Difference is that we know Trump actually watches this poo poo so it'll get him mad and maybe a tiny percentage of it will get through to his thick skull
Pretty sure SNL killed Bannon's favor in the Trump WH with that cold open a few weeks back where he sat at the president's desk

I actually know a place a guy bought just to show his cars off to the public. He doesn't sell them, he just wanted a showroom because he had a bunch of cool cars and money.

I never got into Louis, and his standup never really grabbed me (though he killed with that monologue) but I love him as a sketch actor.

I think SNL kind of suffers from the fact that the whole cast is so young (or at least young-looking, how the hell is Keenan 38 years old) so none of them can play the depressed/bitter/creepy middle-aged man character like Louis can. The eyelash, ice cream parlor, clown, and sectional sofas sketches wouldn't have been anywhere near as good with one of the interchangeable 20-something dudes.

Extremely clean living, from what I've read. Also, it's weird, we've basically watched him grow up; he's been working for 23 years, fourteen of them on SNL.

Growing up with Kenan and Kel I always loved that on the family sitcom Kel was the wacko with Kenan as the straight man, but they switched roles for the curtain segments.

Also, nothing is funnier than watching comedians as talented as Kate McKinnon and Louis CK corpsing in the 12:55. You KNOW that whatever is coming is as terrible as it is amazing.

I just have the whole episode on repeat in my brain, even the musical guest.

I know people in here complain about the mixing, and their first number was way too relaxed, but I'm thinking the audio problem has to do with broadcast standards. Vocals and dialogue can't exceed a certain level, so they're pumped up as much as they can be, and everything else is mixed to fit it and try not to compete. Listening to the difference in level between the musical act and the sketches reminds me of the level difference between any given show and the commercials.
