Even Jane Wick is beginning to grow on me.

I like her on Weekend Update but she was so awful in the stripper skit. Refused to deliver funny lines in a funny way. She stuck with her own way of performing which has a time and place, but it was distracting here and a slap in the face to other people in the skit.

She was terrible in the stripper skit. I think they could have found a random audience member who could've done a better job. She's a one trick pony and she doesn't even do that very well.

She ruined that skit for me. Her under-acting seemed intentional and it just took me out of the scene every time she spoke.

She does that in every skit she’s in for me. The southern women playing truth or dare last week, she was just awful. The tween boy podcast skit earlier in the season, she is just terrible. Like she can’t even try to evoke emotion in her voice to make it funny.

People have been saying this for 30 years.

It's weird it keeps trucking along and even manages to be halfway relevant, yet it does. They have been recruiting cast members from TikTok and YouTube for a while in order to attract younger audiences, and it kind of works (young people do NOT watch SNL when it airs but they will watch and share clips online later, and older people both watch it live or watch clips online, so it actually stays moderately relevant).

Television in general is a dying medium, so of course SNL is in decline, but the clip sharing keeps it from being a total dodo bird.

I don't really like it but am glad it's still holding on, along with late night talk shows, because right now these are places where people continue to mock the president, and it's important that we live in a country where you are allowed to mock the president. Of any political affiliation, they mocked Biden too and that's healthy. Trump's efforts to silence these critics because he's thin skinned are dangerous and so this would be the worst possible time for this stuff to go off the air. We need it to stick around and help us get through the current threats to Free Speech and other political freedoms while we have these people in charge with totalitarian inclinations.

But the question is WHY is she in those skits. She is rarely the main character, usually just part of a chorus of people supporting the main joke. Like her job will be to nod along or deliver one or two lines. There are other cast members. Why does she get these parts? And why insist on giving her a line (other cast members don't always get lines) and zooming in on her when she delivers it (other cast members will deliver lines in a wide shot but the camera will often zoom in on Wickline when she doe she line).

I fee like I'm being trolled, honestly.

The writing/directing is terrible. They always take every scenario to the idiotic extreme. Other than the cold opens with Trump and the Weekend Update, the show is unwatchable.

SNL created an AI image and then used it to dunk on Trump.

I don't think it's the cast as much as the writing has been not that funny this year. I didn't finish the last two episodes, just not enough laughs.

I totally agree and the sketch was great otherwise. Terrific original idea.

Just saw that Bowe Yang is leaving SNL after tomorrow night.

I figured he was leaving since he hasn’t been showcased much this season.

It’s time for him to make the leap since he’s done some movies and national commercials. He’s recognized and making better money that way.

And he probably had some loyalty to the girls who left.

Oh no!

Not Bowen Yang!! 😢😭

Just read that Bowen’s last episode will be the one airing this weekend.
Say it isn’t so!

He is a large part of the show’s current success + he will be greatly missed.

The show will never be the same again.
Ever.

I still miss the greats Leslie, Cicely, Pete, Kate, Aidy, Kyle and Devon……

But the skits were very funny regardless.

Marcello is just getting better and better.
Even Jane Wick is beginning to grow on me.

I still miss Kate, Cicely, Aidy and Pete but the new cast has some good, fresh talent.

Joke swap will probably be next week before Xmas.

Yes that is usually the time of year that they do this.
Hoping they do not disappoint this year!
Jane Wick is being favored so much yet her talent as a comic is mediocre at best so I assumed that there was some personal connection that Lorne had w/her & her family.
This season it seems was a completely different dynamic.
Ego had a great season last season, it was a huge shocker when she left.
Heidi too was an excellent cast member who could perfectly portray a multitude of characters.
Is Sarah Sherman next on the chopping block??

I have liked her in some things but she was awful in that skit and ruined it. They need to not put her in things like that. I’m one of the few that liked the skit about the baby shoe.
