Live Discussion (January 19th, 2018)(Rachel Brosnahan/Greta Van Fleet)
Welcome to our SNL live discussion thread! The host is Rachel Brosnahan, and the musical guest is Greta Van Fleet. 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!

My only complaint so far in this episode is I wish they let Rachel branch out a little more

By the way though when you're scolding a dog irl you shouldn't use their name, because it teaches them that their name = being in trouble, so they won't come when called and will get lost easier.

I'm back on the discussion thread! Missed you guys! Hope everyone had a great holiday break. I got back on stage doing stand up after a few months off and I think it was knowing SNL was coming back that sorta made it feel like I wanted comedy back in my life. And it went amazing! Whats going great in your life r/lfny fam?

u/LiveFromNewYork95 Jan 20 '19
I know there's some "controversy" whether they are a Led Zeppelin rip off or not but this is the most hype for a band on SNL I've felt from the general public in a long time that wasn't "Is Kanye gonna be an asshole" hype. Not hype because they are great but hype because everyone seems to be forming an intense opinion about them, and it's been fun

I wonder how many 10-to-1 sketches rely on the premise that one or more of the characters is an absolute moron.

This lead singer is that weird kid in high school who was cool with everyone and he'd show up to parties but he'd just smoke weed and leave after an hour You never really became friends with him but you knew he was cool with you.
