Well, my head must be very low to the ground then as the purported joke flew right over my head. And the eyeball on my back didn’t notice it either.

How DARE they cut this for time!!!
God, what a balm to have (the increasingly queer-coded) SNL in the same week that Netflix was celebrating painfully unfunny straight men through their Roast of Tom Brady and Kevin Hart's Mark Twain Prize special.
I just know Bowen Yang was responsible for this sketch. Who else would combine references to Lauren Bacall's notorious 1970s High Point Coffee commercials and the recently leaked outtakes from Faye Dunaway's 1990s TV spot?

Overall a kind of rocky season, but at the end of the day my only real beef with the show is that Che and Jost are going to be staying on until season 50 when they just keep phoning it in behind the desk. They should've left by now, it's kind of awful.
Starting with Ayo Edebiri the last run of hosts were all pretty spectacular (noting here that Shane Gillis is not included in my praise!). Even if some of them didn't have the best material, there was at least a sketch in every episode I'd count among the seasons best. In his monologue Jake Gyllenhaal made a joke about how he was their third choice, but he took the show out on an incredibly high note. More of this please:

Yeah, I'm the furthest thing from a Jost & Che fan, but I usually enjoy their season finale joke swap. Even that fell largely flat this time.

All the talk of who will replace Lorne when he retires, I was very on board with the Tina Fey suggestion, but now I’m also enjoying the idea of Kenan taking over?
I don't know what season this was with Alec Baldwin hosting, but I completely missed this episode. I love these kinds of random, just-the-right-amount-of-weird SNL sketches

there was a tweet here which stated that Punkie told an audience that she was told to “lose her dreads” and to stop getting buff.

I've completely given up on this show but THIS IS SO GOOD FUCK!
Candidly, I don't think either is a big loss.

Apologies if this is a re-rant, but it really bugs me that they still insist on having people say “Ladies and gentlemen” for the introductions. Especially after they’ve had non-binary musical guests AND cast members (can’t recall any hosts off-hand, but regardless). It’s such a simple thing to change and I can imagine it being really frustrating to have the gender binary reified multiple times a show.

Molly and Punkie were both solid additions to the cast, especially on Update.
I'll be sad to see them go!

Also please get at least one woman - Ego or Sarah, preferably - to anchor the Update desk again. Please. Even speaking as someone who was never strongly anti-Che'n'Jost in general...it's time.

Maybe they can just keep Colin in Tahiti forever!
