Kate as Hillary talking to Hillary as Val the bartender was better, in particular KateHill saying she could have been a stronger supporter of same-sex marriage.

SNL jumped the shark decades ago. No need to watch bad tv when you can stream quality shows at will.

100%. He is so bad why do they pick him to host. His misogyny is unbearable right now.

It was a giant bummer from a comedy program at a time when people needed a laugh. It didn't serve as Amy kind of useful or insightful commentary. It was just "let's be sad together."

I liked this year's much better and liked that they did a head feint so you thought it was going to be another unfunny, self-indulgent, "right celebs are sad about something that probably won't affect them much" moment. But then they turned it into a genuinely good joke. I love Ego Nyodem claiming to be one of the 6% of black women who voted for Trump, and Heidi Gardener claiming to have voted for him 50x in Pennsylvania. The ripped Trump was funny. The butt of that whole joke is Trump and his stupid ego and that's right on the money. It's funny and it strikes at the truth.

I have extremely limited tolerance for rich people whining about the election on tv, even though I'm unhappy about the election results. Grow up. If you're unhappy, use your outsized privilege and influence to do something. Sitting there being publicly "devastated" is weak and pointless.

That was the joke.

I thought it was hilarious. They didn't even have to write the bit about Elon jumping around because he actually did that. The only thing that would have made it better would be having the guy's shirt pull up when he jumped, like Elon's did.

Duh, that's why there's the lol before the sentence.

Agree! The shirt was very intentionally tucked to prevent exposure so someone made that choice.

Yes it was awful. Andrew Dice Clay vibes. But the buffalo WW commercial was great.

Are they going to bring any better hosts? Ugh what was that last night?

[Anonymous]

The writing has been terrible. They always take every sketch to an absurd point.

[Anonymous]

I love it when past cast members come back in cameo roles.

Like Pete Davidson a few weeks back, then last night Kyle Mooney.

I loved the Cold Open last night showing Trump and Biden sitting in front of the WH fireplace cracking lines.
It was truly hilarious!!

I like it when SNL has series skits like the Great Bake-Off from time to time too.

I think most people who saw it forgot his Asian zinger.

Racist much??

The cold open of Kate, as Hilary, singing Hallelujah was some of the best TV I've watched. We WERE sad. There's nothing wrong with poignancy.

This. I watched it right after the most recent election night and it was still moving.
