John Mulaney is hosting SNL - but no Pete Davidson

The covid dinner party was funny

Cue Anna Marie Tendler presser in 3, 2, 1...

I liked the Fisher Price podcast sketch and the monkey jrehashed, Mulaney's monologue was good.

The cha cha slide and subway churro sketches were basically rehashes, but still fun.

It's cheap and not actually entertaining. Like "Conan O'Brien walks in" is not actually a joke and is only funny if you are the sort of simpleton who is really entertained by "Oh my gosh that's Conan O'Brien! Haha he's said funny things in the past so I'll laugh reflexively now!" Like it's cheap and boring.

Even his monologue was a lot of rehashing of jokes he's told recently on other TV appearances.

My favorite SNL moment of this season is when Peyton Manning did that "Emily in Paris" thing on Update. That was hilarious. Otherwise it's been pretty mediocre.

Wooah. Are you me? Agree w/ everything you said.

I just bought Mulaney stand up tix. Hope I don’t regret going bc I’ll have seen it all before on late night TV!

The best part of Conan's appearance was when he screwed up his lines. And maybe when he said he had a podcast, but not really.

My friends and I saw Mulaney at city winery in nyc last year. He told some of the same stories/jokes in his SNL monologue, but just brief snippets. FWIW, it was a really great stand up performance and was quite long - my guess is that you won’t regret going (and I’m not exactly a Mulaney super fan).

The subway churros skit cracked me up. I take the F train to work, and almost every day I mutter to myself about getting effed by the f train. And you never know what the train it’ll be - the E or the N/R might show up, too - and you never know where the heck it will stop next. And it’s been wild on the trains recently with the cold weather - a few weeks ago a man who had been sleeping on the train popped up and suddenly started screaming at everyone that he needed water, and a woman on the train screamed back at him to quit it “because there’s children here!” (there were no kids in the car, but it didn’t seem prudent to point that out). Then she started beating him with her giant golf umbrella until he ran out of the car. We all just sat there. My friend calls the F train “the hobo express” since the seats are long benches that are convenient for sleeping, so there will often be at least one person stretched out sleeping in each car when it’s cold out. Anyway, I was laughing out loud at that skit! I assume they were picking on the F train because it stops at Rockefeller Center, so many of the cast/crew may have to take it to work. (Though I have never seen churros for sale on the F train platform; only the 7).

I wonder what people in non-NYC or non-East coast areas think of this show since it’s so NYC focused. That’s a bit of what I love about it, and it’s also sometimes annoying. New Yorkers sometimes think the world revolves around New York.

Sometimes is the only wrong word in this statement.

I lived in NY for a period and liked it, but I also remember the time that a group near me was trying to figure out a literary reference that I knew, so I told them. And they thanked me, then turned to each other and said, 'Only in New York!" which, no. No, New York is not the only place where people read.

Food on the subway and the horrors of apartment hunting are NY-specific, but I don't think most of SNL's skits rely on place, particularly.

[Anonymous]

There definitely are some very-NYC-specific skits, but not too terribly often. I want to say that I noticed one in the last Mulaney episode, but I can't remember what it was.

His delivery is fantastic. That Monkey Judge skit almost certainly wouldn't have worked well with a different host.

[Anonymous]

I thought that during TFG's reign, the show was very DC focused but since Biden is a boar (in a good way; i like it) it's more NYC focused again as it has been in the past. I don't care.

Loved Emily in Paris skit.

I thought it was that guy from Property Brothers who was hosting until I started listening carefully and clearly I was wrong.

In the 5 Timers skit, Candace hit it right on the mark "Let me be the first person to ask, who are you?"
