I thought they were playing music from a Canadian band (*) because they were going to run away to Canada.

^{(*) I know that Win Butler and his brother are American, but the band is a Montreal thing.}

thoughts:

- Maybe Church Lady always should have been an 'Update' piece? That worked better than most Church Chat sketches.

- In my 24 years of watching this dumb show, I've never seen a plea to vote like at the end of the cold open.

- I don't care if South Park did it, I'm glad Not South Park has now done the backwards toilet gag.

- Cubs own, their cameos owned, Bill Murray owns

Great show overall, 4 out of 5 somethings.

I love they've looked through the parallel universe archives and found the best episode of the 90s/00s that never happened over here.

You already know who Dave Chappelle is. A Tribe Called Quest is a classic hip/hop group that recently re-united to record their first record in 18 years, We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service, which is also their last album. From The Verge:

quote:

When A Tribe Called Quest reunited to perform on The Tonight Show last fall, the group � Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Jarobi White, and Phife Dawg � couldn�t know what 2016 would bring. They were pioneers returned from hip-hop�s golden age, but not prophets. They couldn�t see Donald Trump taking the White House. They couldn�t see the rise of the alt-right as a significant corner of the electorate. And no one could foresee the personal tragedy the group would face: Phife Dawg�s too-soon death from diabetes.

One year later, we have President-elect Trump and an ascendent alt-right, but we also have We got it from Here� Thank You 4 Your service, ATCQ�s first album in 18 years and also its last. It�s an album that celebrates the group�s past and looks consciously towards to future. It also honors the memory of Phife Dawg himself, who gave the record its title. But most of all, it�s a powerful protest album from start to finish, whose force is only heightened by the result of this past Election Day.

There�s a clear revolutionary thread running through the entire album, as it addresses racism, sexism, the media, police violence, and the need to resist. Trump needn�t have won the election for the album to feel essential. Living in America over the last few years has lain the country�s cultural sickness bare. But an empowered Donald Trump only makes the album�s message more potent.

SNL couldn't have booked a more appropriate host and band for this, the first show of Trump Year 1.

:sigh:

I don't know who will playing... President... Trump this week, if Baldwin will be back, or what. Ugh

Tonight's Vintage is still pretty recent, though not as fresh as the past couple eps. Jennifer Lawrence with The Lumineers, from January 19 2013.

Next week: Kristen Wiig with The xx.

Yeah, the last thing I wanted to see before I went to bed was Kate McKinnon dressed as Hillary singing Hallelujah. Got me right in the feels.

And I will never get used to swole Dave Chappelle.

It was Kate McKinnon dressed as Hillary Clinton, playing piano (pretty sure she was actually playing?) and singing Hallelujah in a tribute to Leonard Cohen who wrote that song and died this week.

I want this episode to just be an hour and a half of Chappelle standup.

I'm assuming it was powerful friggin' stuff, my dad came in the room nearly in tears after it and I'm not gonna lie, I've never seen my dad cry, ever, same with my sister.

I'd say she did a drat good job and followed it up with a nice comment which I already forgot, but it made me tear up also.

"...I'll give Trump a chance. And as one of the historically disenfranchised, he owes us at least that." essentially.
