I liked this past week's, easily the best of the first three this season. Of course Kanye's bizarre presidential visit gave them great material to work with and they finally went to the Cosby well. Seth Myers was in more sketches (all of them?) than he ever was while a cast member it seemed. While he obviously reading off cards he did that well and of course he popped up during Weekend Update. Two weeks off.

Everyone reads off the cards. It might be the most annoying part of the show at this point. Every character in every sketch looks like they are staring off into space. And some of them can barely even read, it seems sometimes. I watch old sketches, and that is not what it looked like.

I agree it happens way more ever since the Fey/Fallon years. I think it's because they create more sketches now, and force themselves into a lot of last-minute revisions.

Plus they probably spend a lot of the week on pre-shot videos, which often end up being the only things that even approach funny

They absolutely do more pre-filmed bits ever since Lazy Sunday broke out, but I don't know that they're necessarily any better. The Julio Torres pieces rule, though.

This is another reason why I love Adam Driver. He had his shit down pretty cold in the premiere. Or, at least, it appeared so. Hardly (if ever) saw him looking at cards.
