SNL - 4/13/19

Thanks OP, I thought this was the week of Adam Sandler and was planning to miss it by any means necessary.

I like BTS. Their videos make Troye Sivan look John Wayne.

Why does BTS have more members than a typical boy band ?

That's normal in K-pop, R3.

Meanwhile, Cecily is looking more and more like Monica Lewinsky (I honestly thought that was Monica). Bitch needs to lay off the cake.

Monica looked skinny on a recent John Oliver.

BTO = Better

Will the tween girls storm the stage on live TV?

What about BTK?

Standby lines? Isn’t the snl audience almost all picked from a random lottery they apply for?

These K-pop groups are the absolute worst. Their music is unlistenable. Fortunately, they will never be a big thing in America, except with Asians.

I downloaded Fake Love song and video.

The last couple cold opens have been disappointing. Seth Meyers only does four shows a week unlike the other late night guys who do five so I wonder why he can't moonlight over on SNL on Fridays and help spice up the cold open.

BTS ≠ PSY

OP, from the promos, it feels like they are going to dominate the show. Plus, Emma is on record as being a big fan. I think that is why they picked her to host this episode.

She is an experienced host and won't mind sharing the spotlight with them.

Emma Stone and the Women of SNL Are BTS Super Fans

I want there to be a skit with Pete Davidson as a BTS superfan.

I prefer BLT

R3 my guess is to keep the sound "full" because they sing while doing complicated dance moves. Also, I've noticed that some of them sort of take a "break" while 2 or 3 of them keep performing.

Do they make the band stay in a BNB?

[quote]These K-pop groups are the absolute worst. Their music is unlistenable. Fortunately, they will never be a big thing in America, except with Asians.

K-pop is big all over the world nowadays, dear. You'd know if you checked what's trending in various countries (or worldwide). Yes, including America. Girl group Blackpink last week broke Youtube records with 100 million views for their latest music video in just 2 days which beat the record previously held by their fellow countrymate Psy. They're now almost double that.

Are any of the boys gay? Have nude photos?

I love Seungri of the group Big Bang. Unfortunately he recently retired from showbiz after finding himself in a sex scandal. He has a fun Office-style mockumentary series on Netflix called YG Future Strategy Office which he's adorable in.

R19 is right, R10. Blackpink is also performing at Coachella.

The video that BTS did with Halsey was just released yesterday and already has over 100 million views on YouTube. There is speculation that Halsey is going to appear with BTS on SNL tonight.

Ed Sheeran co-wrote a song for them and more English-speaking artists are clamoring to work with them.

BTS going on SNL is basically the equivalent of The Beatles going on The Ed Sullivan Show. It's a breakthrough for Korean artists in the way that The Beatles led The British Invasion for British artists in the U.S. music market.

R24 Give me a fucking break. Like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, really?

Calm down R24 before you wet yourself.

R25 is a cranky old eldergay who still plays his Judy Garland albums on vinyl and doesn't trust a microwave because he's sure it's just a fad. He also yells at clouds.

For R25:

CNN: BTS! We haven't seen boy-band fandom like this since the Beatles

If you haven't heard of BTS yet, it's time to succumb to the inevitable: The Korean boy band is taking over the world.

Their new album, "Map of the Soul: Persona," out today, is expected to demolish international sales charts. They're about to drop a new single featuring American pop star Halsey. And they'll bring down the walls of studio 8H this weekend when they appear on "Saturday Night Live."

This is One Direction big. This is Beatlemania big. And while K-pop music isn't exactly a new sensation outside of Korea, BTS and similar groups are cultivating devoted followings across the globe, elevating K-pop from a niche import to a full-blown international movement.

Pre-orders for "Map of the Soul: Persona," have surpassed 3 million copies, Big Hit, their management company, told CNN.

Yawn.

Billboard: Mattel Unveils BTS Doll Collection

R29 hates Asians while routinely calling everyone else racist.

A boy band on SNL. This is a truly dark day for society.

It may be true but part of it is just hype.

R9 supposedly there are some standby tickets available on the day of the show. I guess some people who get tickets through the lottery don't show up.

But I think most of those people waiting in line won't get in since SNL's studio is quite small anyway.

R32 it won’t be the first. I distinctly remember Back Street Boys being on there dancing with chairs.

R32 I think NSYNC appeared on SNL, too.

Nobody cares about those spazzy dancing fools with their dyed hair and colored contacts.

I hope they fry Trump and Barr tonight

The One Direction fandom was bigger and they had a lot more impact in the US than these little goblins. Plus, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik were actually hot.

No, R39. BTS and Blackpink have eclipsed those acts.

I like them but can’t deny that I get a ‘Millie vanilli ‘ vibe from them.

The members are very good looking but some are more than a little feminine.

There was a story recently some would be forced to enlist in army. Did it happen ?

Are ANY of them STRAIGHT???!

The worst thing about kpop performances is that BigHit (the label who owns every single Kpop group) gives fans a handout with 'chants' to learn and yell when they are performing. It's got a real Hitler Youth feel about it.

R41 - ALL Koreans have to enlist in the army whether they're pop stars or actors or regular guys off the street. Just like Israel.

It's more like the old Hollywood studio system where there was a lot of control of the image of the stars. The Hitler Youth comparison is a little dramatic.

R39 you haven’t notified these guys are hot ?

Noticed

If any of them were swapped out for any other young Korean guy would anyone notice?

They are mostly in their 20s.

YouTube Music:

Yes, we're still running the numbers, but we can confirm that #BoyWithLuv (ft. @Halsey) is now *officially* the most-viewed 24 hour debut in @YouTube history!! Congratulations @bts_bighit 🎉 Enjoy @nbcsnl tonight!

It was reported that BTS brought US$3.63 billion to the Korean economy each year, and that one in every thirteen foreigners who visit Korea do so because of them.[189][190] In 2018, the Hyundai Economic Research Institute listed BTS as one out of seven positive factors for the economy that year.[191] The Korea Foundation, a government affiliated organization, attributed the surge of interest in the Hallyu Movement between 2016 and 2018 largely to BTS.[192] According to the Korea Customs Service, online purchases of K-Pop items surged in popularity in 2018 due to BTS.[193] Yung Duk Kim, vice president and chief operating officer of KOCCA, stated K-pop has “skyrocketed” since BTS' popularity surged and it has created jobs not only for BTS and their team but other idols as well.[194]

Their chart success and popularity in numerous countries has prompted many Western media outlets to nickname them as 'the biggest boyband in the world'.[195][196] In 2018 they ranked on the Global Artist Chart, second to only Drake. It was the first time any Korean musician made the list.[197] BTS, along with Ariana Grande and Drake, boosted global music sales to $19 billion in 2018. Such profit had not been seen since 2006 before digital purchases gained momentum.[198]

According to the National Gugak Center, the organization had to expand the amount of Korean instrument sounds available as demand increased from Korean and foreign producers alike after "Idol".[199] According to Herald Corporation, idol groups have begun changing the themes of their lyrics from love stories to words such as "looking for myself" which is an influence and reflection of the "Love Yourself" era BTS had from 2017-2018 and the speech RM gave at the United Nations.[200]

Various artists have cited BTS as an influence, such as (G)I-dle,[201] D-Crunch's Hyunho,[202] The Boyz' Younghoon,[203] SF9's Zuho,[204] Euna Kim,[205] Golden Child's Jaehyun,[206] Wanna One,[207] IN2IT,[208] Park Ji-hoon,[209] Kim Dong-han,[210][211] Seven O'Clock,[212] Hyeongseop X Euiwoong,[213] Noir,[214] Victon's Sejun,[215] and Loona.[216]

The "BTS Effect" was termed by various news outlets. They used it whenever companies profited from BTS' influence, such as when the banking firm KB installment savings accounts increased six times compared to the prior year after signing a contract with BTS and how after BTS topped the Billboard 200 stock prices of entertainment companies in South Korea shot up for five days afterwards.[217][218][219] It was also observed when it was reported all companies tied to BTS, such as Netmarble, NetMark, Soribada, Key Shares, GMP, and Diffie, had their stocks raise various amounts.[220]

When their partnership with Mattel was announced in 2019, the company's stocks raised more than 8% within a day.[221] According to the IFPI, BTS were the second best selling artists worldwide in terms of physical, digital, and streaming platforms, coming second only to Drake.[197] The IFPI had also reported that BTS had the second and third best selling albums worldwide in 2018 with Love Yourself: Answer and Love Yourself: Tear, respectively.[222]

What does BTS stand for?

I mean the initials not their views on life.

R51 But their music sucks and they all look the same, androgynous bores. Now please fuck off back to Koreatown

R52 BTS (Hangul: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed by Big Hit Entertainment in 2013. The name became a backronym for Beyond the Scene in July 2017.

I started a thread on them a long time ago

I was ignored.

R53 If you hate Asians so much (and you do) why don't YOU fuck off back to whatever shithole you come from instead of trolling this thread with your racist shit?

I bet if asked who has influenced them they will say Michael Jackson.

New SNL promo.

#BTSxSNL is almost here!

Twitter is going crazy. There are going to be people from all around the world watching SNL tonight.

This is a gay male discussion board. Number 1 rule is good looks and hotness overrides everything. You must be a really hateful racist.

Is only one member allowed to have his natural hair color ?

'No, [R39]. BTS and Blackpink have eclipsed those acts. '

Hmm no. BTS and Blackpink have not eclipsed 1d. I don't see them selling out stadiums on their own or having their first four albums debut at number one on the Billboard charts.

R61 What has One Direction done lately?

R60 no they change all the time. In this interview with Fallon they mostly had their "natural" hair color.

R56 I don't hate asians, I hate the retarded asian fan fuck posting endless shit on this site about a shitty as fuck twenty years too late barely talented all look the same shit house band. AND i want said stan to fuck off to Koreatown sites to post their obsession

R64 they are on SNL tonight. This is an SNL thread. That is why we are discussing them.

R52, obviously they split up in 2015 but they still hold the sales record for boybands for the US. BTS have been spazzing around since 2012 with barely any success. 1d were successful straight out of the box, with their first album in 2011 debuting at 1 in the US.

BTS are interchangeable. I can just about pick out Jungkook and Jimin and the rest are fug as fuck. When you compare them to the exquisite beauties that were 18 year old Harry Styles and 19 year old Zayn in 2012, they are nowhere. Plus, Harry was British and funny. Only one of the BTS boys can speak fluent English.

R64 believes Koreans should stay in Koreatown. No doubt he also believes blacks should stay in their ghettos as well. How "progressive" of him with his attempts at forced segregation.

Again, if you don't like what's being discussed in this thread, fuck off and haunt another one. Bye, bitch!

There is only ONE decent looking K Popper and that is Kai from Exo. The rest are confirmed FUG, especially FUGKOOK.

FUGKOOK even made it into the Urban Dictionary. such are Jungkook's levels of ugliness.

No, R57, that's what they'll say if asked who fucked them.

That is so mean. I hope his paycheck makes him feel better.

BTS arriving at LAX:

[quote]K-pop is big all over the world nowadays, dear.

No they're not. Their albums and songs flop in the US. Their music is a joke. Their YouTube views are from their fan armies in Asia, who sit on their computers 24/7 trying to boost their views so they can break view records, as if that actually means something.

Blackpink was horrible at Coachella. They can't sing to save their lives.

1D couldn’t even muster one lousy Grammy nomination. Still their success is in the past. BTS is now. Watch the video for Fake Love. I dare you.

[quote]Hmm no. BTS and Blackpink have not eclipsed 1d. I don't see them selling out stadiums on their own or having their first four albums debut at number one on the Billboard charts.

That's incorrect. They've sold out stadium dates in England, France, and here in the US.

R73, what kind of pussies are these hoes? Masks for arriving in LA? Shades of ugly pedo Michael Jackson there.

I assume the masks are cultural. I've seen many Asian people wear them.

1d did two huge stadium tours in 2014 and 2015, selling out 80k stadiums across the world. BTS are nowhere near that level. A British group is always going to be more popular than a Korean group in Europe and the US. These little hoes don't even sing in English, just the occasional line.

Love Yourself: Speak Yourself

Dohhhhhhhhhhh

Illiterate hoes. But Jimin is cute and definitely gay.

it's a really dumb culture. All this fuss about who is the 'maknae' of the band, or youngest. Harry Styles was the youngest in 1d and nobody mentioned it.

R78 It's not "cultural". In Asian countries, if you don't want to get sick, you wear a mask in public. Or if you are sick and don't want to infect others, you wear a mask. These guys need to perform so the last thing they need is to get sick.

I should have worn a mask like them when I last flew to New Zealand. I had bronchitis and a nonstop cough for almost six fucking months because of some bug I picked up on the plane over there.

Masks don't stop viruses creeping in, how primitive are these hoes? Much prefer the muscular delights of One Direction to these frail queens.

Are they clones? Seriously asking.

R83 Well then I suppose they should lick escalator rails then!

BTS' last album sold 135,000 album-equivalent units becoming BTS' highest-charting album in the US

That's tragic. 1d used to sell many times this. Even Shawn Mendes sells more than this.

Required this evening on SNL. One game show skit. One talk show skit. One "odd social behavior" skit. One gay skit. Done.

Yep, Harry Styles sold 270k copies in the US in his first week on the charts, and that was as a soloist. The 1d albums sold 5m worldwide.

There's only one who can speak fluent English, so they're going to struggle. Harry Styles HOSTED the Late Late Show when Corden was at the hospital with his wife.

R86 is still living in a vinyl world. It's all about streaming in 2019, baby! Get with the times, grandpa!

1d streamed well too and actually still do.

The 135k INCLUDES streaming. They sold 100k pure and 35k in streaming.

why they keep makin her host

all her shows have been duds

weird

guess lorne, uh, likes her.....

Do we have a 1Dbot ? Did no one tell him they broke up ? Does he wonder after three or four years badly tattooed Harry hasn’t released new music ?

[quote] Masks for arriving in LA? Shades of ugly pedo Michael Jackson there.

Well, Michael loved his ratty Korean wigs.

The real money these days is in concerts. Not album sales. That's why old timers like the Rolling Stones do concert tours instead of putting out albums.

What’s a BTS?

Bottom Tracking System

R96, you are correct, but you can't explain this to people stuck in the past.

Did MJ wear masks ? I thought his ‘kids’ did to cover up they were whiter than Doris Day.

I have IBS, which is similar to BTS' music.

My fave members are Sum Ting Wong, Ho Lee Fuk, and Me Cum So!

My besties are coming over to watch tonight's show! Mom let us stay up late since we took cat nips! I mean naps!

Harry sold 270k pure sales his first week of sales in the US ON HIS OWN. The only thing BlackStink have got is youtube views. Comparing them to 1d is absolutely ridiculous.

So why do you keep bringing up One Direction, R104?

Hilarious that FUGKOOK made its way into the Urban Dictionary. Nobody likes these hoes.

[quote] r48 If any of them were swapped out for any other young Korean guy would anyone notice?

Oh, MARY! That is as bad as saying 'all black people look alike'

I wish they were hoes.

R106 has posted 18 times (and counting) on this thread to tell us how much he doesn't care about the topic of this thread.

R105, because you foolishly said Fug TS and Blackstink had surpassed 1d and thus activated the Spaz Troll.

At least the 1dead boys were easy to tell apart. Fug twinky Louis, fat Niall, hot Harry with green eyes, hot Zayn with super long eyelashes, hot Liam with the abs.

Oh I forgot about him wearing surgical masks. Often at doctor’s offices and sometimes at work people wear them.

I like Niall because he hasn’t got any dumb tats.

Niall got so fat though.

R110 You just admitted you're the Spaz Troll. Good to know.

And you keep bringing up One Direction when nobody else had. I know you wank to the Harry Styles poster above your bed each night but One Direction disbanded long ago. Move on.

You need to admit that BTS are nowhere near as successful as 1d were (and still could be) in the US. They are not even as successful as SOLO HARRY STYLES and they are INTERCHANGEABLE and UGLY.

So for once we will not be focusing on the crap writing but the two three minute music sets?

Melissa Villasenor has gay voice.

Why do they make all of the K Pop boys look like teenage girls? Why would girls be attracted to femme guys?

So much discussion and the show hasn't even aired yet.

This boy band's much more sensitive than American boy bands are. From what I gather they talk a lot about mental health and self love... that type of stuff. I think this makes them more emotionally accessible to younger fans that are more aware of those issues. Visually they're interesting because they've got the colored hair, make up, and lip gloss, but when you see them perform there's a strength and athleticism that contrasts with all of that.

They are THE ugliest motherfuckin boy band I have EVER seen. BARF.

JFC I feel as if I've wandered into a Tiger Beat forum. Showcasing this FTM group, SNL is about to jump the shark for the umpteenth time. Another nail in the coffin, Lorne. Another nail in the coffin.

This is a link to a live stream of SNL but I think it is only going to work for people who live outside of the U.S.

are they off next week I imagine? or several weeks?

those lazy fuckers

[quote]Another nail in the coffin, Lorne. Another nail in the coffin.

This phrase has existed since the show started and every time it's uttered you can tell the user thinks their a genius.

r123 the link's working here in CA.

And we're off!

Lori Loughlin impression sounds exactly like every other Kat Mc impression.

Kate sucks as Lori Loughlin.

Ugh, another writer popping in a sketch.

R135, I'm genius enough to know the proper use of THEY'RE VS their. Fucking illiterate.

Will Kate leave SNL to do the Elizabeth Holmes Hulu show?

R131 is for R125.

Kate sucks at everything.

[quote]Ugh, another writer popping in a sketch.

You the guy who was bitching about Bowen Yang? Damn, do care so much about something so insignificant...

Davidson can't do impersonations.

Keaton!

lol there are two other threads for tonight's episode

That was pointless.

Sucked. Pete sounds like he's dubbing a Japanese Godzilla film.

Does everyone have their eyeballs superglued to their respective cue cards as usual? Do the actors ever actually look at one another even once during a skit?

Who played Assange?

Yeah, that wasn't the strongest execution of that idea. I did like Keaton's energy, but he could have bothered to put on an Australian accent or something.

Michael Keaton

omfg that was HORRIBLE

NONE OF THE IMPRESSIONS in the opener were any good

Michael Keaton, R142.

BTS? I guess SNL are now trying to attract teenyboppers? Doesn't Lorne realize teens don't watch SNL?

[quote]Doesn't Lorne realize teens don't watch SNL?

They're tuning in for this.

Who designed Emma's hideous top?

Kenan, how long does it take you to shave around your sideburns?

Is Emma allowed out in direct sunlight? Girl is pale!

she looks like a much more youthful Lohan

without the drug and skin damage

Ugh Muppet Voice's impersonations suck half the time.

[quote]Who designed Emma's hideous top?

Colleen Atwood.

the posters chick returns

Who decided that Pete will play Avenatti? Doesn't really work. And Kate as Becky didn't either.

wonder if they got a big fat lech behind em like bak st boys and that other group had????

Pete already heavily featured tonight

ewwwww Davidson sux again and again and again.....why he on?

Has beck gained weight?

so far, bad writing, reckon they dint dig emma….sad

they alwys treat her like a bimbo.....why not

emma likes pete, dat why he on too am much

*paging John Mulaney*

this skit is dumb too

THIS. IS. BAD.

how could emma be in such a retarded sketch???

It's funny if your buzzed

this reminds me of that old paris hilton burger ad

Has SNL become the Pete Davidson Show?

Emma’s Oscar should be revoked based on her voice alone in that sketch

i like this clothes commercial

R166 She did the same sketch a couple of years back when she hosted.

the clothes commercial only good thing so far

Kenan needs elocution lessons, he's impossible to understand. And he might want to think about studying his lines. Lazy. Sloppy.

Shawn presents hole next week!

they give her so much dumb chick stuff

how rude

oh

Pete is on so much because the young BTS fans know him from when he was with Ariana.

memo:

if don't suk the writers

they make u do dumb bitch skits...

I liked the clothes sketch as well. Didn't care much for the poster one. That wasn't a character that needed resurrecting at all.

Why do I always see DL fave Lindsay Lohan when I see Emma Stone?

They're finally doing The View!

AAHHHHHH A View sketch!!!!!

omg the view next lol

The View has possibilities.

Kenan is overrated as fuck.

Keeping my expectations for the view sketch low, but I hope they don't dissapoint!

They won't go after MEghan, she has Lorne's protection

THE VIEW!

Leslie nails Whoopi's voice!!! her best impression yet

Leslie read just as well as Whoopi lolz

Leslie's impersonation is lazy,

They're going after Meghan!

princess of Arizona hahaha yes Aidy

Melissa Villasenor needs to be fired along with Leslie and Pete.

Kate as Joy is an abomination

Princess of Arizona!

Meghan finally got her split screen.

Princess of Arizona bahahahaha

yay amy

yay

Meghan get's her split screen!

Woah, they went there!

No Sunny?

Aidy is spot on

Kate looks like Twink Caplin here

[Quote] Leslie's impersonation is lazy,

So is Whoopi sooo...

omg they got emmma playin a dumb fuk in ev sketch...

Kate CANNOT do Joy omfg what an awful choice

I thought Lorne would never make fun of McCain's daughter.

Leslie and Aidy are the only ones carrying this sketch they are doing great

Fresh Armisen set the Joy bar too high. Kate fails.

isn't Aidy from Arizona too?

Fred Armisen did a better Joy Behar impersonation. Kate's impersonation sucks.

How did this skunt win an Oscar????

*Fred Armisen

They really should have gotten Fred for Joy, he was on Seth Meyers this week so he was in town.

R210 Yes, she is.

geez they let the b team write this weeks show.

flippin to hart 2 hart....

Joy takes off her earrings, lol. At least they acknowledge what The View refuses to acknowledge. Joy and Meghan can't stand each other.

The cold open was horrendous and so was Emma’s monologue.

Why are they giving Muppet Voice so much screentime? This sketch sucks.

Nope to umm whatever this is..

emma smokes cigs

fuck her

What is this mess?

I remember when SNL swept Melissa Villasenor's racist tweets scandal under the rug.

Emma Stone has such a trailer trash face.

Is Cecily pregnant?..she kept rubbing her belly during the view sketch

Maybe she's out the door at the end of the season, R219. The last show of the season usually highlights the ones Lorne's kicking to the curb. Maybe he's giving her a headstart.

[quote]What is this mess?

Melissa probably fucked Che or Jost to get this sketch on air.

Abby Huntsman is pregnant.

This is awful so far.

I cannot believe Pete Davidson’s black eyebags.

R225, Abby (The View) is pregnant with twins.

Leslie about to stink up another sketch.

Love how Cecily out-does Emma in this bit.

These is like red skelton sketches from the sixtys...

Okay. I don't watch the view

SHIT

WORST SHOW OF THE YEAR

OF THE DECADE

Attention to detail

[quote]Why are they giving Muppet Voice so much screentime? This sketch sucks.

Because the writers from SNL read DL and know how much the trolls here hate Melissa! So there!

Aidy as McCain needs to happen weekly.

Why do you guys keep watching this shit? For the communal TV experience? Tradition?

So , are they hoping millennials are gonna sit through this mess just to wait for BTS?!

A bunch of skeletal ladyboys who look mid transition.

These sketches are like the fever dreams of a demented Lorne Michaels

She even did the squint, R238. I like Aidy's impressions because she's spot-on but her impressions never seem to be mean spirited.

dam rite, LOL

The kpop groups never sing live, so hopefully some cringey lipsynching is to come!

Whoop and Joy have “complained” that SNL casts men to impersonate them so they should be pleased that bio women impersonated them tonight.

Is that a girl?

R239 it's hit and miss by design. When it's good, it's great.

The only way they can save this show is if they do a sketch with Beck Bennett in his underwear.

R236 Thanks for the context. I was sure it was referencing something. That was such a strange sketch.

Emma dressed again like an 80s office worker.

Thanks, R236. So if you don’t know this band Klymaxx (like me) you have no idea what that sketch was about. Why do they always do this?

Is this Engrish?

Was Emma smoking a cigarette? I wonder if it was a real considering she said she had asthma.

Also, did Emma's performance or appearance do anything to strengthen many beliefs that she's a dyke?

this group deserves a lampoon sketch from the show. like NOW

I don’t understand.

ghost of Lou Perleman giggles ….

lip syncing so obvious

How can anyone be into this?

Little lip-syncing bitches.

Why do they need 6 of em to sound like lance bass

Hope Lorne was paid a lot to have that shit group on.

Androgynous Asian twink is in right now, r260!

These assholes actually believe their own hype. They'll be working at a car wash in two years.

Sorry JPOP > KPOP always and forever... Fuck this shit. I cried when KPOP became more popular than JPOP in America.

R263 Who with? Not with gay men

All of the real singers and groups that they can showcase, and they come up with that?

What is this shit

Also they are awful dancers

They.were.horrible.

Does anyone watch AP Bio? I tried once for like 5 minutes and couldn't.

Fashion Coward was acceptable. No better than that.

Aidy was the best by far in The View sketch, which should have gone longer and been meaner and more biting. Kate was a terrible Joy — she was the worst of the group.

Another awful sketch with Emma and Melissa.

With all the hype, I thought they would be better.

BTS is like a wet dream Bryan Singer would have after watching anime while eating too much Asian food.

Is K-Pop generally like synchronized swimming on land with microphones?

What WAS that? Korean rapping/bubblegum pop?

yes, obviously groups now pay to be on snl, cause they aint had no good ones since 1999

That song is pleasant. Certainly better than trap music garbage on the charts.

🙋🏻‍♂️ I do, r270. It took me a couple episodes to get into it, but now I love it!

BFD.

Jost has to go for a cheap BTS shout-out in order to get some applause.

That must be it, r276. I can’t figure it out

Ugh, Trump's so fucking stupid.

Yay che and his 'I know I not good enuf to be here....but hey I is' smile...

R270, I watch AP Bio. It’s something you have to watch for a couple episodes to appreciate the style and vibe. I think it’s really funny. It’s dry and warped and ridiculous and satirical and insane.

Ratings are terrible, because it’s something better suited for cable or streaming. There’s no renewal coming.

R283 is a comedic genius.

[quote]So , are they hoping millennials are gonna sit through this mess just to wait for BTS?!

Millennials?! This boy band 'music' is pure teenybop garbage.

They paid to be on the show !!!!

I think there’s a chance that 1 of the 7 guys in BTS is straight.

Did Che just mispronounce clitoris? Lolz

So the Korean group with pink and green hair is favorite of Emma Stone and that’s why they are there?

Josh and Che are both awful. They just basically read cue cards and smirk and giggle. Che's pronunciation of the the English language is almost as bad as Kenan's.

u got it

Thought it was just me. Che alwys sounds like he has a speech impediment....

BtS proved yet again that they are a prancing troop of transqueens.

I literally know three straight couples exactly like this

"Is that how you think I talk!?" Lol

[quote]Did Che just mispronounce clitoris? Lolz

Is that a real problem, your moronic 'president' mispronounces every other word and can barely string together a coherent sentence.

he aint paid to be on snl as a news person bb

R295 I was just thinking the same thing

Is BTS the house band for NAMBLA?

Just cut Weekend Update. So lame.

Only POP I like is a TOOTSIE POP!

The Influencer Couple is amusing

Their “dancing” was terrible. Not in synch at all.

I've enjoyed the couple both times they have been on WU. It's especially good for Mikey.

R296 Right, let's make it about Trump. LOL.

[quote]The Influencer Couple is amusing

They are 100% spot on, like every other asshole flyover hipster couple in Williamsburg.

I’m so freaked out by the bts fangirls that have come in from nowhere and taken over this thread . It’s like that one rami malek fangirl who infested this site during the Oscars and then disappeared swiftly afterwards. Creepy.

Jost seems amused by the awfulness of what he's delivering and Che seems put out by even having to be there, why haven't these two been given their walking papers?

why did that turd poster have to bring up assfart trump??

omg all stone can play is obnoxious bitches

Miss Emma needs a sammie

[quote]why did that turd poster have to bring up assfart trump??

Did I hurt your whittle feelings Amerikan?

Grow up. Che mispronouncing words, or possibly have a speech impediment, is such fucking problem? Suck it little boy.

R312 he's hired to speak for a living you fucking idiot.

whuts her face good as the queen

1dead > Trans BTS

There happy DL, the Mulaney episode will repeat next week.

God I hate James Corden

James Corden is really annoying irl

R312 is triggered!

he picked out of many to be in Cats...hun

she has a tony , do u?

Charlize in that commercial is gorgeous

I still enjoy Weekend Update a lot, and even more when the rest of the show is this bad.

I looooooooove jost.

I know, R307. It blew in here like a hurricane and disappeared just as suddenly. Bizarre.

Anyone seeing the guy in these Audi commercials? He's cute.

Emma knows its a flop shit show, you can tell by the glint in her eye

They’re trying to rap. LOL

[quote][R312] he's hired to speak for a living you fucking idiot.

No, YOU ARE the idiot, you bloody juvenile twat. I recall an Amerikan female comedian who actually had cerebral palsy! She sure didn't speak clearly, yet was funny.

Triggered R319? No R313 is triggered, the prissy little douchebag is arguing with me because I mentioned Trump.

You both need to take your meds.

BTS sucks.

I had to mute it asap

There’s a feeling watching these kids perform that like, if they screw up, they’ll be taken out back and shot. And then replaced swiftly and no one is the wiser.

All of the tween girls and gay boys who are drooling and screaming over these "guys" are going to be so embarrassed when they look back on this time in their lives.

take ur meds anti americano......

( yeah, she's triggered )

Fuck off back to your shithole country, R329. "Amerikan?" Fucking bitter and envious loser.

Merriam-Webster says Michael Che’s pronunciation of clitoris is acceptable.

I don’t understand.

ya jus know emma is bouncing like a kite backstage to her fave kpop band......PLOP

Can We Stop Pretending K-Pop is Popular?

Ever wonder why the best pop music comes out of the US and Great Britain? Every other country in the world copies pop music form those two countries.

The Japanese in particular are obsessed with American rock and pop music.

Jesus Christ, they're arrogant little assholes.

lip synkers drop the fake mic u turd heads

Gay boys drooling over this? Nah. It’s not realistic.gif

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that BTS is popular with gay boys. This is not eye — or ear — candy.

Still, they’re not as ridiculous as the idiots on here losing their shit on here about how bad they are.

People saying these ladyboys are more popular and successful than 1d! Ridiculous. They all weigh about 110 lbs.

gay porn lady

goood

Those BTS skits were hilarious!

FUGKOOK = 🤢

JIMIN = ₩

Yo, I think the younger one is actually a gay porn star. I forget the name.

I half expected to see pete in the music numbers, to show its comedic valuse

why are there double the amount of replies this week as normal so far? It seems BTS has led to more SNL thread activity here

R352 yes he is

whts the subliminal meaning of her in the gay porn sketch???

BTS is a Generation Z special, not for Millennials

Lorne not fond of gay porn....

Lube is funny because that’s what icky gays use for icky gay sex

Wondering if this sketch was written by Julio.

R354 It's totally due to BTS. They were the main subject of conversation for the first half of this thread. We reached over 100 replies long before the episode was even on.

The Diedre the gay porn lady skit was the best of the night.

Beck was really hot in the gay porn sketch. I'd take his meal voucher.

BTS is easy to hate for internet trolls. Do you understand the concept of a guilty pleasure ? I enjoy watching them and I heard they are legal.

I like Aidy but she is too sweet to play that cunt from The View. I like Leslie also she looked like Whoppi but she didn’t get the character right.

Google alerts, r354

[quote]Wondering if this sketch was written by Julio.

Most likely, right? Either him or Bowen Yang. Possibly both. Women also watch gay porn.

Who were those two guys in the gay porn sketch?

The pacing feels like Julio. He wrote the Well for Boys for Emma Stone, too.

Once again Lorne encourages not memorizing lines and sometimes scripts are being changed at last minute.

im embarrassed to say I liked LaLa after seeing stone's hideous showing 2nite.

This wine sketch sucks.

this sketch is awful

Indeed, emma must have brought in her own writers, the show not even up to the lowest of SNL standards.

Kenan is the only one who ever seems to find these skits funny.

PLEASE DONT LET THIS BITCH HOST AGAIN

R370, I loved LaLa Land. The writers did Emma Stone ZERO favors. This mess wasn’t her fault.

the best line of the night for me was Aidy with the "Princess of Arizona" line. I wonder if Meghan will find her impersonation funny or she'll be offended. I'm hoping she's offended

R340 that was a good read. Makes a lot of sense.

Emma's too cheap to bring in writers.

Sketches are shit for the most part but Emma Stone is made for this. I only liked her in Easy A

Is Emma gonna hug all of BTS or just the same guy 7 times?

the turquoise haired BTS guy is cute but the rest no.

I don't like twinks anyway. Not sure why so many teen girls like those kind of boys

ewww her methy plea to watch the girl power mess was tacky and embarrassing..

They are non-threatening.

The BTS guys wanna hug Alex Moffat. Smart!

The younger gay porn star was Ty Mitchell.

Because they're non-threatening, R382. Think baby faced Leo in Titanic.

how was this woman in Oscar land for any thing????

Yeah, I noticed that, too, R385. Cute.

Why is Keaton seemingly addicted to chewing gum, open-mouthed while on camera?

He’s now been doing this for years. Red carpets, interviews, cameos. There he is smacking his mouth.

It makes me want to scream.

Emma is very charming and deserved her Oscar. I have been defending BTS all thread but the 2nd song sucked.

Maybe he quit smoking.

This whole show was a bloody mess. I only laughed at Aidy’s Megan Mc Cain. Emma didn’t bring it, sorry.

The View was the best sketch.

The Guardian struggled with the new 26 min long BTS 'album'.

Aidy and Leslie did well tonight

Kate really BOMBED

he luv ….meth

Keaton woulda been hella better hostess than fug emma

bts will be 'who'? in a year or so......

Ew Fugkook had turquoise hair.

im flabbergasted BTS would ever be promoted....theyr horrid. maybe some billionaire fuks one of them,,,,,unreal

So many random wtf moments....Keaton randomly showing up in the cold open. That weird Klymaxx imitation video - never heard of them and had no idea what it was supposed to be. Those two mystery guys in the gay porn sketch (who WERE they?)

R402 see R386.

yes odd they had 2 non snl actors in that sketch.....behind the scenes messiness would have been more good than the show

Keaton was the biggest star power stone could cajole onto the show???

dumb(o)

Why did Lorne actually use two porn actors to be in a sketch about porn? Did Julio have anything to do with that?

I bet the rehearsals were better. I tuned in for about 20 mins before the first music performance then switched the channel.

oh lorne is so gay friendly ya know o yea....

wow all connected to the show must have puked when they saw the results.

one of the worst in memory

at least emma was used less than other disasters (jim carrey)

Michael Keaton looks great!

Maybe Cecily Strong has a colostomy bag. Maybe that's why she has looked pregnant every other month but just every other month for the last 7 years.

What's up with all the hatred on Emma Stone here? I understand that DL tends to be vile with women in general, but the hatred on the SNL female cast is just ridiculous.

R406 So both those two guys were actual porn actors? And why? Where did that idea come from? So weird.

And who’s ‘Julio’?

she was the worst host ive seen in long time, regardess of her sex.....

R412, I suppose you didn't notice the comments about Kyle, Pete, and Kenan.

I will be a fan of Emma forever. Some people just like hating things. I have an exfriend who I told to just tell me things he liked. It would save a lot of time.

The bigger question is why did she agree to play mostly sketches in which she is shown to be a dumb bunny?

I feel her range is rather limited, doesn't matter what her sex is really, sir

And R4 needs to lay off the coke.

The host is really fucked if the writers don't like them, or if the good writers are off that week....

omg m Lewinsky posts here...

Isn't Emma dating one of the writers?

she was up to host next but emma beat her out....

This is why pop music needs Gaga, Madonna, and Bey to come through.

yes and yes, but not bey plzzzzz

Aidy looked very cute in the blonde wig as Meghan McCain. They did a nice makeup job on her too. I thought the show was really pretty bad; Lorne Michaels has for years seemed to be unable to tell what good comedy is. The writers John Mulaney had a while back were good, though. This was a big disappointment though. BTS had some good moves, but maybe they should be subtitled like when you see operas at the Met? or like a foreign movie, because they could have been singing about sponge baths for multi-national penguins and who would know unless you spoke Korean?

the internet is ripping them new assholes

embarrassing performance

Julio is SNL writer Julio Torres.

you can tell how low the show has sunk, with the advent of canned laughter the last yr or 2

omg whts the standard for picking writers???

I've read that most of the boys in this truly awful group have had plastic surgery to make their features more " pleasing ". It is starting a surge of Male facial plastic surgery in Japan and Korea.

"As the Princess of Arizona..." was the only funny line.

How many writers does this shitshow have?

R430, they've all had that blephoraplasty to make their eyes look bigger and most have lip filler.

I'll be shot here, but I thought Emma Stone did the best possible with what she was given, which wasn't much.

Pete Davidson is easily the worst comic actor in the SNL's long history. And he just gets worse and worse with each season. HIs only expression is a goofy smile.

The View was hilarious. Some of these skits are more awkward than a funny awkward. Rarely catch the show these days and its usually a back and forth between another show or Netflix/Youtube. They need some older, more seasoned comic people.

why dint they give her better writing? is she a grouch? wtf?

agree bout pete, odd how he not fired long ago.....who ya know not what ya know?

hee hee Maybe the producers gnaw on him......

Possibly, ive heard of worse reasons for a dud staying on the show...

Ever notice the first seconds of each show starts off with the same sound bite of laughter over a show that hasn't even begun yet?

The best ever SNL was the one that was simultaneously broadcast on both coasts. Harry Styles sang his first solo single live.

Jesus Emma Stone is painfully unfunny. Who is selling her as a comedienne? For someone who worships Gilda she's atrocious.

The sketch where she was holding the beer and burger was perhaps the worst moment in the history of the show.

R440, you do not live on the West Coast do you?

I just read through that article at R441! It's actually kind of creepy how manufactured this whole group is. I have nothing against them, and enjoy their enthusiasm, but... I don't know, there's obviously a dark underside to it all. But plastic surgery is nothing new in pop music.

What's really disturbing is this white British guy who blew loads of cash to look like one of the members. Sad thing is he wasn't unattractive originally...

r444 types frau

How was the View sketch?

Watch it down below:

I'm still shocked at how quickly a poster upthread recognized the gay porn sketch actor as an actual gay porn actor lol

Not hating. Quite impressed actually.

[quote]Sketches are shit for the most part but Emma Stone is made for this. I only liked her in Easy A

That was her only good performance. That and Mean Girls. She’s been coasting ever since.

this BTS member wants to be female

R449 Emma Stone was not in Mean Girls

[quote]That was her only good performance. That and Mean Girls. She’s been coasting ever since.

I didn’t know Emma drank.

Link please, R426. All I see is people fawning over their "historic" performance.

I liked Emma. Only angry mob/internet didn’t like her performance in La La Land. Not liking her in The Favorite is like not liking Anne Baxter in All About Eve and you deserve to be bitch slapped.

R456 Fuck all humans liked 'La La Land' fullstop, let alone the sqeaking weak shit crap Emma 'performed' in the shit flick

No Aidy, you're the princess of Arizona!

And our hearts ❤

#EmmyforAidy

It was funny but I don’t think it captured that cunt’s true evil nature.

Meghan is a cute girl, Aidy played her cute and spoiled. It was fun. Leslie Jones was great as Whoopie. They captured the vibe of The View - I think we'll see them return to this again.

Did you like Aidy’s romantic arc on Girls?

Aidy entered Girls as it was losing steam, but she was pleasant on the show. I remember her being cute with Ray, right?

Aidy always steals the show! Love her in this bit.

What kind of name is Aidy ffs.

Her full name is Aidan.

She said her parents named her and her sister after the current events during the year they were born. She was born in 1987 and her sister Haa (Hands Across America) was born in 1986.

Is there even one drop of testosterone in any of these pastel pukes?

I like that the young ladies in gents in KPop are so hi-energy, sugar sweet sassy and superficial. I couldn't listen to it for more than a song or to but a video here and there is a refreshing brain zap of positivity.

As for the plastic surgery, every middle class or above teenager, male or female, with looks below a "7", get radical facial reconstruction to look like Asian Ken and Barbie. And the surgery is good!

The surgery is excellent. I'm thinking of becoming Korean myself.

agree with above posts where they say stone's poster girl sketch was the worst thing In tv history

that she approved and appeared in it, speaks volumes bout her moronic sense of comedy.

I heard the bois went #2 in the alley...

Korea is like the Middle Ages.

Thank you R463. The guy with the MAGA hat at the dinner table was the best!

[quote]omg whts the standard for picking writers???

Some of the writers are improv performers from Chicago, LA, and NY. Stand up comedians also sometimes get hired to write for SNL.

I didn't see the show, but if the clip of the View skit thread posted upthread was the "highlight" of the show- it was one of the worst ever.

The View skit has potential, though. That tarded show needs lampooned to filth. But they need better writing and the courage to really 'go there'.

I think Kate should have played Meghan and Aidy should have played Joy.

No tops in the group. NEXT

[quote] This is a gay male discussion board

Um, no, R59, this is a GAY discussion board. It is not a MALE gay discussion board, you sexist pig.

Cheap immitation of pop and r and b music infused with trans looking shemales. Most do not speak English and if they lived here they will be working in a Korean store.

Or if they fully transition, R478, they'll be working at a nail salon.

BTS is the second season of The Facts of Life waiting to happen.

LOL i got some gossip during one of the sketches a HUGE wet spot appeared on emma's backside. She literally peed herself.

The manufactured hype around this performance act isn't translating to TV ratings. Lowest viewed episode of the season.

i liked "The Actress" sketch.

Well at least all the BTS fans will fuck off now, for the biggest group in the world?...... the ratings reflect they are nothing

R466, so Aidy was named after the AIDS virus in 1987? What the actual fuck?

No silly R485. Meghan McCain was named after a little girl who fell in a well or something. Her sister's name is Hands Across America.

The current cast. If you were you to produce the show, who would you keep and who would you let go?

Beck Bennett / Aidy Bryant / Michael Che / Pete Davidson / Mikey Day / Heidi Gardner / Leslie Jones / Colin Jost / Kate McKinnon / Alex Moffat / Kyle Mooney / Ego Nwodim / Chris Redd / Cecily Strong / Kenan Thompson / Melissa Villaseñor

That Korean group was lame and creepy. I'm guessing they have different hairstyles so as to tell them apart? Which, is opposite of that 1 Direction boyband, whose members all had the same stupid haircut.

[quote]Beck Bennett / Aidy Bryant / Michael Che / Pete Davidson / Mikey Day / Heidi Gardner / Leslie Jones / Colin Jost / Kate McKinnon / Alex Moffat / Kyle Mooney / Ego Nwodim / Chris Redd / Cecily Strong / Kenan Thompson / Melissa Villaseñor

Truth be told, none of the current cast bother me, and I love quite a few of them. I'll rank them... how about that?

Aidy

Cecily

Kate

Kenan

Beck

Heidi

Mikey

Alex

Chris

Kyle

Melissa

Leslie

Pete

Ego

Michael

Colin

What’s with Emma Stone being blamed for having so much input in the writing? Where’s the evidence of this? I don’t remember a guest host ever blamed this much for the writing.

Look, I thought the show was terrible, but I blame the writers, not Stone. She did her best with the shit she was given, and she wasn’t in love with the cue cards.

R489, your entire list is a fail because you put Colin Jost last.

Is Fugkook appearing on any other shows?

R491 Colin's dull as fuck. I'd put him and Michael on the same level, but Michael doesn't bore me.

colin snagged scarlet johansen….what has che ever snagged?

not only least viewed episode of the year, stone is dudsville, but of the decade!

guest picks which sketches they want

wtf she thinking with the horrible poster girl dumbo bitch sketch??? its the only role she seems comfy playing, look at her film and tv history.

Colin? That dude is GAY AS HELL! He snagged Scarlett's brother maybe but not her.

Colin Jost and Che are both terrible writers and performers. Doesn't matter which one you put last. I completely agree with R489's list. And I love Kenan! He brings joy every week.

I would fire Leslie, Pete, Melissa, Kyle, and Che.

I would suck some of those cocks.

[quote]What’s with Emma Stone being blamed for having so much input in the writing? Where’s the evidence of this? I don’t remember a guest host ever blamed this much for the writing

Guest hosts are given a say in what sketches make it on to air. Jay Mohr's book about his two year SNL stint detailed how the SNL writing process wroks. He talked about pitch meetings where cast members and writers pitch their ideas to the hosts and the hosts can pick which ideas interest them. Jay talked about how he had sketch ideas that hosts liked at first, but then they changed their minds later on. He mentioned how when Shannen Doherty hosted he wrote a sketch where she played Sean Young and it made to dress rehearsal. After dress rehearsal, he found out that she requested that the sketch not go to the broadcast show. Another incident he mentioned was about Marisa Tomei liking one of his pitches and then a day or two later she didn't want to move forward on his pitch.

Now, Lorne and the head writers also have veto power after dress rehearsal. They can share some of blame for very bad episodes. They cut sketches sometimes based on the dress rehearsal audience's reactions.

I think Kenan needs to go already. He's overrated and he breaks in too many sketches.

[quote]I would fire Leslie, Pete, Melissa, Kyle, and Che.

Hmmm, how convenient that you want to fire all the minorities. 🤔

Pete is a minority?

Kenan seems constantly bored so he can go.

Well, Pete ain’t white.

Pete is a white guy from Staten Island.

[quote]Well, Pete ain’t white.

You fucking moron, Pete is an Irish Jew. He once mentioned his Jewish dad being part Italian, but it wasn't mentioned at Wiki. Also, Pete is so sickly looking because he's suffered from Crohn's disease since he was a teen.

"Davidson was born November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, New York, the son of Amy (née Waters) and Scott Matthew Davidson. His father was of mostly Jewish heritage and his mother is of Irish ancestry; Davidson was raised Catholic."

[quote]Does anyone watch AP Bio?

Patton Oswalt pimps it out on Twitter

Is that the one that stars that guy from It’s Always Sunny in......... ?

Yup.

[quote]Hmmm, how convenient that you want to fire all the minorities. 🤔

Ego and Chris weren't mentioned by that poster. Also, Kyle isn't a minority.

Pound for pound, this is the weakest cast in the show’s history. I think even the notoriously bad 1980 cast was more talented. You have some who can’t even read cue cards (Leslie), have never had one worthwhile impression (Kyle), who are considered comedy gold even though all their impressions are the same person (Kate), newscasters who I’ve gotten better but are still far weaker than their predecessors. And the writing is just atrocious. Even at a time when politics is constantly ripe for parody, they can’t nail down a simple political cold opening. There is also far too much reliance on celebrity guest stars, who often can’t read cue cards themselves. It’s a really bad time in the show’s history

As awful as Pete and Leslie are, Lorne won't fire them. I get a diva vibe from Leslie and I wouldn't be surprised if she leaves the show on her own if she doesn't get pay raises and has conflicts with Lorne.

I think there's a chance Lorne might fire Kyle Mooney in the off season. But, I could see Mooney being kept around for next year if they need someone to weakly impersonate Mayor Pete or another male politician. Melissa Villasenor is an ok sketch performer, but she flubs her in lines in sketches where she's not impersonating people. She'll probably be kept around to impersonate AOC again and maybe Tulsi Gabbard.

Heidi and Chris will probably stay on and be upgraded to regular cast members next season. I think both of them are decent sketch performers. Heidi doesn't fuck up her lines as much as Leslie or Melissa do.

Crazy Rich Asians.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Lorne brings in a white female featured player for next season to handle some of the political impersonations. Maya Rudolph will be brought to play Kamala Harris next season.

[quote]Maya Rudolph will be brought to play Kamala Harris next season.

Ooh, good call. That'll definitely happen.

Who'll play Buttagieg?

John Mulaney would be a good Buttagieg.

Also, Heidi is my favorite new cast member in quite some time. She’s already made a big impression.

Mikey Day could play Buttigieg.

Here's the large list of declared Democrats running in 2020. SNL probably won't include all of them in sketches. I wouldn't be surprised if Julio Torres pops into play Julian Castro and Bowen Yang plays Andrew Yang. Mikey as Pete Buttigieg. Melissa or Cecily could play Tulsi Gabbard. Heidi could play Amy Klobuchar or maybe Kirsten Gillabrand. If Kate is back next season, she'll probably want to play Elizabeth Warren. Maybe Alex Moffat as Beto. Chris Redd has already played Cory Booker and will probably do so again.

Twitter will throw a fit if SNL doesn't have a gay actor playing the first gay presi candidate.

Ana Gasteyer looks a bit like Amy Klobuchar. I wouldn't mind Ana doing a cameo on SNL. I could see it being some debate sketch where Amy K. starts beating up the other candidates.

They already used Rachel Dratch as Klobuchar this season, so I imagine they'd bring her back.

I love ScarJo as Ivanka. Hope to see her too.

Matt Bomer as Mayor Pete!

This article has casting predictions. Most of them are good predictions and several people have already played those politicians. The worst predictions are that Pete Davidson will play Buttigieg and Dwayne Johnson as Julian Castro.

Given how Lorne likes to bring in celebs or former cast members, it wouldn't be surprising if Kristen Wiig or Amy Poehler is brought into play Gillibrand instead of Heidi Gardner.

Def could see Poehler doing a good Gillibrand.

Jimmy Fallon has impersonated Beto on his show and I hope Lorne doesn't decide to bring him back to SNL for that.

I thought Fallon's Beto was funny!

Matt Damon could possibly play Eric Swalwell. He's buddies with Lorne. Stacey Abrams is still showing interest in running. If that happens then that will be a role that goes to Leslie Jones.

Will Forte sort of looks like Beto.

No, R520. No one ever cares about gay white men played by straight white men.

However, if it was a straight white woman with purple hair who considers herself gender fluid, and she was played by a straight white woman who doesn’t, SNL would have a massive boycott against it.

Gotta love “queer” politics in 2019!

In the past, there has been some ridiculous twitter outrage towards SNL casting choices. Years back, there were two Latina comedians Jenni Ruiza and Jesenia who launched a social media campaign about SNL not having a Latina cast member. They were upset because Cecily Strong was playing Latinas on the show. Those two Latina comedians also mentioned on social media that they were fans of MadTV. Nicole Sullivan played Latina comedians on that show and I'm guessing those comedians were ok with that.

If a miracle happens and Pete Buttigieg wins the Dem primaries and the general election, then Alex Moffat can play Chasten.

[Quote] Matt Bomer as Mayor Pete!

Agreed, Pete deserves only the best!

[quote] Nicole Sullivan played Latina comedians on that show and I'm guessing those comedians were ok with that.

You talkin' ' bout us, Lidia and Melina? The Chola chicks?

Those MadTV chola chick sketches were hysterical.

"Would you DO him?"

R536 r537 I miss those chola girls, they made me laugh more than SNLs dreary characters. They would definitely never be allowed today. I loved the one where they broke into Ricky Martin's hotel room.

R533 Stupido! Their names were, ummm... Lida and Melina!

LOVED Debra Wilson, she should have won an EMMY. I was in tears recently watching her Whitney & Bobby sketches on YouTube, my partner was wondering what I was laughing so hysterically about.

Whitney screws up the classics! Debra could also song, she was so good!

SING!

I always thought it was ironic that supposedly progressive SNL had to be forced kicking and screaming to diversify their cast while mad TV had players like Aries Spears, Bobby Lee, Debra Wilson, etc and never pat themselves on the back or made a huge thing over it.

Mayor Pete is homely as fuck. The other Pete should play him.

I guarantee Mayor Pete is 10x better looking than R544.

Fallon is impersonating Pete on his show. His voice is way too high. Not good.

Pete has a deeper voice than Fallon! I hope Twitter drags him.

it is odd how lorne stiks with colin and che, considering the widespread criticism of their meager talents...

do stars pay to be on the show? in some way?

Holy moly Dave Mcgarry is GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
