Unabashedly love Hamilton. My daughter loves it too and we listen to the soundtrack a lot at home. LOVED last night's show. Lin Manuel Miranda was a fantastic host and did a great job in the skits. One of the best SNLs in recent memory, on par with the dude from Uptown Funk.

I absolutely look down on those who are proud of ignorance and stupidity. And i also look down on idiots like you who condone it. This is why we have the rise of these super racists like Trump. You should be ashamed of yourself.

NP. I'd rather spend my money at The Shakespeare or The Studio than on Hamilton. That doesn't make me ignorant.

Same here - any day!

Not the PP, but just FYI: many of us know exactly who and what LMM and "Hamilton" are - and we aren't impressed. What, exactly, does Trump have to do with either?

Just because you're clearly a rabid fan of LMM and "Hamilton" in no way means that others who aren't are somehow "ignorant and stupid." It simply means our tastes differ (widely) from yours.

I can't imagine you have many friends, what with your judgmental and condescending attitude toward people who don't share your tastes.

Hamilton isn't cultural now. It might as well be Friends.

Ugh. So people think they're cultured because they know of someone on Broadway now? The guy is talented but the obsession of basic people with everything Hamilton is making me ill.

This is the one thing you need to see if you don't know who Lin-Manuel Miranda is:

American treasure.

OMG. You must be joking.

Not everyone appreciates genius. It's okay.

Not everyone considers rapping to be "genius." Or anything close to it.

I was disappointed that they actually said the p-word, multiple times (from Alec Baldwin, and then again on Weekend Update). I mean, I know it's 11:30pm on Saturday night, and it's live, but really? That's where we are now? Feels like it won't be too long before f-bombs are actually written into the sketches, vs. a random spontaneous accident.

I feel like the opening skit with the VP debate could've been done better. The real life debate had so much SNL fodder Lorne and his writers could've capitalized on it better.

I feel like they had a great VP debate sketch totally done and then Friday afternoon happened.

It was just ok.
The singing got a little old after awhile. Yea, we got it LMM, you can spontaneously rap...you, M&M, and amateur rappers.

The other skits were amusing, but not ha ha funny enough to keep me from dozing off midway.

Crap! I missed it!...



.... Like I have for the last 5 years.
