She was working on a fictionalized Tiger King project for Peacock (see the synergy?). I can totally see her playing that bitch Carol Baskins, I assume that’s her role.

Should be an interesting watch tonight…

Numerous members out due to covid protocols, including Lorne…

Musical guest pulled out, might get someone interesting to sub…

Jost opting out, rumored Tina Fey on Update…

No studio audience either, obviously.
I wonder how different it will be for the viewer? We’ll see.

Wow, I hadn’t heard any of this. It’s a must watch for me.

four cast members out, three calling in sick

sounds like they're going with no musical guest

Say that was one of Pete’s best skits ever

That was a lot different than expected but you know the show must go. Probably would have been a really fun episode.
It was neat to feel like you were sitting in on an Update rehearsal. I liked Pete’s piece too.
That’s an episode though that will go down in SNL lore.
Who knows when the next new one will be or if it will be like the quarantine episodes from a couple seasons ago?

It'd been ages since I saw the Carl Sagan's Christmas sketch. What a hoot.

Lorne says he’s hanging it up after the 50th season in a few years. Who takes over?

Apatow?

Fey?

Conan?

Kenan?

Keenan would make me so happy.
Fey would be an obviously strong choice.
Conan wouldn’t want the commitment.
Apatow would be a disaster because he’s not funny.

'Saturday Night Live' is ushering in its first 2022 episode, on Jan. 15, with 'West Side Story' star Ariana DeBose as host and Roddy Ricch as the musical guest.

I don’t know who either of those people are.
I have not seen any other hosts or musical guests listed yet.

Guy misspelled Rich

Rowdy Roddy Ricccch

Cold open, NBA on TNT were the only funny sketches in that whole ep.

I hate how much I enjoyed the bleachers performances. Sorry to trag on that one as well. Antonoff is a fucking clown and his whole shtick is kind of annoying but I also really enjoyed the songs. Ugh.

Eric Adams sketch went on way too long. Great performance by Redd but that thing went on about 5 minutes too much.

Pretty bad episode i think. Heidi Gardner is not funny at all.

I thought it was an okay but forgettable episode.

That steak house skit was the worst thing ever

Ryan Phillippe looking rough. Holy shit.

This is a pretty common theme for most episodes … at least from what I gather during the occasional glance at this thread. Makes me wonder why so many of you still watch the show.
