Premiered yesterday.

Created/franchised by Lorne Micheals. Tina Fey was the host.

No idea how this is going to work. The shadow of Monty Python looms like a giant over British sketch comedy.

That’s going to be some soft arse bleached out comedy.

Seems odd for Lorne to do this when the show is a shell of its formal self. And he’s old as hell. He’s going to run two mediocre comedy shows now?

When Norm Macdonald was on SNL he heard Cleese and Palin were going to be on. He was so excited he told castmate Cheri Oteri, adding "They're going to do the Dead Parrot sketch!"

"Oh" she replied. "Is it funny?"

Not only had this sketch comedy specialist never seen Dead Parrot, she had never heard of it. And this was in the '90s.

Python is ancient history for comedians today. As dead as the Pharaohs -- or the Marx Brothers.

SNL isn't really about comedy anyway. It's about making some reference the audience will recognize so they'll applaud (not laugh)

Hell no this current cast is the best I’ve seen in a while.

2 of those 3 were simply terrible. Liberals smelling their own farts.

laugh track throughout the opening

maybe Michaels and Fey can push it through for a few years but how much money do they want to lose

that was not funny at all

Sucking farts? lol That every accusation is a confession line has become so true for MAGA.

The sketches bother you but Trump the most prolific liar US politics has ever seen is ok?

Is it not true the whole trans thing is way overused by the culture war clowns? Anything to distract from actual everyday problems.

Did they not recently demonize Pretti for having a gun that at a protest after they murdered him? Completely ignoring the right wing protests with all their big arse guns on the steps of the capitol.

More of the same on MAHA. That dip shite RFK just praised Trump for bringing back the roundup chemical he fought in court as a lawyer and won. shite we’re on the verge of losing herd immunity to measles because of these freaks

Hard to argue when it’s all facts huh

It’s actually kind of funny Trump sort of coined the whole fake news thing in 2016. Making the media untrustworthy. Now he makes sure his supporters are fed a constant supply of bullshite.
