It does make you wonder why on earth she is there. Give her a chance to do something or bring someone else in. It's not like the show is so packed with greatness that there is no room for her.

I took it for a satire of those creepy North Korean glorious leader propaganda performances but the punch line was cut for time.

Most of the WU anchors are great or decent except for Colin Quinn.

Seth Meyers was ok but better when he had Amy Poehler.

I think Sasheer Zamata joined in 2014 in mid-season when they could not find a Black lady to play Michelle Obama and everybody protested when Keenan did it.

Jimmy Fallon was also pretty bad when he was doing it. He can be funny, but he wasn't good in that setting. Same for Seth. Jost and Che are just not funny, period. But they are good at letting us know how hilarious they find themselves.

Seriously, if you take out the "Fuck anyone who doesn't think like a NYC liberal, am I right people?" hyper-pandering disguised as comedy, what is left?
