DirecTV apparently having technical difficulties with NBC tonight, so no SNL for me.
Edit: Apparently it was the local NBC affiliates problem, not DTV. Oh well.

I love his stand up but he was memorably horrible at live acting last time he was on. Was he any better this time?

Most of the show makes it to Youtube on SNL's official channel.

Louis CK really makes these sketches his own. I wouldn't be surprised if he mostly writes them while working on his other projects. Other hosts are just performing. But I'm pretty sure these are Louis' sketches.

I liked how CK realized that a Borat impression was a probably ridiculous choice for that sketch.

It was not bad, but he seemed to be searching for his lines a few times and when he was interviewing "Trump" he seemed to get his Trump and O'Reilly impressions mixed up a bit.
Some of the sketches definitely felt like Louis CK had a big hand in writing them. I loved his opening monologue.

Opening monologue was the best part of the show. I did like the Pepsi Sketch and the Thank You Scott song.

Kind of disappointed considering the quality of the host and they had almost a month to prepare this show.
Kate McKinnon as the Spanish artist was the highlight of the show and the sectionals.

I like the clown part. Deliciously awkward and cringey.

Louis Ck is becoming less and less funny to me. I FF'd through the monologue after a few jokes and I ended up bailing on this ep during the courthouse eyelash bit. I may try again later...

A case of plagiarism for the clown sketch?

Comedian Tig Notaro has blasted Saturday Night Live for plagiarizing her idea. The stand-up and star of Amazon’s One Mississippi co-wrote, directed, and starred in a 13-minute short called “Clown Service” that she premiered in 2015, and it bares a striking resemblance to a video sketch called “Birthday Clown” that aired on the most recent episode of SNL, hosted by Louis C.K.
As Notaro said in a statement released to Entertainment Weekly, *quote* “It has been impossible for me to ignore the cacophony of voices reaching out personally and publicly about the potential plagiarizing of my film “Clown Service”… While I don’t know how all this actually happened, I did find it extremely disappointing.” She went on to claim that a writer/director who was aware of her short worked on the SNL video.

Whatever. Comedy is EVERYWHERE now. You can't do anything without ripping off some Tweet or some unseen indie short. Everyone takes an idea and makes it their own.
