As soon as I heard that Biden had passed the torch to Kamala I knew Maya Rudolph was going to have a banner year

Not as much of a gimme as Tina Fey / Sarah Palin but it'll work no question.

- Not as much of a gimme
  
  Huh. I'm not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, "wasn't she in The Good Place?"
  
  I feel so vindicated right now.

  Genuinely hilarious! Maya Rudolph was so great in The Good Place, but most of them were. What a good show.

She is a pretty lady.

- I would take her out for ice cream

  I'd make her nose bright red if you know what I mean

Glad to hear Loot is continuing. It's a nice feel good comedy.

- It's a good show. I also liked how it featured that "$295 million" horrible house from that ~~awful~~ mesmerizing wannabe Robin Leach YouTube video that made the rounds a few years ago, this one.

Nice

Yeah, but has Tyler Labine agreed to play JD Vance yet?

I love Maya, but I thought she left SNL? I remember her hosting SNL as guest on last Mother Day.

I'll wildly recommend one of the latest Kill Tony episodes with a stunning performance of Trump by Shane Gillis, and Adam Ray as ~~doctor ph~~ Joe Biden. Absolutely hilarious 👌

- Shane Gillis was so good at Trump I was forgetting it wasn't him up there

Perfect

I'd be okay if SNL never did political sketches again

-14
- Dude, they’ve been doing political sketches for close to 50 years now. Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford.
  
  53
- The amazing thing is you don't have to watch them
  
  26
- I get why they do them. They’re relevant and buzz worthy.
  
  I do agree that they aren’t anywhere close to being top tier sketches.

- alrighty

- Do you just not like them or did a political SNL sketch kill your family or something?

Saturday Night Live is still a thing?

-23
- People have been saying that since season 2.

  they will never recover from Chevy Chase's withdrawal
  
  27
- i literally just finished watching all 900 episodes. it has its ups and downs, but its still funny.
  
  weekend update is the 'humor' anchor

  ok so which episode is tops for you?

- I auditioned as a writer for SNL this year (didnt get it). The workload and ambition is insane. it's really easy to criticize until you have to produce even just the first drafts of a weekly packet, let alone redraft and get shooting script ready.

  So much work goes into just filtering out inappropriate jokes from idiots who think they're the next George Carlin.

  Oh, I wasn't saying it sucked. I just haven't heard about it much lately and I remember it from the '90s, which was a long time ago.
