I've never understood Fox's attempts to counterprogram SNL. We'll see if it does any better than ADHD (it won't).

At least it's before SNL, not during it. I'm up for (hopefully) some new Lonely Island videos.

To be fair, MadTV lasted 14 seasons. It wasn't great, but that's not a bad record.

What a great episode. Bern Your Enthusiasm was probably the best sketch of the night, but my favorite was Kevin Roberts. I love goofy poo poo like this.

Catching up on this season, watching the Tina Fey and Amy Pohler episode.

When they come for the end of Weekend Update, Amy goes to shake Colin Jost's hand but he leans in for an air kiss.

Then, literally 53 seconds later, at the actual end of Weekend Update, he leans in for another air kiss.

Looks like Jost is drinking the Knope juice, hard.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
The first couple seasons of MAD TV were amazing.

Is SNL finally admitting they've been in the tank for Clinton? It's like, they spent all summer planning to write Clinton sketches, and Sanders came along, and they had no idea what the gently caress to do.

Yes, SNL is part of the HRC establishment like anyone who has criticized Bernie on anything ever.
