re: SNL General Discussion Thread
I know everyone wants to shit on this guy and what has become of his career, and I have comment on whatever his current "comedy" is, but people are willing to pay him $50K for a one hour set, so I guess he is laughing all the way to the bank, as they say.

Sandler got him a lot of movie roles and he did have a brief run of success being the lead in the Deuce Bigalow and other movies in the late 90's to the early aughts.

So you're saying he's a standard issue right-wing nut job. And I'm saying he can earn as much in an hour as the average person makes in a year. And those two things have what to do with each other?

A disturbing number of the late 1980s/early 1990s SNL cast ended up becoming wingnuts: Rob Schneider, Dennis Miller, Victoria Jackson, (possibly) John Lovitz.

Look, I'm not a fan, but the tone of "look how far this guy has fallen" strikes me as odd when the story is revealing that he is doing these high-paying corporate gigs. |
re: SNL General Discussion Thread
Politics aside, Rob Schneider has never been funny... not sure what corporations are hiring him, but I'd question the Executive team who thinks he's a good choice.

Again, I'm not a fan, but he has a career. |
re: SNL General Discussion Thread
I think Dennis Miller has changed hi spolitical views and might not be a Trump guy and I heard he does not appear on Hannity anymore.
I liked his HBO show since he went after both parties which you should do Mod Edit: There are other ways to say what you're trying to say. |

Yeah, everyone knows SNL stays away from politics. ;)

On the other hand, I edited a comment that was an outright political statement that has nothing to do with the show. One could argue discussing former cast members' politics has little to do with the topic of the thread. Either way, this isn't SNL, and this isn't the forum for politics. |
re: SNL General Discussion Thread
I agree with you, story. And the comment you edited was especially moronic.
As I said, SNL cast members are entitled to have their own political leanings. But when they start showing up at state legislatures, arguing against mandatory school vaccine policies, then they have crossed the line and no longer discussing politics. At that point they are willfully endangering public health, just like if they were driving drunk. |

re: SNL General Discussion Thread
Honestly I wish SNL in general would move a little off the politics. Nothing to do with the politics themselves, I just find it extremely repetitive at this point.

re: SNL General Discussion Thread
The hosts and musical guests for the final two SNL shows of the season have been announced.
Looks like a good lineup. “Saturday Night Live” has set Maya Rudolph to host its May 11 episode alongside Vampire Weekend as musical guest, while the May 18 episode will by headlined by Jake Gyllenhaal with performances from Sabrina Carpenter. Rudolph was an “SNL” cast member for seven seasons from 2000 to 2007 and returns to the late-night sketch show for her third time as host, having previously hosted in 2012 with musical guest Sleigh Bells and in 2021 alongside Jack Harlow. Gyllenhaal will host the “SNL” Season 49 finale as a third-time host, having previously led episodes in 2007 with the Shins as musical guest and in 2022 opposite Camila Cabello. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...540f007c67.jpg |
re: SNL General Discussion Thread
Vampire Weekend is one of my very favorite bands. Excited for that one.

re: SNL General Discussion Thread
Another year without The Linda Lindas appearing as MG. I guess they're too small time and obscure to be on a big show like SNL. I mean, whoever even heard of the bands they're playing with this summer? Green something. Smashing Jack-O-Lanterns I think. Rotating Stones. Bunch nobodies, am I right?

re: SNL General Discussion Thread
There's a rumor out there that they've already started lining up hosts for SNL Season 50, and the season opener host is

You do realize that The Linda Lindas have never had a hit song . . . or been nominated for a major industry award . . . or been on the cover of a major music magazine. You've been watching SNL for a long time. You still have no idea how they choose their MGs? |
