SNL Season Premiere • Owen Wilson Hosts

Fairly well written episode.
They started with new cast member James Austin Johnson's almost flawless Joe Biden. Which, going by Twitter, threw a lot of people for a loop as they tried to figure out what movie star they'd brought in for the role. He also did a great Larry the Cable Guy and was solid as an unnamed sportscaster on the FOX NFL skit. His fame is for his perfect Trump impression, which I'm guessing they're holding in reserve until Trump is in the news again.
Pete Davidson wore a Norm T-shirt during his Weekend Update bit, then they closed WU with Jost throwing the desk to some best-of Norm Update clips, including his best OJ joke.
One real oddity: They started a skit late because Lorne was wandering around in front of the cameras. You could see him walking out of the shot as the talent said, "Are we starting now?" Lorne's getting old.
Only one cast member left the show (Beck Bennett). I read an article that theorized that the cast members were no longer leaving for the first movie deal that comes along. With little in the way of comedic movies in theaters, it's safer to stay on SNL and do some streaming projects on the side.
For those playing SNL Bingo in here, the following are free spaces:
• "I thought this show went off the air ten years ago"
• "SNL hasn't been funny since I was in high school"
• "Leslie Jones"

Does Colin Jost still have TDS?

Seeing your post is the only way I even knew it was back on, that goes to show you just how relevant SNL actually is today. Yeesh

What is Owen Wilson promoting?

What was the Biden skit?

The cold open was pretty blah. The new guys Biden impression was great but the actual sketch was just unfunny. I couldn’t even finish that sketch. Was the rest of the show better?

I watch SNL on a regular basis and thought it was pretty blah. The Biden skit wasn't good and then they open the show with the talk show bit.
Figured they'd have something for Norm so it was nice to see a few of his jokes.
Didn't see any mention of Kasey Musgrave's first performance. Took me a minute or so to realize she only had on cowboy boots. After looking it up, apparently she was just pulling a Jenny from Forrest Gump. Maybe the guys in the band got a good look.

Didn’t know he was on the show, that’s awesome. His Trump impression is uncanny.
Weird Al was not very nice to Mr. Coolio

Thanks, found that on the tubes. Nice little tribute.
Caught part of the Cars skit while flipping commercials during a timeout. That one at least had a couple laughs.

Yeah, if they didn't include at least one OJ joke, it would have been a total failure.

Really? I thought it was terrible and I don't know why he gave Joe a George W sounding accent. The writing sounds like somebody reading their jokes off a napkin at open mic night while the audience murmurs

The only time I've watched SNL the past 10 years was if i was suffering from insomnia on a Saturday night and needed a sure way to fall asleep.

Every single SNL thread devolves into a bunch of posters bitching about political persuasion of the show and saying the show sucks.
Those criticisms might be valid but why do y'all care enough to jump in every snl thread with same shite?
