Can I make an official thread of SNL? Since, quite frankly, I'm surprised we already didn't have one (given it's long run). Didn't see one on the official thread list and the rules didn't say I couldn't, so here goes. Mods, feel free to close this if there is an already existing thread or it's against the rules. smile.gif



QUOTE
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a weekly late-night 90-minute American sketch comedy/variety show based in New York City that debuted on October 11, 1975. It features a regular cast of typically up-and-coming comic actors, joined by a guest host and musical act. The show — broadcast live (or on tape delay to the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones) from Studio 8H at the GE Building in New York's Rockefeller Center — has launched careers for many major American comedy stars of the last thirty years. It was created by Canadian Lorne Michaels who, excluding seasons 6 through season 10, has produced and written for the show and remains its executive producer. SNL is one of the longest-running network programs in American television history.

from Wikipedia



Current Cast: Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Bill Hader, Darrell Hammond, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson, Kristen Wiig.

Upcoming: [10/11/2008 -- Repeat] Michael Phelps with musical guest, Lil Wayne. [10/18/2008] Josh Brolin with musical guest, Adele.

Anyone watch this show? I know it's not the best comedy sketch show around, and it can be pretty darn inconsistent at times, but it still delivers the laughs, no?

^I only started watching SNL around the time when Fey left, although, I can't say I watched every episode since then. The show is still pretty funny at times, but it can be pretty sloppy and forced sometimes. Seth Meyers is still okay at what he does, though.
