Not really. Some stuff is funny but he isn't someone I pay much attention to. He's background noise in my eyes.
I enjoy watching Jay more than anyone with Bobby Moynihan behind him.
Truth is I'm not much of a fan as I used to be in the '80s and '90s
I may be the minority here but I will always felt Eddie Murphy was the best SNL cast member while I felt Dennis Miller was a douche.
To me, Keenan is the new Adam Sandler. Same voice in nearly every skit.
When playing a character (in most cases) you should use a character voice, not our own. When Keenan does Barkley, you would never know unless they tell you on screen. When Jay does Shannon Sharpe or Shaq, you know.
When Keenan does Al Sharpton or Steve Harvey, you wouldn't know unless they put it up on screen. It's almost little effort on his part.
Therefore in my opinion, he sucks and would not be missed.

I didn't care much for Keenan the first few years he was on the show. But now I think he is easily the most talented cast member left. It may be just as much due to the better cast members leaving as it is to his improvement, but is true nonetheless. He is the best of a mostly empty cupboard.
As for Taran Killam, I'll give him this: He nailed the Merryville Brothers sketch, which was probably the funniest original thing they've done the past few years. Of course they then promptly ran that into the ground as well.

The skits were meh, but I thought Kerry Washington did a great job. Lots of variety in her characters and she wasn't staring at the cue card the whole time. 
Hope she comes back.

Just watched this episode. Lots of stuff that I thought would be considered racist. No mention of the King of Racism being on, though?
