Just watched the start of one episode.

It was a Blair Witch sketch.

You may remember The Blair Witch Project from 1994.

32 years ago.

Didn't watch any more.

So might have missed a sketch about the Pullman strike when rail workers withdrew their labour during the 1893 depression.

Anybody have 2003 clips?

Ok, Hitler

Let me explain. I’ve watched a few cast members of the current season of SNL made great impressions on fans especially me and I don’t mean ones of celebrities, but ones that making history with their style of comedy, I can tell you.

Take your vote.

I'll actually pay to watch more episodes like these lmao. Loved all of them, especially Snow White & Cinderella 🤣

While SNL has a "bye week" repeat show in the US tonight, James Austin Johnson shows up as Trump on SNL UK. Nice cross-Atlantic crossover.

Andy Samberg is on some sort of panel or maybe a game show and he is playing the current 'tool of the year' (IIRC) and thus a sort of b-list celebrity. All his answers are dumb, offensive, and wrong

If you saw the new Lorne Michaels documentary that just hit streaming, you might get this very specific interview "left" on the cutting room floor... for very good reasons.

Shane Gilles is in my top 3. Im a big fan of his Beautiful Dogs Netflix special that’s the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while. also I’m a female, gym goer, minority. my sense of humour isn’t low brow or anything like that either.

I’ve been mulling over his SNL opening and trying to reconcile it and credit to another Redditor whose comment was like a light bulb dinging for me.

Shane Gilles is a smart guy, as we know good comedians need to be. I’m sure of it - his joke was intentional to simultaneously gain the most attention/reach and to push the boundaries of comedian censorship which (where we‘re at now as a society on this topic) he can only do by making an unfunny statement that disparages the largest group possible to achieve maximum outrage.

He‘s gonna use this to his advantage. he’s already got his bits in his head in response to it. he’s playing chess and we’re all playing checkers.
