Since Ghost in the Shell is coming out soon... we get Scarlett... and she's now a member of the "5-timer Club" and only the 4th woman to have that honor (Drew Barrymore, 6; Candice Bergen, 5; Tina Fey, 5). Guess we'll get sketch about it or at least a mention.

FYI, they're running a Bill Paxton hosted episode right now on NBC.

spsimmons

Thought this was a pretty good episode.

Count Dooku

Based on these two new songs, I will say that Lorde is a one hit wonder.

tommyp007

There for a moment I was excited that maybe the real Al Franken would have made an appearance on Weekend Update. Pretty good impression tho.

The Questyen

Great episode and my favorite SNL musical performance in years.

JeffTheAlpaca

Complicit lol

Pete Davidson for his brief time on WU killed it.

The first song by Lorde is something that might better with more repeated listens.

Another two week break until Louis CK and the Chainsmokers on April 8.

Rob V

Did Pete Davidson actually have a drug problem?

The skit with the talking dog was hilarious. It could have been better, but the content until the end was pretty funny.

BDB

Yeah - he posted on instagram last week

whotony

Lorde looked like a mental patient during that first song.

Mabuse

What the fuck was that ninja sketch? Just horrible. And that fucking mermaid sketch. Fuck.

Aweful episode.

TomOpus

So, you really loved it.

Throwing Copper

I thought Lorde's slow song, the second one, was fantastic. Probably replayed it 5 times. edit: It's "Liability" -- really good shit. already popular on Itunes.

JTH182

They're both recurring sketches too.

The Questyen

Lorde is one of my favorite musicians and yeah I've already listened to both songs tons of time on spotify.

JuryDuty

Lorde's not going anywhere and I'd give her the benefit of the doubt based on every song on her first album, but man, I wasn't feeling it with these songs. They both seemed like they still needed major editing work in the lyrics. Not sure how much "mass appeal" they have compared to her previous work.

That said, I'll be giving them more listens just to see if they grow on me. I love her sound.

Loved the Talking Dog skit and the Complicit sketches. But the rest were a bit of a mixed bag. Lots of fast forwarding on my DVR for sure.

Doc Moonlight

I can't hear Lorde without thinking of Randy Marsh.

sportsfan64

Weekend Update 30 minute show coming to primetime in August.

Eric F

Well, Randy is Lorde after all...

Mabuse

Just when they have the two most awful hosts in the series' history NOW they go prime time? Those guys suck.

BDB

Starting on April 15, the show will air live simultaneously across the country for the first time in its history, coinciding with the East Coast airing, Variety has learned. This schedule change impacts the final four episodes of the current season.

jjcool

They really are terribly unfunny. I am real surprised that Lorne has stuck with them for so long, given how bad they are.

Bill Needle

If you read these threads there are those who claim WU is the best part of the show every week. Glad to see there is some sanity hanging around. Part of the problem is if they are going to perform as smug blowhards they better possess at least a basic ability to be funny. Instead it just makes their awfulness that much more grating.

GuessWho

SNL to be live nationwide this spring

Why are the news hosts not in any sketches?
