Re: [TV orNotTV] SKB SNL

[Steve Timko]

I thought it was a great episode as well. My biggest complaint is that they 
have Kate McKinnon playing everyone. But otherwise I liked the sketch. The 
Nickelback sketch was memorable. I will even defend the Kyle Mooney sketch. It 
mostly was the same joke told over and over. I liked how they parodied the 
sloppy MTV editing.

Re: [TV orNotTV] SKB SNL

I agree about the Mooney thing, but otherwise not.  I’m not saying it was
one of the best episodes of all time; I am saying it was one of the best
episodes of the season.

My social media feed did not have much reference to SNL either way. After
reading your take I googled it, and did not see wide spread disdain (
admittedly I did not spend a lot of time on this project). I find myself in
agreement almost entirely with this review:

Noting for myself (and many others on my social media feeds) that I found 
Brown's outing an embarrassment of riches of terrible writing from the 
endless and horrifically unfunny cold opening through the terrible Family 
Feud sketch to the horrific 12:55 thing that was one of the worst offerings 
in an already awful season. Brown was indeed game, but even the best actors 
have their limits.

The booby prize of the evening goes to whatever the hell it was Kyle Mooney 
that was doing in his pre-tape. Wow. They should never let him near a 
camera again.

Just going to note that Sterling K Brown was unusually good on SNL this
week, and made the show unusually above average. He is a great actor, and
it turns out great actors can elevate material, and maybe inspire writers
to try a little bit harder. Especially liked the Nickleback sketch
