SNL 4/25/20

Brad Pitt!

Fauci probably has a boner after seeing Pitt impersonate him.

Yikes, Brad's pulling off the wig and getting serious. CRINGE

I don’t know about Fauci, but I sure do.

He should have left the wig on.

It looks the SNL crew must have shipped costumes and props to cast members.

How is this stupid ass show supposed to make people feel better?

This is awful.

I think teenage kids could put on a better show.

First skit: the long-running "What Up With That?"

And yet, Kenan has always - ALWAYS - said, "What's Up With That?" "What's Up" with an "s".

Does he have a learning disability or something?

I'm not a huge Pete fan. But, this music sketch is pretty creative.

He looks better than I've ever seen him. Less sunken eye look.

This show is much better that the previous attempt.

Not even going near this after the disaster that was the first remote show.

It’s much better this week, R12.

Give it a try, R12. It's much better than the first one.

Don't want to hear Miley Cyrus butcher Pink Floyd.

Agree with R11 and R14. This week is much better than last.

Funny, but as someone who actually watched the ABC show Turn On, this is like a current iteration of the ahead of its time fast paced video comedy show. It was a video taped fast paced Laugh In.

I kinda like it as a Live alternative.

But the Kate and Aidy skit with the "Bar-b-q" kit of a bottle of sauce, a knife and 400# live hog had me laughing out loud.

SNL's YT channel is not wasting any time putting tonight's cold open and skits up, they are all there already.

Pete should have done his piece nude.

Colin looking damn fine again.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that was Alex dancing topless in the upper-right-hand corner during Chloe Fineman's skit.

At first I was thinking what every gay man in America was thinking. Brad Pitt as Dr Fauci ? Also Brad strikes me as someone who doesnt rock the boat. He's going to get death threats from deplorables now. Very brave and made me love him even more. I thought it was nice how he took down the third wall and thanked the health care workers. I cried like a baby.

No comment about the exchange between Jost and Che who was pushed to say a really bad joke? Do you think it was planned or did it catch Che off guard?

The Pornhub commercial was funny.

I loved Miley. I could listen to her singing covers all day.

“Whipped Strawberry Milk” was a fantastic joke.

I loved the Chris Redd released from prison and horny skit as well as Kenan's OJ. Very funny.

"Whiskers r We" was a delight.

I don't think they were going for funny tonight, much more reflective, and much more polished.

I liked it a lot, but Weekend Update is weird without a laugh track.

So the joke was that Fauci actually joked, in a self-deprecating way, that Brad Pitt should play him in a movie, or something. So this was that. Without that context, it kinda loses any relevance.

Do a lot of the SNL people keep a home in Los Angeles? Can they afford that on an SNL salary?

No, sweetie, @ r31, it becomes an in-joke and is even funnier.

R32

Chloe Fineman seems to be staying with a boyfriend who rents or owns a house in LA. She did an instagram live video with Melissa Villasenor about a month ago and she showed a shed next to the house that had a bunch of props she uses/used at Groundlings and for her celebrity impersonation videos

Cecily Strong is from Chicago and seems to New York based. Kate McKinnon is from Long Island and lived in LA years ago before getting on SNL. I don't think she owns a second home in LA. She is probably a higher paid cast member. Aidy Bryant and her husband seem very New York based. Hard to tell with the rest of the cast.

SNL has been said to be one of the lowest paying acting jobs on TV. Past cast members have admitted this in the past. Tina Fey said in an interview that during the time she was on SNL, people on MadTV made more than she did.

[QUOTE] I don't think they were going for funny tonight

One hopes not...

I thought Kenan’s place looked like Florida and indeed, he has a house in Tampa.

Alex stepped out on his balcony in one shot, which made me think he lives in the city.

This was cute.

A third at-home episode airing tomorrow, which also serve as the season finale:

is there a thread for tonight's episode?

Who wants to see this low budget crap?

I heard ratings were terrible after people sampled the first one.
