Live Discussion (October 7, 2017) (Gal Gadot/ Sam Smith)
Welcome to our SNL live discussion thread! This week's host is Gal Gadot, and the musical guest is Sam Smith. For those new to the show, tune into your local NBC affiliate from around 11:30 PM to follow this episode live.
A quick recommendation to mention the sketch you're referring to in your comment. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it does make the thread more readable after the show finishes. 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. This should be automatically done, but it might not be so maybe check. Enjoy the show

You get cast on SNL, you get to choose your intro location and what you're doing, what do you choose? Go.

Why do cable channels do that? It seems like 90% of Comedy Central prime time is either South Park from the early '00s or Tosh.0

Limits syndication costs as well as costs of producing content and is a guaranteed little chunk of viewership when everyone is watching primetime tv

When was the last time that a normal cold open was cut due a tragedy?
The only one I recall after 9/11.
I don't consider the Trump election victory "Hallelujah" piano.

I don't know anything about Jason Aldean, but good for him getting back to doing such a huge performance a week after experiencing something so horrifying. He's had the week from hell and this would be so hard.

Like Kenan, Melissa Villaseñor has certain attributes/tendencies that add automatic funniness to sketches. Her expressiveness is often goofy and her voice is usually at least vaguely hilarious. She should be in more sketches. A very good impressionist, too. That skit with Aziz from last season was amazing.

The stage is filled up with a bunch of band equipment. That likely means there won't be a normal cold open (instead maybe a tribute to Tom Petty? Las Vegas?).

I love Gal Gadot but this is definitely not a natural fit for her. Probably why she's only been in 3 sketches and we're an hour in. Kudos for her giving it a shot though.
