And SNL seems to have given both Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle more free range than they seem to normally give their host.



That was clear with Chapelle since he only wrote one skit and didn't change his clothes at all. He just wanted to be there for the monologue and that one skit and that's it. While I liked his monologue, he was really just there for the check.

SNL has been pretty lame for years now. Yeah there's a few good skits every now and then but overall the show has been unfunny for at least a decade.

I'd rather watch something really stupid, like wrestling, than SNL.

How awkward was your laugh during Chappelle’s monologue?

That’s what disappointed me most about the Borat sequel. I thought it was pretty good, of course it can’t compare to the original, but continuously attacking Trump/Pence felt forced and tired. Borat comes from a third world country that keeps women in cages and fears gypsies and Jews etc. Would’ve been fun to see him interact with antifa, BLM, feminists, trannies etc.

I don't know how much they pay, but I doubt he needed that money. The Clemson-Notre Dame game went over and SNL had to shave some of their time. His monologue went 16 mins, which is pretty long for a SNL monologue.

Between having his name on that episode, giving a 16 min stand up and a skit in an episode that didn't last as long as usual, they got their money's worth.

I think he was also there for the monologue, but I think he also said he'd only appear in a skit he wrote and if he was feeling generous a second skit.

I really hope Carrey isn't going to be Biden for 4 years. Jason Sudeikis was a million times better.

Wholeness kills comedy, kills humor, kills laughing and kills happiness. Don't believe me? Have you ever seen a member of BLm that was grateful for anything in their life or even appeared that way?

Too many years dedicated to one sided political comedy.
