So I was in the airplane getting back from Phoenix earlier last week and flipping through the in-flight magazine I saw this Amish mantle and fireplace...they call it a miracle invention. It says it looks just like a real fireplace, but it looks like a picture of a fireplace up on a mantle. I was chu...
Writers Need Credit
Original at boards.nbc.com
• Sat, Nov 14
What I would request is that at the opening of a sketch, in the lower left or right corner of the screen, a writing credit and sketch title be given so those of us who have grown up watching SNL and see it as a great constant in television (and nearly the only constant NBC has) will be able to furth...

All that money and no good writing! WTF?

Sheesh, if it weren't for bad writing on Lorne-produced things, like "Black Sheep", maybe Chris Farley wouldn't have died. Lorne just kind of seems like an arrogant, megalomanical, or two in the grand scheme of things. Why do we keep letting charlatans like Lorne dumb

Is Lorne Michaels out of his ******* mind? He gets the funniest woman on his show since Cheri Oteri, & he lets her go after a couple of seasons? No wonder SNL sucks so bad now. When I saw Angie Tempura on weekend update for the first time, I thought, "All right, here we go... SNL is on its way back."...

TV Guide online does not list Weekend Update Thursdays in its line-up. Neither does Comcast cable. THe SNL website says, 8 p.m. before Parks & Recreation, but all I see is "Community." Can someone please help because I always miss it! Thank you so much!

They did a skit and the Phoenix logo, or a close resemblence was displayed; I am a member of the Phoenix online school. It is by far one of the hardest things in my life that I have done; going back to school as an adult, a full-time mother, a full-time care-giver for my dad who is 100% total care no...
Opinion: Building from a Strong Foundation

• Wed, Oct 14
Wiig and Sudekis are extremely strong character actors and impressionists, and accordingly, they've been given a lot of screen time, but unfortunately, they are often stuck with very one-dimensional, go-nowhere sketches. So, seeing as though Wiig is probably one of the most simultan...

Howie and Mike on Larry King last Friday night was a riot . An OCD Howie and Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. Mike would be a host kids would even watch. All ages watch Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. This is his 5th season 240 dirty jobs. Mike is so many things most people don't know about . An Opera Singer, Articul...

University of Westfield Credit where credit is due, this was the ONLY decent part of the show tonight. How embarrassing is that -- that this was the ONLY thing worth watching tonight?! The mumble at the end by Jenny Slate was great and it was good to see the fringe cast members in on this sketch.
I’m Embarrassed for the Cast

I’m embarrassed for the cast of SNL. There is such great talent that is being wasted by the writers. Sorry Seth....but you have to step it up. This was one of the worst episodes. You have one of the most talented actresses hosting SNL and you blew it. Did you just get high and drunk all week and say screw it...

Wow, I swear I was dead during those two performances. Could they find a more boring musical guest? A lady sitting at a piano singing; I thought this was SNL, not some lounge. What ever happened to good musical guests on SNL? It seems they're so generic and personality-less now.
Script Copy

Hey everyone! I'm in Drama class right now and for the final exam we have to say a monologue. I think the Will Ferrell monologue from his most recent gig here on SNL would be hilarious and awesome to do. Anyone know where I can get a copy from it to show my teacher? Thanks in advance.

I just knew for sure SNL would spoof the many conservatives openly celebrating the loss of our country's Olympic bid!!! I mean, this ultra-patriotic, "Country first" party of "value voters" openly CHEER their country's lost Olympic bid because they do not like Obama? How could you not p...

In other SNL news, the show's longest running cast member's name — Darrell Hammond — was missing from the opening credits Saturday night. As recently as last week a rep for the show said he would be back in some capacity, but despite his appearance on Thursday's Weekend Update, he wasn't in a...
If you were in charge of SNL, who would you fire/hire and how would you get it funny again?
Original at boards.nbc.com

I personally think Lorne should probably move on. I think he's too caught up in making all his other shows work that he can't give SNL the focus it deserves. Keenan would definitely be replaced. He's seems to only be a part of the show so that they have somebody to impersonate a black guy. He was goo...

Weekend Update - Jokes: about the same as always. The Rosie Perez bit was a little flat. Although in the past the guests often detracted from the flow of WU, they have now become the highlights of the WU spot. This time Armisen returns after a quick makeup change for his amusing, if non-pc, portr...
Question about Lawrence Welk Show skits

They have had a few Lawrence Welk Show skits with Fred Armisen on SNL lately, and I'm wondering if the 4 sisters are supposed to be based on real people. If yes, what are their names? I thought I heard Armisen say they were the Mahara sisters, but I googled that name and found nothing.

Shouldn't it it be unacceptable for any politician to yell out at any president of any race (or gender or religion or sexual orientation...) during a speech? Apparently, like you, most of the media believe it was acceptable when such things happened to George Bush, Bill Clinton or any of the o...

I love the commercial parodies. My favorite has to be the one about Annuale, the once-a-year birth control pill. In fact, this site even names it as one of the funniest birth control moment on TV. 6 Funniest Birth Control Moments on TV

Was it really Don Pardo's last show? He hinted at it while getting inducted to the Balitmore Broadcaster Hall of Fame..SNL should have had a tribute to him. He's been with NBC since 1938. Shows a montage of all the times he's been on camera...re show the skit of the life of Don Pardo...

JUDGE JUDY IS TO LEGAL SYSTEM WHAT THE WWF IS TO WRESTLING (both are fake and only for TV): The joke is very few know about it. (In fact you should have Judge Judy overseeing WWF wrestlers claiming their gig is not fake).

No matter what happens in November, Amy Poehler's impersonation of Hillary Clinton on Saturday Night Live will be remembered as one of the high points of the 2008 election. Bossy, bouffanted, totally absurd, Poehler's send-up helped earn her an Emmy nomination, the show's first suppor...
Pale Force - suggestions for new episodes?

Some ideas for new Pale Force episodes. 1. Sometimes the Pale Force team might not be able to defeat the evildoers all by themselves. Why not team up someday (not necessarily too close) with Ace-n-Gary (from SNL)? 2. Pale Force plus the Ex-Presidents
