It’s so much that it was significantly funnier than previous installments this season (though I did laugh a few times), but the first new SNL episode of the calendar year did seem fresher and more innovative, and I appreciated that. A lot of this was simply being forced off the old Trump props they have been retreading for so long, but it also felt like they had brought in some new writers, or at least that the old writers had gotten some sleep.
It did feel like an extended commercial for the Peacock streaming service, as there was no other discernible reason for the Host (Jack Ryan presumably won’t show up for season 3 until the Fall at the earliest). I still don’t understand why they wear masks at the end; they all hug and close talk, and the benefits of masking are significantly reduced without social distancing. I just got my second Moderna a few days ago, and they have drilled into us to continue masking and distancing even after the two week wait for full 94% protection. I guess it’s just the social learning (modeling), or that in the close they are near cast and crew they otherwise are not near during the show (and maybe those from different pods are not hugging and close talking). -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
