I'll give them a couple more seasons. I still think they're prepping Longfellow and/or Sherman to take over WU once they leave. my current prediction is Longfellow gets the desk soon after becoming a rep player in his 3rd season. I'll be shocked if there isn't a WU changeup by the 50th.

I think next to leave is Mikey Day actually, he has been there awhile and he's been doing his Netflix game show host thing.

 

Late pass but the Xmas carol sketch was incredible

 

i don’t think i want sherman behind the update desk full time…i want her sketches!

 

I mean a castmember just being the dedicated full time WU person and not appearing in sketches has only been a thing the last decade or so. They should go back to where the WU anchor is a sketch player too.

 

Sarah would make Weekend Update actually good again

 

i agree with @jordalsh

 

In recent times a lot of the time the WU host(s) is also the head writer, who are usually the ones that only do Update and nothing else (Tina partially, Seth, Jost/Che). If that's not the case then they're usually still in sketches (Fallon, Poehler, Cecily briefly)

 

Longfellow and Sherman seem like great fits. I can definitely see Sherman doing a Fallon and Poehler and still doing skits as well

 

Reviews on the show seem to say the writes mailed it in this week... I kind of agree. More more misses than hits, for me.

 

The It's A Wonderful Life sketch was best of the episode for me.

 

Jewish Elvis was a rare miss for Sherman. The gameshow sketch and the Marzipan sketch were awful.

 

i couldn’t disagree more about jewish elvis and marzipan

 

yeah those were both great to me

 

Did Jost and Che write jokes for each other again?

 

I’m with you!

this was one of the best episodes of the season so far for sure.

 

What was the deal with Jost and Che? Did they just get into a huge argument before they went live or something? They both seemed out of it and pissed off haha

 

Jost seemed really, really devastated about Cecily leaving. I wonder if they found out just as suddenly as we did

 

Agree 100%

 

New please don't destroy video as well

 

sia?

 

Yeah starting her inevitable comeback

 

So I wondering what Vannessa Bayer was up to post-SNL and was reading about her new Will Farrell produced podcast she does with her brother. I noticed a lot of the guests were dudes in 2000's scene bands.

TIL Vanessa Bayer's brother is the guitarist for United Nations and was the music editor for Alt Press from 2002-2005.

 

Yea, I’ve listened to a bunch of episodes and it’s a fun show given that those two are around my age.

She’s also on a new Showtime show I Love That For You which I enjoyed

 

Lol without looking it up I remember his name is Jonah
