What are we expecting? [/quote]

It can be very, very annoying to other cast members and writers.

Imagine this: You are a relatively new SNL cast member. One of the writers finally wrote a skit you were perfect for. Some really funny amazing stuff happens at the end. But before that stuff happens, another cast member (oh, let's say Jimmy Fallon, because he was notorious for this), starts "breaking" ... and the audience roars in response to his un-contained laughter. They find it adorable. They find it funny. They love it. The amusing thing is now Jimmy Fallon "breaking," and the the hilarious end of the skit all but disappears in it. The writers' hard work? Doesn't shine. The new cast member? Fades into obscurity.

We actors call it upstaging. Chewing on the scenery. It's not appreciated. [/quote]

My person. I agree 1,000%.

Jimmy Fallon was absolutely the WORST. He would “break” on the dumbest skits, giggling like a little girl when nothing remotely funny was going on, and then he’d sneak glances with the “cool kid” cast members (especially mean girls Amy Poehler and Tina Fey) as if they knew something you didn’t. It basically gaslit people into thinking the skits must be funny since these brilliant comedian are cracking up.

He employs the same strategy on his night show. Always cracking up to distract from the fact that he’s not that funny. [/quote]

Who do you think was the worst when it came to breaking characters?

Jimmy Fallon or Pete Davidson?
I think the fact that Pete broke in 95% of his sketches made him even funnier as a comedian.[/quote]

Fallon is a talentless hack and was the worst.

Davidson wasn't that much better but Fallon was couldn't get through a sketch to save his life.

I agree, it can be funny when they crack but when it's all the time like with Fallon, it's just not funny at all.
