Agreed - clearly, Lorne & the team saw that the first show (w/ Hanks) worked, and rather than rushing out another show the following week, took the time to: 1) distribute better-quality equipment, green screens, and costumes/props to the cast 2) give some thought to how sketches can work, beyond "hey, it's a Zoom call!" (although there's still a lot of that) 3) pull in some names (and Rob Schneider) to make these "at home" shows feel a little more special 4) UNLEASH THE KEENAN (in all seriousness, he's probably the most versatile guy in the cast - a true variety performer - and more than ever, he's the glue holding the show together)
True story - when my wife noticed last week that a second 'at home' show was on offer, I said to her that if this thing is going to go on for a while, they need to think about how to rework some classic sketch types - and I specifically mentioned "What's Up With That?" by name. Imagine my shock when it was in the A Block. On Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 6:44:50 AM UTC-4, JW wrote: > > > Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, and saw quite a bit of positive feedback on > Twitter.
