No jokes, no politics, just a tribute to Leonard Cohen.

Edit...

They had to throw in an mild attack on Trump at the last second.

That was political though. "My person didn't win and I'm heart broken but I'll keep trying."

Yeah, not exactly sure that was a tribute to him. More of a let's cry because our candidate didn't win, and oh btw this is a good song to use since Leonard Cohen died.

Well, of course they shoe-horned in politics there at the end to shite on what was a perfectly good Cohen tribute.

I thought it sucked. There was so many good ways they out have gone with it - Trump being shocked he won, arch conservatives getting ideas with Pence so close to the power, etc.

Plus, she wasn't a very good singer.

Chappelle is nailing it though.

Go back and watch the first show back since 9/11. One of the more powerful moments they've ever done and Giuliani got to deliver a very solid punchline after Paul Simon's performance.

Dave was great but everything else was lame.

The opening with McKinnon was fricking awful. That's what you start the show with? fricking booooo

You had two good sketches and a great joke about the minority senators by Colin Jost and that's it.

It was a solid episode and will probably go down as one of the best of the season. El. Oh. El. at those whose jimmies were rustled tonight.

This board is becoming insufferable when McKinnon can sing Cohen and say I'm not going to give up and neither should you in the Hilary character without people screaming bloody murder.

Not to mention Chapelle killed the monologue and people are shitting on that too.

Bunch of Ragelicans in here. You won. Stop acting like a bunch of babies when people don't lick Trump's... shoes. Our next president threw such a fit over Obama winning that he demanded birth certificates over media.

That was a tasteful way to start the show from Kate and Dave and the amount of down votes in here is downright baffling.

Horrible cold open. Was that supposed to be the eulogy to Hillary's campaign?
