That dirty talk sketch was pretty good, but it's odd when the host is visibly more comfortable and confident in a scene than one of the performers. I don't imagine Melissa's gonna be around next season.

Less big Sean. More Cecily Strong and Sasheer.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.

She was in two sketches this week and screwed up a line in both of them. She's distractingly awkward. That sketch was hilarious anyway though.

Dear Cecily Strong,

If you can't sing, maybe don't sing on national live TV.

Dear SNL,

In an episode where you jumped off with a monologue touching on some race issues, maybe have Sasheer start the singing (especially since it sounds like she has the better voice)?

Poor lady just can't catch a break.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.

Seriously, how did this person get cast on this show?

Her whole stand-up act is impressions.

They haven't had her do any impressions on the show though.

I've wondered before if sometimes people aren't cast to fail so they can serve as a cautionary example.

On the other hand, having a rough start when you're a new cast member but slowly turning it around has been a thing since the very first new cast member (Bill Murray).

She did an unsexy bad Owen Wilson impression in the dirty talk sketch. I was confused and wondering if she was doing it terribly on purpose or if this was one of the impressions that got her on the show... in which case, :wtc:

I only enjoy sexy Owen Wilson impressions on my SNL.

A really good Owen Wilson impression will always seem like a kinda bad one

It was an okay impression, but it sounded so much like her own voice I didn't realize she was supposed to be doing an impression until she named it. She was also really mumbly in the sketch, and trying to do a deeper voice just made her quieter. The Wanda Sykes impression was the only time she was actually loud enough.

This sketch was the chance to break out she's been waiting for, and it didn't happen. Jay Pharoah showed you can do pretty well with impressions as your main thing. She just isn't ready.

She's also been a bit of a PR nightmare with the whole racist tweets thing. I'm positive Michaels will not be inviting her back.

I wouldn't be surprised if that Christoph Waltz Vintage is swapped out for Mary Tyler Moore / Elvis Costello from 1989. I sure hope it is, great music.
