I doubt it, but at this point, making fun of SNL for being unfunny is sorta like making fun of a retarded person for being stupid. It's best to just accept it and move on.

It's been hard to tell. I wasn't sure because they're aired reruns of the new season. I wish Bobby Lee would be hired by SNL one day to get the recognition he deserves.

I'm not dissing here but she's an average looking girl with a baby face. You wouldn't want to mess with her character in "Hard Candy" where she played a psycho bitch.
