She was in the crowd during a recent basketball game and decided to start twerking in a thong. lol Some thought that it was inappropriate, and that she should have been booted from the game. variety.com/2019/music/news/lizzo-twerks-in-thong-courtside-at-the-lakers-game-nsfw-1203429582/ |

I'm officially tired of Scarlett Johansson / Colin Jost references on SNL! When she hosted the show, it made sense that they acknowledge that the two of them are engaged. The joke she had in the monologue about how if the show bombed the worst that could happen is that it would hurt her fiancee - but they don't rely on his paycheck anyway was a great joke. That they chose to make out during the closing credits and remind people they were together again was a little much. Then, this week with Adam Driver hosting they had to throw in another joke about him working with Scarlett therefore he's kind of kissed Jost. Enough! We know the two of them are together. Move on and be funny!

OMG, they brought back Debbie Downer for a corona virus sketch! I feel asleep after DC's opening which I thought was hysterical with the "Bond" gambling skit. We watched allot of "HUNTERS" and got to SNL around mid which was (in my mind) actually 1am. I will watch this week!!! OT I had read about the OPENING of the new Bond movie earlier. DC mentioned it last night. Actually thought that was a great idea as people may be uncomfortable going to the movies now. So TPTB will wait until the FALL. I wonder if others will follow suit in waiting on Openings? |

I’m very curious to see how this is going to work. Though I think if it was an hour and a half of the cast on a zoom chat I’d be entertained.

Is zoom like a newer version of skype?

Sort of. It was designed more for use in business meetings, but it's an easy to use app, so everyone started using it once social distancing became the norm.

Unfortunately, Zoom has a lot of security issues that have caused it to be banned by quite a few companies, including Google and NASA. I feel like if SNL doesn't do a Brady Bunch sketch this week, it'll be a lost opportunity....although maybe that's low-hanging fruit  |

We've been using it to teach or chat with our students, but there are lots of security measures we have to take, with good reason. Zoom has been updating its security too, so they're trying. It's become very popular with schools during this crisis, but with extra tight security of course.
It's a lot of fun! Just don't be like "Poor Jennifer" (YouTube) who went to the bathroom forgetting her video was on! LOL
I saw the ad for SNL earlier tonight, and thought it was a mistake! I'm glad to hear they're going to try to go live! yay!

All things considered I think they did a really nice job with this remote episode. They stretched their creativity. I loved that they even did an at home opening where they could have used the pretaped one. It was funny to see some of the characters we’re used to - Kate as RBG and Larry David as Bernie Sanders without the hair and make up. They were also creative getting Alec Baldwin in as Trump without the makeup.
Without question I thought the most impactful parts were the tributes to those the cast lost to COVID - Michael Che’s grandmother and Hal Wilner. When Che signed off as Martha’s grand baby I choked up. And all of the stories told about Hal Wilner were great, but the women of the Fey/Poehler/Gastayer era singing Perfect Day was fantastic. To me, those two segments showed what great therapy laughter is, and how much the people involved with this show needed to do this episode.

I agree it was super creative and I applaud the effort. My favorite was the sports announcer and the matches and the popcorn. I also liked the dating skit.
The tributes were heart-wrenching. I had to skip over Hal's because I just cry all the time now.

Totally understand Beerbelly. When you get to a place that you’re ready, it’ll be on line and is worth going back to.

It was fantastic- I think the balance between humor and the two tributes was done well.
Kate is so funny and continues to impress me.

Also, I loved seeing inside people's homes. So many of these stars are rich and live in the country or escaped to their country house. I mean, Colin! Just a guitar on his leather couch? Jeese.
I wanted to see Bowin since I saw his opening shot and was all "yup, he's in an NYC apt. like the rest of us." Also, Kyle Mooney has a country house?
And Kate - she does no wrong! Did she make those posters herself?

Brad Pitt playing Dr. Fauci in the opener made my weekend. I hope Fauci gets to see it since he joked about Pitt playing him... |

I am very impressed with all the work they are doing to make these shows work! Pitt was great. And I loved how Kate made different cats out of the same cat! And Keenan had a great show! It was the right time to bring back What’s Up With That - especially since they included Jason dancing!

This show put me in a good mood. Really creative.
I can relate to Bowen's apartment the most. Where the heck does Kyle Mooney live?

That grocery store commercial had me in hysterics. The part about substitutions was a bit too close to home. Poor Dasani water That was probably my favorite of the night, or at least it was the one that made me laugh the hardest. I've never been a fan of the "What's Up With That?" sketches, so I ffwd through it. It got kind of panned in the articles I read, but I really enjoyed Pete Davidson's music video this week, with cameos from Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider. I also loved Kate McKinnen's sketch with her cat. |

Another thing I love about them doing these shows is that years from now when we are through all of this, these episodes will be a time capsule to remind us of some of the things that were reality in this window of time. The zoom sketches, the grocery sketch, the "sports" sketch in the first one, etc - they recap what was top of mind for us right now.
