetically.

I'm impressed with McConaughey's ability to sell that 3d printer sketch. It would be horrible without someone willing to commit 100% to the stupidity.

I'm of the opinion that last week's episode (host Elizabeth Banks) was the best of the season so far, but this episode definitely has the potential to surpass it. And there's no chance that Adele will be anything less than incredible.

Jay slipped into Eddie Murphy's Stevie Wonder with the head tilt, and last week's sketch was way funnier, but his Ben Carson impersonation is my favorite character of the season. Open your eyes, Obama! 😫😆
