To set this up: Literally the last time I *know* I watched an SNL live would've been the December 20, 1986 episode <https://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86h.phtml>. I'm sure it's happened since then, but I have not the recollection of it, and that includes Adele's last appearance in 2015.
Two questions and a statement for the panel: 1. I admit fully I'm in the bag for her, but that seemed like a rather...mediocre...episode. The Bachelor skit, which I thought worked best, didn't have nearly the laughs I thought it earned, but c'mon: if you can't get the 19-21-25 reference, I can't freaking help you. So that leads to my question: I know the audience is smaller, especially on the floor, but could it be that smaller audience means jokes that land didn't? 2. I don't care if watching her break was worth it: I don't think a post-Weekend Update slot was worth making sex tourism jokes, and it looks like a bunch of other people didn't think so, either. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/26/entertainment/snl-africa-sketch-adele-controversy-intl-scli/index.html 2a. I enjoy Kate McKinnon, but I also understand now why Sikula wants her shot into the sun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
