The spirit Halloween commercial was solid.
I thought this was pretty good. Then on November 1st, we throw all this crap in a dumpster.

I thought the cold open was awesome-

That cold open was easily 3-4 times longer than. It needed to be.

Stevie Nicks not looking so good nowadays.


Saw her in concert last year and even though she sang one silly song about Ukraine she did a nice tribute to Tom Petty and sounded really good.

That's what I thought. Then I saw the rest of he show and wished the cold open had been longer.

I'm not a huge fan of Rudolph's Kamala bit but she's got a solid groove in it now. It looks effortless for her. Gaffigan as Walz was fricking perfect. Carvey's Biden is hilarious (brings to mind his MIckey Rooney and Grumpy Old Man characters). Yang as Vance was terrible. No idea why they're pushing Yang so hard on this show. He's definitely the most comfortable in front of the camera, but he's pretty one note even with his "impressions". Ego Nwodim is one of the best things they have going for them, and they kept her hidden the entire episode except for the horrific, laughless fajita sketch.

I think it started as an overcorrection after firing Shane Gillis

The only box that Yang doesn't check is that even as a gay man, he knows which bathroom to use.

I think she’s good, but then again, I find her jabiden funny.

I don’t find him funny at all and it has nothing to do with Asian or gay.

I doubt it's the Asian/Gay thing. They had a Black/Lesbian on there for years and gave her minimal exposure.

Yang is still one of their head writers. He's putting this shite in for himself.

Best explanation I've heard. If he knows what Lorne likes, he has an inside track. The other writers sure didn't do shite last week.

Where do you see this? I don't see him ever listed as a "head writer." He's not even listed as a writer, at least in the Wiki article.

He started as a writer in 2018 and moved out as a Featured performer in 2019.

I know. But you said he is "still a head writer." I've seen no information that suggests he has ever been a head writer, let alone a writer since he joined the cast.

I could be mistaken. Based on how often he goes to do interviews singing the blues about mean, mean Elon Musk who didn't get his jokes and hurt everyone's feelings, I may have incorrectly inferred his status among the writers. He also went on ad nauseum about Sydney Sweeney's involvement in the writing process, begging them to make jokes about her boobs.

You're much more invested in this than I am, apparently.

No. I was just surprised to read that he was a head writer and was hoping it wasn’t true. But it would also be believable with how bad the writing has been.

Yang sucks and is a stereotypical gay drama queen.
