Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: 'SNL' Editors Strike Averted
I hear you, but I've found that SNL this season (and the Jenna Ortega episode in particular) are really starting to move away from the tried & true (and largely unfunny) talk show/game show sketch formats and re-embrace the absurd. Sure, it doesn't always land, but at least they're trying something.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: 'SNL' Editors Strike Averted
Until the airing of the most recent show, I could not remember the last time I laughed at something, anything, on SNL. I now have a benchmark, this skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYNFqmu2toI On Sat, Mar 25, 2023 at 4:18 PM Marti Lawrence wrote: > Glad to see this.

Glad to see this. We still watch SNL every week, but there are times when the only really funny thing is the pre-taped segment. ~Marti On Friday, March 24, 2023 at 11:19:30 AM UTC-5 Mark Jeffries wrote: > The people who edit the pre-shot segments for "Saturday Night LIve" and > NBCU have agreed to a pact that recognizes the IATSE union representing > the editors, while NBCU agrees to raises, health care and meals, hotels and > transportation for the staff who do most of their work overnight on Fridays > to get the segments ready for the live telecast (the sketches are usually > shot Thursday and Friday before the telecast): > > > https://www.thewrap.com/saturday-night-live-editors-ratify-new-labor-contract-averting-strike/?utm_source=newsletter_medium=email_campaign=breaking_news_7234727 > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
