Yes, they figure she'll be on again, she's young and she'll earn those skits with seniority

Michael Keaton

I am looking forward to Michael Keaton this week. He is one of those celebs who is sneaky funny and he also has a solid deadpan which can be really useful on SNL. I hope they give him good material though -- I don't think they made the most of Ariana Grande's skills (which she does have! she's a talented impressionist and obviously a great singer and dancer -- they wasted her with weak skits).

Thanks for posting! Had fun watching it again. So freaking funny.

So funny!!! My kids watched it and school too… math and history.

Nate Baergatze did a standup special during the pandemic that was fall in the floor funny. Amazingly, it was totall PG rated. I didn’t realize that when I watched it (I was on a pandemic standup binge) but ended up rewatching with my kids. The greatest average American. The part on new math is really great for anyone who has had ES kids or been one on the past 10 years.

Seeing him on SNL made me watch all his standup. He's great! Hope he becomes a recurring guest every year!

I can't wait 1+ weeks for the John Mulaney/Chappelle Roan combo, hurray!

I think it's highly likely Bargatze is getting a sitcom. He said something in an interview with Seth Myers recently that made me think there was something in development -- he's working on a book right now and while discussing that he mentioned that he is working on finding more ways to bring his comedy to more people including kids. To me that likely means some kind of family-friendly TV show. Which I think would be great. He also talked about how his comedy is intended to be something you can watch with your 7 yr old and your grandma and not feel uncomfortable but that you will all find really funny. That's so spot on and definitely a genre of comedy that has been lacking in recent years.

I think the fact that he's hosted SNL twice in the last year is a good sign and we're likely going to get a lot more of him soon. Who knows maybe Lorne is going to produce a sitcom with him.

I had never heard of Nate Bargatze until seeing the Washington skit, so I watched a few of his comedy clips and was impressed that it was all PG. It shows that you can be funny without profanity or sex-related topics.

I watch clips on SNLs YouTube channel on Sunday. I love the political skits. Tina Fey as Palin, Alec Baldwin as Trump, Kate McKinnon as everyone (Rudy!), Melissa as Spicey. So many great ones!

I thought Domingo / espresso was pretty funny, and Ariana’s “bad” singing was good. Loved her as Celine Dion.

They always cracked me up.
They were so darn cute and hysterical.

Their only feature film tanked at the box office so maybe Lorne wrote them off.
Guess he thought that their humor only worked for short skits only.

Seems these days cast members do not have long shelf lives.

What happened to Pete Davidson?
Haven’t heard anything about him over the past year.
Last I heard he went to rehab.

I miss Punky too.

Oh I liked Punky! I just realized she isn’t on cast anymore — she was one of the best of the new ones. Why keep Desnukes and get rid of her? I also loved the Do Not Disturb guys and how they are coming back.
The Latino guy is the best of the newer cast members. The skit last year with Bad Bunny about the explorers returning from the new world was one of the best skits they’ve had in a long time. I feel like he brings a fresh voice and quirky sense of humor. And his comedic timing and delivery is incredible.

I agree that Marcelo is doing a great job.
He is a wonderful cast member and am glad he is being featured in more skits each week.

I like Andrew - I can take him or leave him.
Punky was great for the past few years.
Sad she is gone.

The Do Not Destroy trio will be sorely missed if they never return….

Where in the world are these three hilarious “interns??!”
Yes their movie last yr was awful but that does not discount their unique and self-deprecating humour at all.

I say bring them back.

I will always miss Kyle, Aidy, Kate, Pete, Leslie and did I mention Kate??!

Lol.
My current faves are Bowen, Kenan (of course!) and I think Marcello is going to be a huge star in the long run!

Michael + Colin are already legends in my mind.
Their chemistry is amazing!

I did go see the Saturday Night movie and really enjoyed it.

Can't wait to see what they do with Trump's stupid music fest at the rally this week.

He will probably bill snl for using the idea

Yes she is

The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started A Conversation With At A Party really needs to show up as a guest on Weekend update and talk about the election

It's Please Don't Destroy, not "Do Not Disturb" lol
