It’s probably mentioned in that podcast - but I read somewhere that when you’re cast onto SNL you share an office with a cast mate. But when Spade and others were cast they decided they wanted to combine 4 into the same office - Spade, Farley, Sandler, and Rock.
Now to be a fly on the wall listening to those 4 make each other laugh woulda been something.
Yeah, Spade could very well still be an asshole IRL, but he's toned down on the podcast and their dynamic works. Maybe it's from them both being a little in the shadows of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock (for Spade) and Mike Myers - who I find insufferable - for Carvey (easily the greater talent). Kindred spirits, in a way.Quote:

Kate was my favorite for this cast by an order of magnitude.
Keenan is both the glue and the guy who needs to go if they want a real major update.
I can't wait to see who steps into Aidy, Kate's, Pete's, and Kyle's airtime the next two years.
^classic. I still say “ride the snake” and “vibrating heat beads” regularly
Jim Carrey firing on all cylinders - solid gold!
Nice nod to that seminal squickfest Scanners, too!

Kendrick Lamar killed it though.

Heard the song 100 times now and it still gives me the chills. Kendrick has owned 2022 musically
Can't believe Keenan is still doing it, and killing it. Biggest shift in talent since Poehler and Faye left. Trump guy sounds like him but doesn't look like him at all.
I'm gonna give the new kids a couple shows before deciding if I ike them or not.
Watched tonight’s show for Dave. I haven’t really watched SNL since the late 1900s, but OMG the ads! So many many advertisements, more ads than sketches. What happened?
Been that way forever. Ads between each sketch. I watch on YouTube. It’s gotten to the point that they’re practically releasing the sketches real-time.
Dave and Black Star killed it.
I think his monologue deserves an embed. https://youtu.be/_m-gO0HSCYk
I agree. It was an ad after every sketch, more than usual. Luckily I don’t watch live, I record it and fast forward commercials.Quote:

Same here. It seems like they hold the cold open back a bit, so it's monologue > fake news > open > music > whatever sketches that aren't crap.Quote:

Mos Def! That was one masterful stroll through a very tricky mine field! And he brought it all the way around to cap it with a killer punch line! Dave is still the best!Quote:

Gobble gobble!
Hearing Mos Def and Talib Kweli took me right back to undergrad. Can’t believe it’s been 20 some years between their first and second albums.
Agreed. First exposure to BS for me.. Rage to old TV/Movie action scene samples.. Nice!Quote:

No more laughing at other people for being they way they just are.. We only laugh at ourselves for that.. I'm not 100% all in on that evolving etiquette and canceling over it. It's were we are though..
I know I'm in the minority on this, but is Chapelle even slightly funny? I'm not offended, he just hasn't said anything, ever, that makes me laugh, or even smile.

If this doesn’t make you laugh then I’m not sure what to say.
Fixed it for ya. He’s funny, you just don’t think he’s funny. Comedy is subjective.Quote:

People who say SNL USED to be funny are the people SNL is now making fun of. SNL used to make fun of marginalized groups. Now SNL makes fun of old people and especially rednecks
Yeah, fair. Watched that Prince thing, not even a chuckle from me. His humor clearly doesn't do a thing for me.Quote:

You don't find this funny? https://youtu.be/hLOw_SzkRQ8 something is wrong with your humor circuits, if so.
That one is a little better. Not funny, but at least mildly amusingQuote:

If Dave doesn't do it for you, who do you find humorous? Do Carlin, Murphy, or Pryor generate a laugh?
You just told us you are a Hannah Gadsby fan without telling us you are a Hannah Gadsby fan.Quote:
