Per Wikipedia -

Megan Jovan Ruth Pete adopted the stage name "Megan Thee Stallion" because she was called a "stallion" in adolescence due to her height (5 ft 10 in) and "thick" body frame; voluptuous and statuesque women in the Southern US are colloquially called "stallions".

I love Tom Opus coming in here with some random facts about MEGAN DA STALLION.

Count Dooku

Da?

Count Dooku

This is odd.

TomOpus

Sorry, not an expert on rappers like everyone else. Just curious about her stage name.

Here I was just assuming that she used her WAP to ride that D like THEE Stallion.

Goldberg74

... and if you missed the news last year, she completed her degree in Health Administration at Texas Southern University.

GoldenJCJ

They are?

Do southerners realize that a stallion is a male horse?

TomOpus

Hey they call a soda "Coke" so who knows. I lived in the south for almost 5 years and got the hell outta Dodge.

windom

Fixed it for you.

Count Dooku

Without attempting a deep dive on the etymology of slang, I'm going to presume that using "stallion" to refer to a sexy female has its origins not in the generalized South of the US, but among young blacks living in urban areas of the South, and so the specifics of how the word relates to horse breeding was not on their minds.

windom

The whole definition of stallion is actually "an uncastrated adult male horse."

I'll spare everyone a complaint about the musical guest this week, as I already expect a hip-hop artist to use a lot of prerecorded material, and make it more about the "spectacle" than an actual ability to play music live.

OldBoy

I hope we get a Tatiana Maslany cameo.

She failed to impress me in She-Hulk and if I've heard any of her music I probably didn't know it.

Overall a "meh" show. Not good, but not terrible either. Stray observations:
Really thought Chole Fineman and Sarah Sherman were great as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer
Pre-filmed bit "Brought" was good for a bit, but wore out its welcome
Chloe Fineman and Heidi Gardner can park their flat butts in my bed any day of the week.
Best sketch of the night was the last one, the STEM school. It's not as over-the-top as a usual first sketch, probably why it got pushed back, but I thought it was the cleverest.

JeffTheAlpaca

I had closed captions for the hot girl hospital and still could not understand most of the lingo and slang.

Shivering sweater girls commercial and Brought and STEM School was great and should have been the first sketch after the monologue and not the last.

Weekend Update was great. It seems every week they have a new cast member do a bit on there.

Not excited about Jack Harlow as the next host but maybe Cecily Strong will be back?

If his comedy is as bad as his music we are in trouble.

RichC2

2nd half was better than the first, that's a rarity.

Coral

STEM was good and We Got Brought was decent but ran a little long... the rest is ugh.
Can they take a few weeks off without doing a political sketch? It's gotten old.

Whoever was doing the camera switching on the butt sketch was asleep. Constantly missing the action.

MTS did a decent job. The failures of this episode aren't on her (other than musically).

Double_Oh_7

Between the slang and Megan talking so fast, I couldn't understand a word she said. And does she need to wave her hands around so much?

Next time it's another host who is also the musical guest (never heard of him). Are they having a hard time booking people?

Count Dooku

I watched this on youtube and my old white guy ears could not follow the dialogue, so I turned on the CC and it didn't help. Lots of words omitted or just wrong: New York Presbyterian Hospital was CCed as NY Joe Biden Hospital

I noticed that too, especially with those looong nails she had.

Jack Harlow. I can honestly say I have never heard of this person before.

bchbdaddy

They really dropped the ball on the 29th episode. Should have been Ghost as music and Papa as host. Would have got alot of people talking about a guy wearing a mask in every sketch. Would have been a great halloween episode.

Wish I knew that, I bailed after Weekend Update, ugh this episode just didn't work for me.
