I liked her on Girl Meets World which is already 10 years ago but as a singer not so much

What are you getting at


I know what you’re getting at and it’s not funny and I don’t appreciate it.

Chloe Fineman is doing ads now.

I hope most of the cast remains but if this is the last episode for Dismukes, Molly Kearney, and Punkie Johnson it will not be a big loss.

A guilty pleasure

Barry Keoghan is a lucky guy.

Did she hook up with him after watching Saltburn?

Fineman has been doing these horrible ads for over a year.

Sabrina Carpenter is Bart Simpson's niece.

I wiki-ed her to see how old she is. She just turned 25 last week, but I think she looks much younger because she is so short.

The SNL promo making fun of the origin of her name sounds dumb but it is funny

I thought Gyllenhall was good. The Scooby-Doo short was the highlight.

I thought the joke swap was a let down. The joke Jost did about his wife and the Kendrick Lamar joke that Che did were the best.

Agreed with everything you said.

Didn't know the Carpenter chick was in the Boy Meets World sequel thingy - never heard her music until tonight. At the risk of sounding like an old fart, it's quite sad what passes for popular music these days. Did she sing a single word/note live or was it 100% lip-synced?

As it usually goes with sequels, having a rabbi this year was a fail compared to the "civil rights leader" last year.

That "Me Espresso" song is a big hit, but I've never heard it before. Yuk. She certainly is great to look at, though.

Realized that 4 of the last 5 shows have had a musical number in the monologue. The one that didn't was host Dua Lipa.

I liked it though I am a mark for Jake Gyllenhaal and 90% of the movies he has appeared in are usually pretty good.

They should have opened with the NYPD presser on character actors getting punched instead of a boring Trump sketch.

Scooby Doo, Southwest Airlines, Cheap Fashion ad and (Ego Nwodim) was pretty hot in that.

The Beautiful Boys was pretty weak.

You know maybe it is time for the season to end when it is light outside around 8:30pm during the live show.

In respect to Belushi, Hartman, and all the past and former SNL greats and keeping the punk rock vibe I waited until 1am or after I finished Ricky Stanicky to watch the show.

Not a bad season ender. Man, it's gonna be a long wait until fall.

Damn, that would be weird watching this live while it's still light outside, I'm glad I live in the eastern time zone.

Anyone else noticed the dramatic increase in decapitations since Sarah Sherman joined the cast?

Re: SNL 05/18/24 (S49E20) — H: Jake Gyllenhaal - MG: Sabrina Carpenter (Season Finale)

My takeaway is that Jake is extra good at dressing up and playing silly characters.

Other than that, usual hit and miss SNL in its current phase.

You mean in the sketches or at 30 Rock? Because if it's the latter, they are really keeping a lid on that.

Yes, and keep them coming! So funny that you always know when it's a Sherman sketch.

Maybe. Jost and Day wrote the Christmas Carol one with Steve Martin Short

I asked myself the same question the moment she started the first song. I don't think a human can naturally sound like the opening of that song.

DST messing up our lives once again.

It will suck when there will be only repeats of SNL on the DVR and they stopped airing the classic shows so I can't watch them in the Summer.

When Jake was riding the bike was he wearing a fat suit since he had a gut?

I thought he kept himself in good shape or he needs that gut for a movie role.
