This should be very interesting... it's his first time hosting. Katy's been around the block a time or two (hosted once, been the MG three times).



Season 47 (2021-2022)

It is a surprising choice of host but a great one, I hope it turns out well.

I think that is from the Loveless a movie Kathryn Bigelow did in 1981.

He is such a awesome actor and seems like a really cool guy in interviews and can't wait.

I bet she will perform this ear worm concocted by her talented team of 10 song writers but I doubt she would do "Electric" since that is from 2021 and old now.

At least she is back to the long dark hair and not the ugly blonde short hair.

Probably the last SNL until late Feb or March with the Olympics coming up

As I mentioned last week, Perry just started a Vegas residency, playing snippets from all her hits in a lavishly produced stage show. She looks and sounds great.

I think that is from an ad for gay hook-ups from the Village Voice in 1981.

Toad from SMB is looking both buff and feminine these days. Good for him.

Peyton crushed that Emily in Paris skit during update, just wish it was slightly better material

Crappy episode, but yeah - Peyton was great.
Willem didn't really bring much to the table.

Katy Perry... to quote Logan Roy... "Fuck off!"

I’ve only watched the cold open so far. That was not very funny at all. Loved the premise, but the writing and execution of it was pretty bad.

The blowing yourself sketch at the end was funny and Dafoe was game for being silly with that and the beauty and the beast sketch and the Nugenix spoof though it reminded me of De Niro where he does a lot of crass crude stuff to be funny or that was what the writers were offering Dafoe.

Sucked they cut off the closing credits and wonder do they show it full during the repeats?

He was not gay in that movie

Outside of the cold open not being very good, I thought most of this was halfway decent to mildly funny, which is much better than it usually is. But they really didn’t utilize William Defo very well

I was watching it live and noticed they were running long after the final ad break, so I'm not surprised they cut the credits. Good question on what will happen in repeats. We'll probably find out in a whole month or so.

They showed the credits on the Hulu version. So I assume it'll be on repeats.

Thank you for that pointless clarification.

I thought it was an ok outing too. I liked the Blowing Yourself sketch as well, particularly this cutaway:
Anchorman: Um, let's just go to Sports
Sports guy: Nah, I wanna see how this plays out.

That final sketch didn't look well rehearsed. Hosts and cast members are always known for reading from the cue cards, but they made such little eye contact with other people in the sketch, it really looked like it was the very first time they'd even seen the lines.

Peyton Manning has excellent comic timing. The way he delivered the "And we got a fresh take on feminism......FINALLY" had me rolling.

Also chuckled at the "Up" song, particularly the part where Chris Redd mentions suddenly remembering something embarrassing that happened all the way back in high school and being unable to sleep. Don't know about y'all, but that happens to me sometimes, and it's friggin' stupid.

Since I've mentioned I don't care for pre-recorded, backing tracks, overly staged and choreographed musical guests, you can all guess how I felt about Katy Perry's performance. But those mushrooms...they were supposed to look like penises, right?

I only caught the Blowing Yourself sketch and I admit I chuckled a few times.

Yeah, that was good. Usually the last sketch is a bizarre "throw it at the wall and see if it sticks", and is really hit or miss, but this one was pretty decent.

That final sketch didn't look well rehearsed. Hosts and cast members are always known for reading from the cue cards, but they made such little eye contact with other people in the sketch, it really looked like it was the very first time they'd even seen the lines.
There may have been some last minute rewrites, maybe they tweaked some lines after the dress performance earlier in the evening.

Oh, and I see Chloe Fineman is left-handed. Always love a fellow southpaw.

Really hope NBC is doing everything they can to have The Linda Lindas as musical guest this season.

Maybe they can get Amy Poehler back to host and have them as music guest.
