It's not even close, really. She Who Will Not Be Named pioneered the one-size-fits-all overplayed characterization (I defy anyone to tell me the difference between, say, Target Lady and the woman who reviewed movies) and set the standard. McKinnon is a mere pretender, though she's doing her

The question now becomes, who does Dave dislike more, McKinnon or Wiig? Even though SNL has been rather ham fisted in trying to turn her into the new "funny girl" (in the Radner, Hooks, Oteri, Pohler, Wiig tradition) I find I like her noticeably more than I did Wiig (which is not a high bar,

It is good, and they got off some good observations last night, but it felt the least well developed of the sketches they have done so far. Trump went off less because of the content and more because his "strategy" of the week is to call into question the legitimacy of the election even he now

I was away for the weekend. Got home last night and she said I had to watch SNL. She often thinks SNL is not funny, so I knew it would be good. It was good. On Mon, Oct 3, 2016, 2:34 AM Steve Timko wrote: > I watched it again. It was better than my initial impression.

I'm comparing it more to the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler sketches from 2008. I think SNL and NBC were trying to recapture that magic. Those 2008 sketches created some highlight reel comedy. Baldwin was about the only strong part of Saturday's sketch. On Sun, Oct 2, 2016 at 11:51 AM, PGage

Baldwin crushed it, but the skit was just okay. The "Family Feud" sketch had some great laughs but some missteps too. On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 5:11 PM, Brad Beam wrote: > Alec, that is. Direct from the make-up chair: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpeDdqcU_VY > > > > _
