I wanted to make it end with "Rock, Country, and Chance the Rapper," but it wouldn't fit For this month, we actually know the guests before the first episode! And thus I am finally able to make use of the Druk font graphics I'd painstakingly created at the start of the season. This will be Emma Stone's third time hosting, having previously hosted shows around this time of year in 2011 and 2010. She also made a guest appearance in a Roseanne Roseannadanna tribute on the 40th Anniversary Special early last year. SNL kindly created a sizzle reel of highlights from these episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIcCG2sHSLg And just because I like it and it's nicely done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrWLxSyHo6Y Suffice to say, expect good things tonight from Stone. She's funny and wicked game for anything. Shawn Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter. His latest album, Illuminate, was released September 23rd, and the latest single, "Mercy," was released October 18th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkGVmN68ByU Like most 30-something men, I am unfamiliar with this young man, though I understand the kids these days fancy him. Listening to "Mercy" right now, I hear nothing that interests me. Ergo I stop writing. -------- John Cena is a wrestle man with muscles who does rapping and acting, and comedy. I don't follow wrassle time so that's out of my purview. He is popular with Goons though so I'm sure he'll be well-received here. The little I've seen on him acting, in the Amy Schumer film Trainwreck, was definitely funny. Check out the bonus footage from the film if you can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbhvMyusZ8 Maren Morris is a country singer who, though she's been performing and releasing albums for over a decade, only recently got signed to a major label last year after he self-titled EP became a sensation. Her fourth studio album and first major label release, Hero, was released in June, and the two lead singles, "My Church" and "80s Mercedes," were released in January and June, respectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9md97nN_SQ As far as modern pop-country is concerned, I've heard worse. These two singles are pretty old by now, so there's every chance she'll use her SNL spotlight to debut a new single. -------- Casey Affleck, better known as Ben Affleck's brother, is an actor. Nothing about him seems outstanding to me, dunno why they're giving him the Christmas show (last year hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.) Whatever. Every time I try to read about him my eyes just glaze over and I can't concentrate. Chance the Rapper is a, erm, rapper, whose latest mixtape, Coloring Book, was released in May. His latest single, "Summer Friends," was released in August. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT4wUByldo4 Like the aforementioned Morris, that's basically an eternity ago, so expect new stuff and enjoy if Chance the Rapper is your bag. -------- SNL Vintage is off for the rest of December, except the 10th. There will the annual SNL Christmas special on Wednesday, December 14th, at 9/8c, and again the following Saturday night, the 17th, 9/8c. NBC's coverage of Christmas Mass at the Vatican and New Year's Eve pre-empts repeats on the 24th and 31st, respectively. There will be a repeat on January 7th. SNL returns live on January 14th, 2017. -------- Here's a nice little piece on Vanessa Bayer, who was a Make-A-Wish recipient in 1999. quote:When Vanessa Bayer was just freshman in high school, she was diagnosed with leukemia. While the news was a shock for her and her family, Bayer says her cancer battle ultimately led her to a career in comedy. -------- By the way, longtime forums member ArtVandelay will be at tonight's LIVE show-- ArtVandelay posted:I've applied to the SNL lottery for 3 years now, and I never really expected to get tickets. Just got an email from NBC, i'm going to the December 3rd taping! ArtVandelay posted:Heading to NYC in the morning, i'll post whatever pictures i'm allowed to take. Probably won't be able to take any of the studio. To counteract, i'll take as many pictures of the screaming 16 year old girls in the standby line waiting to catch a glimpse of Shawn Mendes

My brother's a big Chance fan and he said what he's been trying to do is get every song off his album on TV this year.

Hilariously, the standby line really was full of older teens and early 20's women. They got really sad as I walked past them with my ticket.

Ugh more garbage musical guests. Chance should be at least interesting but the other two weeks bite. Cena will own.

I'm sick of this portrayal of Kellyanne Conway as a helpless foil in DJT's admin. SNL usually is on point with nailing the personalities of politicos, but they're way off the mark here. She's as culpable as Bannon for the mess we're in now. I was going to put this in the OP but I thought I'd give them a chance to correct course.

When was the last time a monologue wasn't a song, a backstage tour with the cast, or the very occasional comedian just doing his material for fifteen minutes?
