Although the material will have come as no surprise to fans of Glaser’s edgy material on her Comedy Central roast appearances over the years, some viewers found the jokes a step too far, especially since Glaser’s first sketch post-monologue focused on incest.
Wow this show is so wildly inconsistent, last week was pretty hilarious, this week I barely cracked a smile except for Pete Davidson’s spot on weekend update and the surreal musical bit. She was not funny once.
I mean, they are writing a new show every week. There’s gonna be some misses. The fact that they are inconsistent is probably why SNL has produced some of the best comedians and comedic actors for the last several decades - they aren’t heavily filtered or forced to produce “the best show ever” week after week. They are able to fuck around, do stupid shit, and see what people find funny - which is the same way every comedian develops a good standup routine.
Because of H1 Visa costs, they are running low on Canadians.
Yeah true, I mean it’s not like it was every 100% funny even when they had the best casts sometimes the skits were just garbage, or more likely, not my brand of humor.
FWIW, Weekend Update’s the only bit of SNL worth watching.
