Probably saw the script and said "Nah, I'm good". But realistically I can see her coming back next week for Kate
A skit centered around antisemitism in any form (especially right now) is always an awful idea. I was cringing hard, and felt bad that new Chloe had to be front and center for it.
Yeah the cold open was the worst in a really long time, not that it’s normally good but woof Everything else was good or great. Love Driver
The SNL cold open is regularly one of the most boring unfunny things in our culture lol. Every week it’s the exact same bit.
Am I the only one not incredibly stoked for Kate coming back? I love the alien abduction skits, but most of her stuff, I just didn't get into. I always preferred Aidy Bryant and Cecily Strong over her. Kate mugs the camera way too damn much for my taste. I'm still gonna watch it, but yeah...I always thought she was incredibly overrated as a cast member.
That's cool with me cuz that's where Kate shines, but she mean mugs the camera any chance she gets. I guess when she was the star on the show, that was when I was lukewarm on SNL, primarily the Trump as president years. I'd watch if I liked the host, like Mulaney, Hader, Emma Stone, etc, but her era I watched less.
I had ups and downs with her. She could be electric on the stage but was featured wayyy too much. I really liked when she and Aidy started doing a lot more together
... and I would say otherwise, coming from a different generation of watching, and appreciated Phil Hartman and the multiple seasons of him, Carvey, Nealon, Lovitz, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson, and Nora Dunn.
The Adam Driver episode was so good. The only dud was the old people prank one. Loved the “how do you like your eggs? Nogged” joke. The All American Bitch performance was also an all timer.
Wiig is no doubt talented. I just got tired of how she dominated almost every sketch during her last 3-4 years, especially when other talented cast members got buried for the 400th iteration of Target Lady.
