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

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

Racist much??

I thought his monologue was pretty funny (I am a lefty middle aged white woman) except for the random Asian comment. I think he was trying to mock people who blamed Asians for covid but he bungled the delivery and it didn’t land. I think he does a good job ribbing working class white guys generally — he’s not really punching up or down, he’s punching straight across.

I don’t find his jokes misogynistic. It’s like when Che makes the joke “see ladies, you’ll get your little prescient eventually…” — as a feminist, I am laughing at these jokes. Because yes América is really sexist and these comedians are pointing it out. Would Kamala have done better if she tarted it up a little more? Maybe. Kristi Noem certainly seems to think that’s the play. Burr was saying the same thing a lot of feminists have been saying — America is not ready for a strong female president.

Why on earth do they keep trotting out alex Baldwin? Does he have kompromat on Lorne? He was not at all funny, and didn’t even seem happy to be there. I think he’s sick of his own whole shtick and his wife is forcing him to try to stay relevant. The crew must hate him since not only did not one tell him his fly was open, but they then switched cameras to have the perfect angle on exactly how open his fly was. (From the first angle, I actually paused screen to see if his fly was open or if it was a weird drawstring pant, and couldn’t tell—then they switched the angle to a side view and it was super obvious.).
Can we please please put Alec out to pasture? To preserve the memory of the phenomenal Always Be Cobbling skit?

Oh I love Andy! They can bring him back anytime. But Dana Carvey is not funny. Even in his prime he was only funny with Mike Meyers or Phil Hartman assisting. Did Dana buy a condo near 30 Rock so he can just pop in whenever?

I was wondering how the current cast feels that Lorne would rather use these unfunny old guys instead of them. (Although there are a half dozen people from the current cast I’d love to cut.) Please give me more Chloe, Marcello, Ego, Kenan and Bowen. (Sarah and Michael L are very good in specific roles. But please tell Sarah that her jokes about Colin are now tired and need a rest.)

I think Dana Carvey as old Biden is perfect. He slurs his words together exactly as Biden does.

I thought he was pretty funny too. It was refreshing to have some old school humor that wasn’t worried about being overly pc. I wondered how he was allowed to make those jokes given all the people looking for any opportunity to be offended.

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

That was amazing, and repeating the young guy with the high-visibility vest from the Casey Affleck Dunkin ad was hilarious.

I was assuming this was intentional for the 50th anniversary season, bringing back people from the past.

Can you imagine being caught with your pants unzipped on live TV that is recorded and viewed by millions?

That's the stuff of nightmares.

Maybe if the cast and crew didn't hate him someone would have told him or if he didn't position himself right in the front no one would have noticed.

I noticed at first because he was standing there so awkwardly he reminded me of the old relative people being to a party anc then don’t talk to and he’s miserable because his hearing aid doesn’t work in crowds. He was just standing there in the front, staring blankly, not talking to anyone or engaged. Clearly he was always a guy with issues but he was hugely talented — stuff like 30 Rock was just really, really good. But I think the last two decades have been really hard on him with the crazy wife and all the kids and financial pressures and the Rust shooting — I can’t even imagine what a sh-t show this reality TV thing is gojng to be. I would not be surprised if we find out in 5 years that he has some sort of dementia or neurological condition.
