I've read it was because the Pistols were at first denied visas due to their criminal histories, until Warner put up a one million dollar bond for a two week visa. By the time that was all worked out they had missed their initial US tour dates in December so couldn't be on SNL as planned, and instead started their disastrous tour at the beginning of January. That sucks.

I hope maybe later this season James Austin Johnson can pull out his Harrison Ford and Billy Bob Thornton impressions.

His Kamala is better than Maya Rudolph.

I guess after the 50 special, I am going to have to sign up for a month of Peacock to watch all these specials and documentaries.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Cancel Disney + and replace it with Peacock

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

All I have right now is Netflix and Prime

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

I don't watch SNL these days, so I have no idea how old it is, but I just watched the Royal Family Doctor sketch with Martin Short and Bill Hader. Absolutely hilarious.

SNL Character Playoff Bracket

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Gene Frankel and Matt the Radar Technician shouldnt be in that tournament. They're both from funny sketches but (I believe) one time characters and Gene isn't even the funniest part of the sketch he's in.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

I'd pick Stefon from the left side and Wayne & Garth from the right side, and then vote for Wayne's World cuz they made like the only funny SNL movie in the last 40 years.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

No Coneheads? No Father Guido? Gumby? Buckwheat?

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Definitely Stefon on the left side (love that character) and damn it's tough, but I'd have to go with Mister Robinson from the right side.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

I go Roseanne Roseannadanna or Unfrozen Caveman lawyer from the right and don’t really care from the left.

Who is your favorite character not listed?

Although I couldn’t argue putting him in over the aforementioned coneheads or gumby Id go with Drunk Uncle. Love me some Drunk Uncle.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Wow. So many.

Emily Litella, Irving Mainway, Velvet Jones, Leon Phelps (shut up, I like that sketch), Nat X, Evelyn Quince, the girl-watchers, the Jersey Guy, Lothar of the Hill People, Linda Richman.

I'm sure I'll think of more.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Mr Bill, the Festrunk Brothers, Todd and Lisa Loopner from the first years

Dieter! I can't believe I forget Dieter! Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance...

There is a red carpet show before the 50th anniversary.

Not living up to the renegade punk spirit of the show when it airs on a Sun and not Sat and it is live at 5pm Pacific.

Not that I would watch it when the sun is still out . -rolleyes-

Final 4

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Looks like FIVE characters to me. -ohbfrank-

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Going back to Round 1 though, I'm a bit bummed that Matt Foley beat Roseanne Roseannadanna. I'm sure it's recency bias, but Radner came up with a new rambling story each time she played the character. Matt Foley was funny AF the first time out, then it became just a question of what table or prop he was gonna destroy as he shouted "I live in a VAN down by the river" over and over again.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

A shame Kaitlyn was not included in the beginning rounds at least.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

And we have a winner

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, Matt Foley was a predictable character after the first appearance. Farley's energy and commitment made it a great performance, but not a great recurring character like some of the others. But I can't fault people for voting for the dead guy. :rip: Tommy Boy

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

I'm okay with Stefon "taking it all." :lol:

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread
 

Yes but it that kind of a recency bias since maybe a lot of the younger people that voted might have missed the older classic characters
