With everything coming out of the debate, this is like being thrown a softball. I'm almost certain that it won't even live up to my expectations, because honestly....how could it???

How do you make a comedy show based on real life, which in itself has become a comedy show?

I'm sure they'll knock it out of the park though.

There isn't a new SNL episode this week. It doesn't return for season 50 until September 28th.

..........well god dammit. I haven't seen SNL for years, and the ONE TIME I want to watch, it's on break!

Although I did see a youtube compilation of weekend update where the white guy and the black guy write each others jokes, and try to embarass each other. That's good stuff.

Got a link? I never watched the show but I often watch videos from the show and that sounds like a good one

Here you go. Search youtube for Che Jost joke swap. They do it a lot.

It's Michael Che and Colin Jost, they do it every year.

My hope is that, when the show comes on in a few weeks, they don't even parody Trump. The actor who plays him reads his statements verbatim, because he's so far beyond parody.

Before you get all excited, the new season doesn't start until 9/28.

Thank you, was a little confused for a moment.

I'm sure they'll be making the same handful of jokes they've been making since 2016. SNL is truly played out by now

I see it completely the opposite. they can't possibly field something funnier than that debate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Ah, just as well. I found out via this thread that there is no episode this week
