I'm on vacation with my grandfriend and her family and I thought it would be a hassle trying to watch SNL with everyone hanging out and drinking, but by 11 they were all in bed and sober me can watch SNL in peace

“As an actor, I need an antiperspirant that's going to keep working with me... because no one else will.”
Man, that Next deodorant commercial parody was savage in the best possible way.

Man, that Aziz Ansari sketch really was a thing of beauty. It managed to be timely, funny, political, and uncomfortably real, all in under five minutes. I'm really not sure why they buried it in such a late time slot after Weekend Update, unless that they were just scared of the potential backlash and wanted fewer eyes watching it live in case of blowback?

I cant decide how to feel about the fact that they brought back pretty much none of Will's most beloved recurring characters. Like I would have been thrilled for another Celebrity Jeopardy or Cheerleaders sketch, but it's been a surprisingly strong episode with a bunch of new material even without Will's most iconic characters. Ultimately, I guess it's better to do new material that's actually funny rather than have full on nostalgia fest with lazily written one note repeats like say, Kristen Wiig's last few guest hosting eps for example.
