[00:00:04] is the Ten to One Podcast with your host Brad Omen featuring Ben Conowitz and Nate Laux and here's the podcast. Hello friends, welcome. Welcome, welcome. Good to have you. Good to be back. What are you doing? NPR's delicious dish over here? Yeah, delicious dish. It

[00:00:27] did feel a little, it did feel a little like professional. Like sweaty balls. That's enough. Okay. All right. All right. Hey, Brad, if you're going to be so angry, why don't you just talk then? Talk about things. Just tell us what we should talk about. Go ahead.

[00:00:39] I'm sick of people just telling me how to live my life. Wow. So this is the Saturday Night Live Review Podcast where we talk about the latest episode of Saturday Night Live and this week, musical guest, 21 Savage and the host, Shane Gillis. You know, there's

[00:00:51] a lot of people that did not like the musical numbers this week, but I wouldn't know what is a good 21 Savage song. So you're not a big listener? Not, you know, I don't know his whole discography. The song we hear is like, I'm gonna do a rap

[00:01:06] song. I got a big old song or rap. That's dead on. Yeah. I don't listen. I'm old. I just don't, I don't get it. I'm just old. That's all I have to say about that. I just need some like Puff Daddy or Notorious B.I.G. or

[00:01:21] Mace. Do you remember Mace? Do you guys remember Mace? I do remember Mace. And the S was a dollar sign in his name. He became a pastor. Did he really? He did. Yeah, why don't you know this?

[00:01:30] He got out of the game. Well, I know that Mace exists, but I mean, I didn't know he was a pastor. No, I don't go to his church. You don't have to go to his church to know

[00:01:37] he's a pastor. I don't know every pastor. I would have thought that a pastor who just doesn't know that a rapper became a priest or a pastor. Just because I'm a pastor doesn't mean I know all of the pastors. You don't have to know him personally.

[00:01:48] Yeah, so I mean if you haven't tuned in to Saturday Night Live this weekend and you didn't know who Shane Gillis was. Yeah. Don't Google it per his monologue. Shane, I mean Shane Gillis knew that

[00:01:59] that was going to be a thing. So yeah, if you haven't heard of Shane Gillis before he hosted somehow, Shane Gillis was once hired as a featured player by Saturday Night Live. In 2019. With Bo and Yang, right? Or no, Bo and Yang was his replacement.

[00:02:14] Who's hired with Bo and Yang? I thought Bo and Yang was the one they brought in afterwards. They all were there. Was that Melissa Vianc and yours here too? No, Chloe Feynman,

[00:02:24] I think was the other one. Anyway, so he got hired and then a few days later he was fired before... He was unhired because he didn't really get fired because he didn't really

[00:02:31] start to work. So he was just unhired. No, but he got hired. They rescinded the offer. They announced his... Yeah, he had been hired and he was fired. Okay, well, that's semantics. If you read the trades, you'll see that they used both of those

[00:02:42] words when they described the situation. He was fired because there were some racist and homophobic remarks that he had made on his podcast that he co-hosts with Mark McCluskey. Is that his name? Something like that? I've never listened to him. It's like Shane and Mark's comedy fun bag

[00:02:58] or whatever the fun thing is called. It is the number one podcast in America on Patreon. He makes $180,000 a month on that podcast. Now some of that was fueled by the fact that because he was fired by Saturday Night Live for making these remarks.

[00:03:13] So people get very excited about the cancer culture. He has turned this into a career for sure. Yeah, absolutely. And so him having him come back to host and now that he is a bigger stand-up

[00:03:23] comedian, he has his own special on Netflix. He's been hanging around with the likes of Dave Chappelle for better or worse. That can only be for worse. And so he hosted Saturday Night Live, which is a big thing. It's not usually comedians

[00:03:36] on his level that are getting this kind of gig. It's kind of shocking because he's not a household name. He's not as big as Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K., those people who are at huge selling out

[00:03:48] arenas and stuff like that. And Shane's not quite there. They did do George Carmichael got it. He's not. George Carmichael is one of those people who I feel like that's a cool one to have on because he's very respected among comedian circles.

[00:04:04] But I also think if we're just talking about nobody knows who he is level. He's also been in movies. Yeah, but I don't. Do you think though, Shane Gillis, they brought him in because he is very popular amongst the let's say Joe Rogan group. Oh for sure.

[00:04:19] And so bring him in because that is the demographic we don't have really strong right now. So it was do you think it was a little bit strategic for sure bringing in a different

[00:04:29] type of audience? Yeah, I mean they're not done. They want more eyeballs. This is a good move. If you were trying to get more eyeballs no matter what it says about or at least different eyeballs anyway. He is a successful comedian. He's he's making a living.

[00:04:43] The idea that we all need to remember obviously is you have your base people of like my friend Liz she will watch SNL every week until the day she dies. She's an SNL fan.

[00:04:54] SNL is not marketing to her. Right. They should be marketing to the Joe Rogan crowd because again, there's nobody watching already. So that's that's more eyeballs because you've got this base level that always watches. So how do we get more? So they used to do it.

[00:05:07] I think they used to do a lot more through musical guests. Remember when BTS was on? Yeah, there was an enormous ratings bonanza for SNL because they got the most popular band in the world to be on. I mean anytime Taylor Swift's on anytime these larger

[00:05:20] musical acts are on or different music. Do D definitely definitely P.O.D. is P.O.D. everybody. I don't know. I don't know back in the early 2000s. They were pretty big. Yeah, was Creed ever on? Oh yeah. Oh I'm sure Creed was definitely. Hey listen,

[00:05:37] I mean Creed should have been a multi guess. They were for about three years. They were awesome. Can you take me higher? Okay. You cannot do it. You cannot do it. So anyway, this is episode one of season 48. Yep, sure is.

[00:05:58] Hey by the way I did just look it up thanks to SNL archives.net. Creed was on November 17th 2001. Once. There you go. Guess who hosted then. Wait say the date again. November 17th 2001. Tofran McGuire. John Goodman. It's a good guess. What?

[00:06:16] John Goodman. No, Ashton Kutcher. There you go. That kind of group of Tofran Grace. Ashton Kutcher was the comedy Tofran McGuire at the time. Yeah, the comedy Tofran McGuire. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. Okay. Anyway, this has been fun. Well that's the episode. Thanks so much for listening.

[00:06:35] Well let's get into the show. We started off with our favorite, a political cold open. Trump victory party cold open. Senators Tim Scott, James Rish, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio, played by Devon Walker, Mikey Day, James Ashton Johnson and Marcel Hernandez. Discussed Donald

[00:06:51] Trump over a meal. Let me say this. We talk about these cold opens often about the political cold open and we just need to kind of sit in there and deal with it because that's

[00:07:02] what's going to be until forever. And we're not always a huge fan of it. Not because we don't like political sketches because they're just often pretty lazy. And I think all three of us agree it is the first foot forward for viewers and oftentimes

[00:07:19] the cold open is the worst sketch all night. Right. And so let me give a compliment to the sketch because there's one thing I want to say is nice sets. It was short.

[00:07:31] It was a great premise. I liked the premise of the sketch. I think there was humor to be found. I know, I will agree. I know you're making a face. I thought it was poor execution.

[00:07:40] But the idea of all the bad things Trump has said about this group of survivor, you know, these senators that are cowards that, you know, but all the things that he has said poorly and then they're like, no, no, no, but he's the greatest president ever.

[00:07:52] There's humor in there. There is humor in there. It just was it was stilted. It wasn't one of those things we say you can't just repeat what they say. Right. But in this type of sketch, you can because that's where it's impactful. Didn't he really

[00:08:07] honestly say that you're a piece of shit? Yeah. Yeah. You told me they verbatim told call me a piece of shit. See for me why this didn't like work for me on that level though is because

[00:08:15] it would be an amusing premise if this didn't actually happen. For me, this was one of those things where like this is such a sad state of affairs because these are actual politicians who have been completely ridiculed and just skewered by Donald Trump. And then they come back

[00:08:31] and lick his boots and kiss his ass and suck his toes and all these fucking things. And now like it's, but like you should laugh at it, but I just feel sad because like that's

[00:08:40] just what's happening. Like this is they're not fully really not really doing a sketch. They're just repeating what has happened, which is what they do a lot with with like political humor. I think this is different though, because instead of just

[00:08:51] getting up there and impersonating Tim Scott and saying the things he said, this is taking the things that the Donald Trump had said about them verbatim. And then the punchline is then that they're obviously still licking boots. There's something to be said.

[00:09:04] But that's my point though, is like that's what they're actually doing in your life. So it's not funny to me. It's just, it's annoying. What I think would have made it a slight, again, we're idiots. We need to put that out there.

[00:09:13] We're not writers for SNL. Every writer on SNL, whether you were there for an episode or longer, smart on us. But what I would have liked to have seen more is a little bit

[00:09:20] more awkwardness in there. Do you remember when Will Ferrell did a sketch with a family sitting around the table and you could hear the, oh yeah. Yeah. It's such a funny premise. It was really a patient sketch. Like I would have done something a little

[00:09:35] probably more in that line where they're afraid to say it, but then they say it and they all experienced the same thing. So you're all getting bullied by the same thing. You know, there is that, that, that non pause in this sketch where they didn't let it,

[00:09:47] they give it much time to breathe because but the nice thing about that one sketch is the pause you still had something to focus on, right? There was still something going on. Well it's tension building. The pause in this looked like nobody knew their lines

[00:10:00] to me. Like it just, it just didn't seem deliberate. Well thankfully that didn't happen throughout the rest of the night. Yeah. It was. Oh, perfect Hicksy shoes. Yeah. The whole way through. And this isn't really a Shane Gillis thing. This has been the

[00:10:11] fact for a lot of the episodes this season for me. Like there's just been some stilted, just not, not really good choreograph type of sketches in my opinion. So some of that I think is a Gillis problem though, because the host can totally throw off the rhythm.

[00:10:25] Yeah. Also you have to remember this guy was hired as, imagine you're hired as a feature performer, right? And then you don't get the job, right? So it means you have no practice

[00:10:35] and then a five years later, you're the same level of sketch performer that you were going to be as a featured player. Now imagine you're a featured player and you're asked to host the very first week. Yeah. That's what they did with Shane Gillis. And of course he's

[00:10:48] not ready to host because he's not a sketch performer whatsoever. He's got no experience. But Nate Barghassi has even, you know, he was still pretty stilted here and there, but not as bad as he was. But I felt like Barghassi did a little better job.

[00:11:01] But all right, let's move on to Shane Gillis stand up monologue written by Shane Gillis. Host Shane Gillis does stand up about coaching sports, his family and owning a coffee shop. He brought in, if anybody has listened to his latest Netflix special,

[00:11:13] there were some things in there that he brought in, particularly the down syndrome bits are in his Netflix special. So you can do comedians do this often. You can do one, I thought that would be get a bigger laugh. You could do one of those. Not four?

[00:11:28] You can't keep doing it because any more than that and it just starts to look a bit panicky. It's a reeks of sadness. Yeah. And it can almost come across insulting to the audience.

[00:11:40] I will say, I looked at the r slash life from New York on reddit and from redditor fortuna fortuna two is dead. I said they were at the actual taping. And they said, so this is the one time

[00:11:57] I've been to a taping of SNL so I don't have an in person audiences to compare it to. However, I've been to stand up and improv shows in LA and New York City and even been in audiences

[00:12:07] for sitcoms, comedy specials and Conan. My impression of the audience last night was that they were not particularly responsive at all. The cold open was pretty much dead silent. The monologue was scattershot. He was legitimately responding to the live audience when he said

[00:12:22] he thought it wasn't going well. The rest of the show had highs and lows in terms of laughter. Some sketches and pre tapes had more robust laughter and other ones felt like they were just drowning. So it was basically describing every episode of SNL ever?

[00:12:37] No, but I will say I did feel like when I was watching it, the audience was not really into look at the band behind them. Much of it. Yeah, much of anything that was happening. Like even the sketches that felt like they worked, they weren't laughing a lot.

[00:12:50] I do think it was a tough audience to that SNL performers will tell you there are sometimes where they're hitting the marks. It is a funny sketch. It works online. You know, online goes viral and the audience just doesn't work as painful as it was to watch

[00:13:06] stand up comedians monologue not go well on live TV on a scale of like a Saturday Night Live. There was something about it that was actually kind of endearing to me because you mentioned

[00:13:16] this in our text thread that we have where it felt like he was doing pure stand up. He's doing the kind of stand up that you do at a club where if you haven't a crowd that's not working very well,

[00:13:25] you are going to bring it up. Yeah, you make fun of it. You know, and he did make some decent laughs about it too. He's like, I can tell this isn't going well. I can

[00:13:33] see you guys. I can see the people not enjoying myself, which is a great bit that you would do in a club. And which again, in that thread, I did bring that up because he treated it like a

[00:13:43] real stand-up set for real and because he's a fucking stand-up that only knows. So I did think I agree, Brad at the same time, the audience being that cold, that stuff. I mean, and again,

[00:13:53] you're allowed to punch down when it's your dad. Like make fun of his dad and say, okay, good work. And I think part of it too, like because his material touches upon things that

[00:14:03] yeah, more sensitive about they weren't maybe sure if they could laugh at the Down syndrome joke or even the joke of saying like you're gay for your mom. I think that's a really funny bit.

[00:14:13] And I normally don't every little boy is gay. Is their mom's gay best friend? I thought was hilarious. That's a great joke. And I read, I don't really don't read about SNL at all,

[00:14:22] but I was so curious to see like how the liberal honestly, some of these woke really crazy land is like, well that's not and it was I read article after article where it was just like,

[00:14:34] you know, you're really still allowed to say gay in a model. I'm like, oh my God, is this really what we come to? Like, I don't I don't like any of that. Like I'm a very big

[00:14:42] liberal, but I just feel like that's a funny fucking joke. It's not about being gay. That I pointed out in my review too is someone like Bo and Yang has not been shy about expressing

[00:14:54] when he is upset about certain people being at SNL. It was very clear he wasn't happy about Dave Chappelle being there. He posted a thing and ended up deleting it about Nikki Haley being

[00:15:02] there. He's not shy about expressing that kind of thing. Hey, Brad, what did Bo and Yang do at the end closing credits? They hugged each other. No, and actually actually hug each other

[00:15:10] upfront in front of the camera, not in the back where it's hidden. He was very happy to see Shangyul. And I so I think that they probably have first of all have a kinship because

[00:15:19] they did both get set up live at the same time. They probably have been running the same comedy circuits for years because that's what happens in your comedian who's just running the gamut.

[00:15:26] You go to the same clubs, you go to the same places, especially if you're in New York City or something like that. I know it's a hot fucking take to say that Shangyul is funny.

[00:15:34] It is a hot take these days because he is funny. But the problem is much like five years ago, Tom Segura, his fan base sucks. Right. Tom Segura's fan base sucks. I've been to Tom Segura shows in Indy and it's a bunch of monster energy drinking,

[00:15:50] duly truck driving. Yeah, you tell them, yeah, yeah, for it's what's up like that's because he got the truck dots. It's yeah, they believe that what he's in T shirts 100% because they can't afford tap out. Yes. It's 1000% that and Shangyul has that problem

[00:16:05] because he's marketing himself to the Joe Rogan experience. So you've got to be these people are are yeah, yeah, yeah, make fun of them are words, but he's not if you watch the fucking stand up

[00:16:15] and you pay attention to it there. It's a lot more new. He loves his uncle. He loves his obviously loves course. He's literally been a coach of the Special Olympics. He's not doing that to

[00:16:24] make fun of him. Moron is the jokes he when he that he makes quote unquote about people with Down syndrome. They're not jokes like at their expense. It's about the practicalities of

[00:16:36] like what they have to deal with like that joke about how like the restaurant where they employ downs with your people is like, you know that they're just bringing out apple juice for everybody.

[00:16:44] We still haven't figured out how to stop that. Also, he's got a joke in his Netflix special where he says that, you know, I don't know. I've been around a lot of people with Down syndrome

[00:16:52] and they love two things. It's women and John Cena. Now that's it's a very good fucking joke and it's not punching down because it's a generalization of course, but the fact that

[00:17:02] like he's been around it and seen enough of it. That's not to me. That's not punching down. Yeah, exactly. It's making an observation and that's there's a huge difference there. We've just lost a lot of nuance. That's all. No. And so like if someone like Bo Wenyang

[00:17:13] is like on the level with him and the remarks that Shane Gillis was in trouble for were both considered homophobic and racist against Asian people, Bo Wenyang is cool as Shane Gillis. He can't be this like villain. I feel like.

[00:17:25] So Bo Wenyang will call out anybody that he is. Even the most woke article that I read about Shane Gillis's SNL, that writer even put in context, I haven't even seen the stuff he got in trouble for,

[00:17:39] he even put in the context of the article and yes, the podcast remarks that were made, sure you can make the argument that he was playing what a bigot would say instead of

[00:17:49] him actually saying sure you could say that. But so it was still even, even he was admitting that it's a little murky how that came out. So again, is he making those jokes or is

[00:17:57] he making jokes about people that make those jokes? It's a very fucking fine line. And I'm sorry, in this day and age, you have to be able to get into the weeds with nuance

[00:18:06] if you want to have a real opinion to me to tell me how I think. Especially in comedy. Exactly because it is so fucking nuanced. It was interesting because there was a lot of former SNL people like Jay Ferro,

[00:18:17] Melissa Villes, Yor that commented on the SNL Instagram how funny the monologue was. Like they wanted to put their backing behind. They thought this stuff was really funny. There was a lot of good stuff there but as we'll see he's not a great sketch or performer,

[00:18:35] he's a stand up and if the audience would have been a little bit more receptive to that type of topic. But to Brad's point, the audience probably didn't understand if they could laugh at that. They weren't going to be the butt of the joke by accidentally

[00:18:47] laughing at something like that. I would love to talk to Shane Gillis to see if that's how every live stand up essentially for him goes is you have 10 minutes of awkwardness and then everyone feels permission to laugh.

[00:18:58] And then they warm up to him because there are comedians that can do it really well where they push the buttons. We've said this on our, I don't know if it was on this one or if it

[00:19:07] was on our other podcast, go fix yourself. I don't know how Bill Burr does it because he finds a way to get through some of the most controversial things. Famously has one particular performance I believe, I think it's in Boston maybe that

[00:19:23] all these comedians talk about it's the one where Bill Burr goes up and it's a festival and they are just shitting on him for like the first 10 minutes and he just leans into it and

[00:19:32] just yells at them and then by the end of it they're standing and applauding for him. He's one of the rare guys that can pull that off. I mentioned this I think last week, Louis C.K. has said and again we're not fans of Louis C.K.

[00:19:44] he's what he done and everything but he did say for yourself in an interview that Shane Gillis is one of the only comedians he knows that can say what he says and kill at a room in Brooklyn.

[00:19:54] And for some reason he doesn't have to be in Louisiana or Alabama or you know these maybe white supremacy hotspots where he'd be famous. There was another poster I cannot remember their name on Reddit that went to the pre-show what is the one? Dress rehearsal.

[00:20:09] Come on Nate you're hostess there. I'm not gonna say that buddy. Went to the dress rehearsal and said that the audience was better and so he did not have to do a lot of the things that he did there like it was clearly he was feeling it.

[00:20:25] There was some right I thought that joke would kill in the dress rehearsal as well so he knew that joke wasn't gonna be well. But he didn't have to quadruple down? But he didn't do it 10 times. Yeah.

[00:20:37] So yeah I thought for all the problems the monologue did have some good stuff in it obviously the audience didn't go with it very well so it felt awkward it felt stilted

[00:20:45] and I do wonder if it kind of informed how he felt throughout the rest of the night because it's not gonna give you a lot of confidence. Yeah and it was felt and maybe he's just not that great of a sketch performer to be honest

[00:20:56] at least when it comes to live stuff and we'll talk about that as we get on so let's let's get into the stature. All right Church on Vacation written by John Higgins, Martin Hurley, he been Marshall Ego, Wodum and Ash reward.

[00:21:07] Parents played by Shane Gillis and Heidi Gardner drag their children played by Andrew Smukes and Molly Carney to church while on vacation in Jamaica. Ego was on it in this sketch great performance by her I didn't dislike I actually

[00:21:22] thought Shane Gillis defined in this what did you guys think? Yeah I mean this was one that kind of leans into like him being awkward throughout the entire episode honestly they utilized his like shlubby white guy energy to

[00:21:36] its full potential kind of in the same way that they used bad bunnies lack of like not speaking English very well to its full potential. But I also think that they that's the right move the wrong move is the Jacob Elordi where

[00:21:48] they just use the hump the dumb hot guy and we're lazy about it yeah this seems purposeful in the right way is that does that make sense yeah there was creative no there was

[00:21:56] and there was a variety of approaches as to like what kind of like awkward white dude he was playing as well we'll get into that later but yeah and so like yeah it's you know hearing him speak with

[00:22:06] the Jamaican accent suddenly very funny it was you know Heidi Gardner clearly thought it was funny too because she kind of laughed at a couple of them so yeah the the pacing a bit awkward and it's something that you'll notice like pretty much was a problem throughout every

[00:22:16] sketch in the evening so like it's hard to nitpick you know down right king you know he retired there they're very very long time direct I agree but I don't have a couple key

[00:22:28] retirements or deaths I don't know I want to certainly I don't think it's a directing pacing issue I think some of it was just like isn't he the one goes camera two camera three sure that

[00:22:36] isn't him yeah but that's not the only pacing problem in the sketch it's not it's not a lot of all season though we've noticed so long though like wrong cues on the cameras of course

[00:22:44] but I'm talking about like I'm talking about line delivery no I don't you know that like whose turn is it yeah and this episode I will say Shane Gilles was was responsible for kind of

[00:22:55] a lot of that where it's like it's his turn or is it not it felt like there was a line or two missed at times and that you know of course I don't begrudge the guy though he's not a sketch performer

[00:23:03] I will I will say that because and based on the model I tried but I will begrudge him a little bit though because like if he got hired for Saturday Night Live then he should have

[00:23:13] some chops I think that his problem and is lies in live sketch comedy because the pre-tapes he's very good in the pre-tapes I said it before though you would not have your feature performer have

[00:23:25] that much screen time with that much going on an episode so I don't begrudge him because you would not have a guy that barely joined SNL headlining which is what they basically have

[00:23:33] to do sure but at the same time like they've had plenty of like younger act up and coming actors who right not but not there's actors not saying no no I know but they haven't

[00:23:41] done live sketch comedy before and that's different than anything if you're a movie star for your TV star and you're not you don't do something live it's still different I think there's just a huge difference between somebody who has only come around stand

[00:23:51] in the background like him and anybody who's ever acted at all that we'd be at stage or movie or I'm sure he's done some sketch comedy so still no he's done a ton on YouTube but

[00:24:01] it's all pre-recorded that's that's the thing is live not live yeah yeah moving on rock bottom Kings a sports betting app advertises a new gambling feature the sketch features Kenan Thompson Marcelo Hernandez and Shangillis the ad feels right to me the the execution of the pre-tape was

[00:24:20] very good this seems like an ad that you would see which is always nice when they can find enough mimicry there to feel like an actual commercial or ad my issue with this

[00:24:31] there was no escalation in the pre-tape doesn't go anywhere and so I liked I didn't dislike the premise and there were some funny things there but they gave it away early and then never

[00:24:43] went in there just did more of the same kind of yeah and everyone was like there was no escalation like not just in the joke or like how it evolved but also among each of the people in the

[00:24:53] commercial like you would think that maybe one of them would get more intense or like desperate or start to feel bad but for the friend or something but because they had such a good

[00:25:03] setup of how that really goes in a commercial they locked that in and kept it and that's the mistake I almost feel like they could have like spiced it up by having one of them be like a

[00:25:11] celebrity because you always see fucking Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart and you know Lufa Rigno I don't know if he's actually doing but they're doing those especially those celebrities that aren't working as much anymore but still have the recognizable name right the Lufa Rigno type

[00:25:27] of people right probably sure they don't have enough time resources to do this but I always like the idea that you could cut from that to like a guy that is actually on the app like in his front yard

[00:25:39] watching his buddy and then she's walking out and he's like praying like if she gets in the car I fucking win my parley and I'm like she gets in the car drives away and he's upset and your

[00:25:48] buddy's like yeah that's the kind of escalation I wanted to see yeah it is I like the premise just not escalation and I do think the execution the feel of this sketch was good yeah just no

[00:26:00] escalation yeah it's good good production value all right HR meeting written by Mike Desenzo John Higgins Martin Hurley he Ben Marshall and Jake Norwin I guess we know why we don't have a please don't destroy sketch this week because those guys are busy writing on the sketches

[00:26:15] two HR representatives played by Chloe Feynman and Bo and Yang holding a meeting about workplace relationships the sketch also features Chloe Trost as Laurel Ego Wodem as Carly Kenan Thompson as Eric Michael Longfellow as Clark introduces Robert Sarah Sherman Puggy Johnson Heidi Gardner and

[00:26:32] Marcelo Hernandez first trap Marcelo Hernandez is booty khakis I didn't expect you to be wearing those tonight Ben but I'm glad you have one you know what it's from the Hernandez collection

[00:26:45] and they are they're made for smaller people though so I am I am my thighs are bursting at them Brad you and I might I did not read your review I try not to read it beforehand I do

[00:26:55] try to read it I just tried not to read it at all yeah I actually thought Shane Gillis's was really good in this sketch I thought it was funny and I think it's this is one of the

[00:27:05] sketches where his natural energy as far as like just how he speaks and stuff like that works for this kind of character yeah it was supposed to be kind of an awkward conversation yep so yeah

[00:27:15] it definitely worked in his favor in this sketch and then they're like wheels turning type of thing well so then if I do this then I you know hold on now I just thought it was really good he did

[00:27:25] really well yeah so like so it'll reset next year it's like no there's no resetting that's like uh but yeah like I can I bank them could I use them could I buy them from it like

[00:27:37] that was all great because it was conditioned yeah I really I mean I'm sorry guys I really thought this was great I laughed hard I did too see I thought it was pretty amusing I like the

[00:27:47] premise live but this was one of those where I felt like the stilted even though Gillis works better in this for this kind of sketch and the character he was playing because it still felt

[00:27:58] overall stilted didn't land for me quite as firmly even though I still enjoyed it like I liked it but the entire night honestly was whenever there was a great sketch I was just like oh it would

[00:28:08] it's just held back because like Shane's not the best sketch performer you know at least in the live sketches I thought that was good I thought he's fine I thought it was really good and actually

[00:28:18] I laughed at Shane Gillis more in this sketch than I think so except one pretent yeah but it resets at the end of the year it's just really good all right moving on Trump sneakers written

[00:28:30] by Mikey Day, shooter Seidel a struggling man played by Shane Gillis sees a turnaround in his life after being gifted a pair of magical sneakers from Donald Trump the cast also features Keenan Thompson

[00:28:41] Mikey Day, Devin Walker, Andrew Smukes, Sarah Sherman and James Austin Johnson if you have not been paying attention there was actually Trump sneakers that were put together kudos to those who designed these very very quickly and got them in a sketch because they looked good

[00:29:01] I think maybe they just bought a pair I hope not I hope not I don't think they would but some asshole paid $9,000 for a pair what Shane Gillis has a pretty famous Trump impression so he was

[00:29:12] able to do it here he doesn't my assumption is this is why the sketches it's just Shane Gillis is actually pretty skilled impressionist well I'm willing to bet this is probably why

[00:29:20] he was hired at the time because he was hired before James Austin Johnson came around and they the only Trump they had was Alec Baldwin and so I would imagine that they were hoping that he could

[00:29:30] be their Trump and then obviously that went to hell so they needed to find somebody you know and that's where James Austin Johnson is so he's gonna host and he's gonna break out that Trump

[00:29:37] impression because this is a pretty good one I did like I did like I like this awesome Johnson and him head to head because it does show you two very talented impersonators and they're different takes on the James Johnson is better he has the James Austin

[00:29:51] Johnson's is more cartoonish and he he has a lot more of the subtle traits that's the thing he's subtle the way the way he does filler filler conversations and the breathe-in thing that

[00:30:02] down Trump does but I do appreciate Gillis though because Gillis this feels a little more grounded a little more realistic sounds kind of more like him yeah but again that's not necessarily a good

[00:30:11] thing we're doing in a press there's almost there is almost a level where it can almost become too good well when I saw this I was like oh yeah his isn't as good as James Austin

[00:30:20] Johnson but I just meant it's not as pointed yeah there's just not it's not as funny yeah I like the premise of this though the idea that because Donald Trump is that guy right oh yeah

[00:30:29] he is all about claiming things that he doesn't earn and that the sneakers essentially turn you into this that was a two-hour love making session the only reason we're not going again

[00:30:38] is because you're tired yeah no I this was a little I said doing a riff on like Mike with these magic shoes was was perfect it's good and then the fact that he starts slowly looking

[00:30:47] like Trump and everything to it worked out really well this was a very well done what you guys think of the by bringing the Biden stuff in there I thought the velcro shoes was really funny honestly

[00:30:56] you didn't need it and I feel like they did it just to be like no we'll be fun of Biden too and here's Mikey Day shitty Joe Biden impression yeah Mikey days it was bad it was it was

[00:31:04] fine it was do a pre-tape like five seconds long though when I didn't it didn't bother me did James I'm not happy because it was the end and you didn't need it oh sure

[00:31:14] does James I was also doesn't have a Biden sure I think yeah he oh he I know he did Biden when I saw him do stand up in Chicago and it's it's good so if you've got a pre-tape you can have him

[00:31:25] do both right but you want but you want the same person who's gonna do it live and I'm pre-tape so like Mikey Day is clearly their person now so get what you get all right get what you get

[00:31:35] moving on my Biden but give me everybody I'm Joe Biden oh jeez oh yeah I told you doing the violence get a jokes too all right what the floor game show contestants is this a real show played

[00:31:51] by Shane Gillis bow and yang Heidi Gardner and Ego Wodum compete for a cash prize by identifying as many photos as they put they don't just show you photos right the show I don't know about Michael Longfellow as Rob Lowe not doing Rob Lowe

[00:32:06] to be fair the only way you can do a Rob Lowe impression is if you do Chris Traeger from Parks and Recreation otherwise I would have done honestly I would have tried to do some of those

[00:32:14] he did a little bit of the cadence though because I saw a little bit over there I think it was great this was you know what and it what's your what do you Rob Lowe I've done an impression

[00:32:23] oh that's hard okay so much the oddest and most abrupt ending of the night yeah someone someone let an unfinished script get on to the show yeah it's so so weird such a mess and

[00:32:38] like I think that what made it extra frustrating was that we've seen premises like this executed far better before where somebody doesn't understand you know like the the racial nuances of history and things like that and other people there was something that was kind of funny about the

[00:32:54] way Gillis was just casually going through ah yeah pass I thought he was funny in this actually go Warriors pass yeah because he's like knows enough and then the defense is like I just didn't

[00:33:04] want to get it wrong yeah because that's worse than the night which is the latest right and you've all been in these positions where we forget things because we're under the pressure

[00:33:13] and I don't want to be wrong I don't want to be wrong here still I think he did pretty well in the sketch actually yeah I go Wodom's part she did fine but I didn't it didn't have the

[00:33:23] same effect as no what what Shane Gillis is did so the escalation there kind of lost a little momentum and then this is just fizzled out what was that I have no idea yeah was there some I don't know if

[00:33:38] you've watched the sketch like rewatched on YouTube at all but um if you rewatch it you'll you'll see as soon as they fade you'll hear Shane Gillis laugh so I don't know if there was

[00:33:48] something there that didn't work out something didn't work yeah exactly you just hear him kind of do his Shane Gillis yeah um he did it a couple times though at the end yeah it's like as soon

[00:33:57] as the sketch was over he was like okay come on everybody let's go it happened in the sex doll one too yeah well well we're gonna get to that we're gonna get to that yeah oh okay we

[00:34:06] end up a trump wins south carolina primary biden raises 56 million dollars for campaign we can update anchors collin joes to michael che tackle the week's biggest stories like the alabama supreme court ruling frozen embryos our children well let's let's talk about the

[00:34:24] bradymeter really really quickly brand get on your calculator app now cap calculator app right now and yeah because put your number because we don't we don't believe that maybe you're not uh you're

[00:34:33] not doing it right we've been friends for a long time we still trust you yeah uh so the bread armor is is yes there is influenced by how good the weekend update bit is but it's more about do

[00:34:45] collin joes and michael j have that little un unsaid unsaid vibe connection are they having a good time with your and a lot of times said connection where they kind of make little jokes

[00:34:54] to each other that's the bread armor the higher the number the more likely they were really goofing around having a good time with each other and i think that they goof around and had a good time

[00:35:04] with each other a lot this episode oh really i didn't i'm gonna go i was gonna go 55 whoa really they they they they directly talk to each other a couple times yeah but it was fine

[00:35:16] i'm going 80 all right what do you got breb and survey says 75 see i didn't like this weekend update i didn't think it was great i didn't think that we get up there overall was great but they

[00:35:26] did have moments where they did directly interact with each other it was it wasn't like a riot or anything like that but there were definitely definitely interaction and then some interaction but i didn't think it was great collin telling that racist joke basically that definitely michael

[00:35:39] j wrote the back three month graphic and collin was hilarious that that was the one thing that was the one thing that i thought oh that that's a great little bit um that's going to go on

[00:35:48] the bread amon is going to move that up a little bit but i didn't think it was much better than than 50 percent so well you know you need to know bread a little bit more so what did you guys

[00:35:57] say i'm always right on this yeah you went on my god one um so it's not prices right rules and it is always has been it always has been okay so what did you guys actually think of the

[00:36:09] the jokes in the structure of the weekend update i thought it was okay i didn't think that the guests at the desk were particularly we're gonna get to those yeah yeah the uh but yeah we'll

[00:36:20] talk about that here in a second yeah the the joke jokes themselves i didn't think we're good we're fine not not super memorable i think it's one of the worst honestly for me for the

[00:36:26] season oh there's a word i laughed but i just there just wasn't a lot of good stuff in my opinion and then it made it was made worse by the bits so we can update bit of frozen embryo from

[00:36:37] alabama a frozen embryo from alabama play by morcella hernanda stops by weekend update to discuss the state supreme court's recent ruling um so essentially alabama is gonna ban IVF treatment

[00:36:52] all of the stuff because they believe an embryo is a life and so you cannot discard a life so then IVF is out all these kind of things i love morcella hernandez i love him i think he's a

[00:37:05] fantastic cast member his stand-up is wonderful but this would have been better in my opinion with sarah sherman and uh maybe even a super dry michael longfellow would have been really good here

[00:37:16] i didn't think he was thinking that the michael longfellow is the guy that is really doing well with the big yep bold character work i don't i don't i don't know if this for me his person uh

[00:37:27] the the marcello hernandez personality well what did you guys think yeah it just i mean there wasn't really a lot of sharp writing here like especially because they kept repeating that wait

[00:37:36] how do you know this and it's like yeah we get it he's a fucking embryo move on find some find a different joke to make um it just wasn't all that great of a bit like they spent so much time

[00:37:44] on this and they didn't really have anything strong enough to like drive it to make it worth it they've done these things before where there's been a major change in you know human rights or

[00:37:57] women's rights and then excessively strong is going to come on and do something that weekend or something and do commentary even michael longfellow as a cigarette butt yep was great this would this did not meet the moment i don't think and the comedy wasn't great what did you

[00:38:11] think ben no it was i mean to brad's point right uh how do you know that and then it's the same kind of like i don't know what i know you know but you know the a couple jabs at common like

[00:38:21] i'm just an uh an untalented white blob like sure but if you're gonna do that and attack jose then let me hear sarah sherman doing it and nobody gets to say this just in on the weekend

[00:38:32] update this desk anymore unless it's sarah sherman right because she she owns that now she owns that now this just in no i this i of the two this is by far the the worst one because i actually like

[00:38:43] the truman capote one all right let's move on then we can update bit truman capote on women's history month written by allison gates will steven and ken sublet truman capote played by bow and yang stops for a weekend update to communicate to commemorate women's history month

[00:38:56] uh you've said this many times ben there we go that women are like kombucha full of use and technically alive i mean so it was nice to see that actually work into this i really think that

[00:39:08] this it just worked like uh he i don't know why so it brings up a million a heart and he just goes look at that hat and then by the third one he's like look at that hat that got me like

[00:39:19] just the fact that they're all had hats on and then he's just making these outlandish because betty ross because she can only count it 13 these are so they're really funny jokes there was a lot of

[00:39:29] people that said you know obviously this is a very dated impression truman capote but apparently ryan murphy's doing something yeah i know it's top yeah top right now because there's it's from the show

[00:39:39] feud it's like capote versus like the swans or something like that and so like it's it's literally about people didn't some some people didn't realize that actually truman capote is actually a having a cultural moment right so if you're if you don't if you're not worldly enough to

[00:39:52] know that and then start shitting on it without actually looking up if you're right or wrong like that i don't have room for you and also guess what sometimes you can do fucking random

[00:40:00] impressions of people who aren't like in the news or anything right now i i think grow up just clearly dream of what he has a very real uh thing you know where he's shit on women

[00:40:11] and so he was just a very caddy individual in general yeah in general but like watching bow and yang work like this was great i thought it was very funny he was having fun too what do you

[00:40:18] think of it bro yeah no his his impression of capote is great he was he was having fun he was joining i didn't necessarily think it was the strongest bit to do at the desk but i would

[00:40:27] definitely love to see bow and yang playing truman capote again if given the opportunity i won't be upset about her rosewell pushed him down this the audience didn't laugh because it's too soon

[00:40:37] for that joke like that's that's the kind of so going with this audience really you're not gonna laugh at that that's a funny fucking joke there's the ability to be a little bit of

[00:40:45] staphon in here too where you're continuing to bring up pictures and truman capote gets to kind of riff on them right or like something there where it could be recurring i think like you said brad where bull yane brings this character back and riffs on even contemporary

[00:41:00] pictures and things like i think it was great i would watch it again all right moving on gump written by mickey day john higgins martin hurley he ben marshal and strider said del

[00:41:09] was because i was a short voice busy busy busy busy bees former students played by shane gillis mickey day introduce muc's cloy fineman heidi gardener and james oston johnson are attending

[00:41:19] a high school reunion i like that they connected it to this idea that like shane gillis is a character from the movie he's the one that was driving the truck i also like that we all have

[00:41:31] friends that clearly peaked in high school and our living while you're looking right at me no reason peaked at high school still going up baby but i thought it was fine i didn't think it

[00:41:45] was great you know what this sketch does it shows you how much people still remember the nuances of a movie that came out in 1994 for sure because the lieutenant dan stuff hit the jenny stuff hit

[00:41:57] the mama stuff the bubbles it all hit yeah that's that's the that's the mark honestly of a joke after a while yeah you you lose it or the or a 20 year old audience doesn't understand that

[00:42:07] but man when come on man stand up that was great i laughed knowing what was coming i laughed really hard at that it was still a little stilted for me at times like and it's and it was mostly gillis

[00:42:20] his fault his like he can't help but just read straight from the cue card and it was really frustrated it's too bad because he does well in it like he like when he actually can can feel

[00:42:30] a little more comfortable he does well in this role but agreed he didn't he didn't read it real well yeah it didn't really take it out of that too much for me though i still enjoyed it a lot

[00:42:38] now ben how would you feel if heidi gardener gave you an award that you peaked in high school i would take that award and now it's not sniff it a lot i would i would i would accept all right all right moving on fugliana written by mike

[00:42:53] descenso jake norwin sarah sherman and ash reward a commercial advertises an average looking sex now well yeah and i'm sorry looking sorry i'm gonna interrupt you just brought a heidi gardener she shouldn't have been in the sketch you can't make her look all right the sketch also features

[00:43:07] james austin johnson as robert s mickey day's doug z andrew smiths as macalay and sarah sherman heidi gardener pucky johnson cloy five minutes fugliana dolls i honestly think all four of them have a hard time being ugly of course when i was watching this sketch you know what

[00:43:23] i thought is i think how do i get one of these no i think how ben was infinitely excited when he saw heidi gardener had a sex doll i messaged i think how moody would have done really well as

[00:43:35] one of the guys in this oh yeah i did well that's just mean i honestly don't think that some of them did an awkward guy really well james austin johnson doesn't do an awkward guy in here

[00:43:48] for a while i don't think i think how moody's awkwardness where you almost believe you know that you don't have to be the same though and i appreciate that they were differing levels of

[00:43:57] average kind of weird yeah i just i felt like this was a sketch that how moody would have excelled in and i kind of missed him in the sketch what'd you guys think of yeah i this was

[00:44:06] one of the ones that i liked more i think uh than than the others and it was very ser ser shermany yeah well and i think a lot of the laughs came from watching the the women and

[00:44:16] their physical comedy just the way that they like monkey johnson just and he's like you know not now they just slowly lean over and fall over uh sarah sherman was especially like making gillis break

[00:44:27] and so yeah it was it was a lot of fun and watching them do the physical comedy and then having the guys be be awkward and like just the the premise was was fun and it worked better

[00:44:35] as a live commercial than it would have if it was a pre-tape because of that yeah um but and i do wonder so what do you guys think at the very end it was the last line plan yeah when sarah

[00:44:44] sherman did i don't i don't think gillis knew i don't think i think that they i think it was planned but i don't think gillis knew that it was yeah there was a surprise there for him did she

[00:44:51] talked normally yeah well she's because she says what did she say it's um it's like she's like oh that's weird or something and he's like oh yeah you were supposed to talk yeah yeah definitely

[00:45:02] like a pre-planned thing for her to do to him and they were having fun again another sarah sherman gives i think a big hug at the end too they seem to get along fairly well

[00:45:11] yeah i liked it i thought it was really funny because he that was genuine surprise on his face for sure yeah i liked it all right moving on they're listening a group of friends played by shane

[00:45:22] gillis heidi gardener sarah sherman devin walker and introduce mux discuss how technology listens to them um this one's most stilted of the night yeah this was the one that i i truly felt that like there was something really funny here it wasn't always shane gillis either

[00:45:38] because somebody else missed their line and it was just it was well i think shane gillis missed one line then heidi gardener just moved on to her line and then it just there was there was

[00:45:46] like a ripple effect and because and because shane gillis's character is supposed to be reading from his phone and instead he's looking up over like in the corner where the cue cards are yeah

[00:45:55] there's technology now guys just put it on the phone it did put the lines on the phone that is a good point it did seem like this was the least rehearsed i do like the premise though

[00:46:03] i have seen people complain on my you know forums and stuff like that it's happened to me about the the ads we're like can we get can we get the can we get the site to change these ads because i'm

[00:46:15] getting like like porn ads and stuff i'm like i'm like dude because of your search history right like that's how cookies work but i like the premise of that mom thinks that the phone's

[00:46:25] listening it's like mom it's not listening but what it is doing is reading your text messages and reading your best friend's text messages and reading your your brother's text messages

[00:46:33] there's enough of that and if if so if i text alex my brother what we should like we need to get mama coozie for her cup for christmas my mom's gonna start to see coozie ads because clearly

[00:46:43] that's how that works i will lean into the little bit of the conspiracy side of this though there have been times covid wasn't real no when ads have popped up and it's been for things

[00:46:53] that i have not texted about recently but were mentioned in a conversation with with somebody and so and if that person at all texts anybody else about that subject whatsoever i was talking

[00:47:05] about the other day we talked about it'll show up on your thing because the internet knows you're connected i don't believe that that's so much easier than if your phone is listening to you

[00:47:15] that doesn't make sense that's not true at all it's way easier to think that your the apps are just listening all the time no we're not getting this but the level of data

[00:47:23] that these companies have on everybody and the level of how much they know you know people like like they know that you and charlie young are very good friends because they're listening

[00:47:33] we get it thank you thank you ben for telling me yeah they're listening all that how data works data phone calls your data buddy i don't think they need to literally charge me for data

[00:47:41] exactly they don't know but they do so there all right that is the episode we do have one one uh cut for time sketch should have easily been in this we're going to get into that yeah

[00:47:51] so if you go to the s and l youtube page any sketches that they cannot reuse usually because they have the host in them right uh they will they've recorded them and dress rehearsal and

[00:48:03] they will put them on you know what i want to i want to start to see pre tapes featuring old hosts in new episodes like hey listen this was not going that well put that

[00:48:12] shankillis one in all right limu imu and dug written by street or sidal with a sis from rosebud baker and steven castillo in this cover time sketch things goes things go off the

[00:48:24] rails when limu imu and dug played by shankillis from liberty mutual try to help a customer play them or sell her nandis with insurance such great puppetry in this sketch it was it was

[00:48:38] genius it was hilarious i get it i could have done it's only like a two minute sketch it literally could have fit exactly in the slot that the rock bottom king's one does and i don't know why you

[00:48:48] don't replace that one with this one it is it is honestly one of the funniest sketches i think i've seen all year it is it is really fun and it's not like it got pulled because they didn't

[00:48:58] like they got pushed back from the lawyers about liberty mutual because they put it online yeah so it's still out there so we know that because originally i thought oh this is really it's like

[00:49:05] the safe flight commercial from when and that one is gone back bet it did that that was horrible also hilarious yep i get it right but maybe they you know i'll dump it online but don't

[00:49:18] make it part of the show so we don't get backlash again now no i don't know i i do wonder what the decision making was here because it's very funny it's it's it like this dark if you haven't

[00:49:27] seen it go online right now check it out it's hilarious riffing on training day is only two minutes isn't it yeah it seriously is just two minutes long so funny the the poster i talked

[00:49:36] about earlier on on the subreddit that's not subreddit did talk about at the end the director or whoever it was directing the sketches was panicking about getting this this last sketch done um the their listening sketch but that might just be always the last sketch sure the

[00:49:56] director doing that i don't know go to the good night yeah because and again the good nights normally if it goes a little bit short then you can fill in so i thank my mom and the music cut in

[00:50:06] and they were cutting him off because he was he was about to say you know thank you to the cast crew he got to thank 21 savage and the two other people you know what's weird so i only noticed

[00:50:16] this because i went and looked up to see if uh you could see more of of the good nights afterwards to see what happened between bowen and and shane because i saw that they were getting ready to

[00:50:25] go toward each other and then but uh here in our neck of the woods the affiliate i think cuts in sooner to start whatever show comes after snl even if the good nights like the credits on snl aren't finished

[00:50:37] because there were videos online that did actually show yeah shane and bowen hugging so it obviously played longer somewhere else i watched it on peacock and they did hug there so that yeah so

[00:50:48] the affiliate definitely cuts in on live then so which is really nice so fuck you nbc yeah because i didn't have to look that up online and all i saw it yeah i don't i don't i don't i watched it live so

[00:50:58] i saw him cut out but i did end up seeing because i wanted to see you know i want the t right did you go back cast members i think i started on the i think twitter uh that's now twitter page

[00:51:08] puts it on there just guys just watch on peacock i watched it live on peacock i watched it on i watched it live on mbc i watched the recorded on my youtube tv so ben wins again so all right

[00:51:20] that's the episode let's get into our mvp in favorite sketch of the night yeah who'd you guys tell me nate i honestly don't have one i wasn't sure who to go with tell me nate um i'm gonna go with

[00:51:32] tell me nate wow okay no it it was really hard for me because i didn't think there was a ton of standout for me but i'm gonna go with it's sarah sherman sarah sherman that's exactly

[00:51:45] it's sarah sherman it was sarah sherman or james oston johnson but but james oston johnson just was in a decent amount of sketches i don't think he had any standout it's sarah sherman sarah

[00:51:53] sherman's uh role in the fugliana sketch was really really good i thought she did really well there so i'm gonna go with her i go vote him had a pretty good ben i go vote him had a pretty good

[00:52:05] night too yeah i guess it was sarah sherman's microphone yeah it was sarah sherman which anything i go had a pretty good night sure okay best sketch of the night can we do the cover

[00:52:16] time sketch no for me it was trump shoes you like that better than that cover time yeah i know i think the cover just a bit just a bit i thought the cover time one was just a bit i love the

[00:52:25] premise of it just a bit i thought it was great what would you say cover time bed um yeah i mean the cover time one is is is hilarious but if it had to be a live sketch i

[00:52:35] mean i still think the gump one was great i thought that was it was really unexpected that they would do a forced gump sketch trump shoes better i think that that's i said i said live right i said

[00:52:43] if it had to be live it doesn't have to be live it has to be one of the normal sketches i know but i just said i've never ever said it had to be live though so why would you make this situation i have

[00:52:51] talked about that before no we know it was a pre-tape and then i go yeah but as far as the live sketches i like this one the best and we definitely talked like yeah but whenever you

[00:52:57] pick your best it can be a pre-tape or a live it's the cover time is the best and then my second favorite one is the live gump one but you didn't have to specify like that well

[00:53:07] picking live sketches but i didn't think it was it was there a terrible sketch yes which one the floor yeah that was that was not you know what i though i do think there was some funny bits i thought

[00:53:18] it was terrible about the black stuff not recognizing that rock bottom kings was pretty bad too that was fun but it wasn't terrible i think that the worst one was the listening one

[00:53:27] it was just it was no because that one was like that the sketch wasn't terribly it was just executed poorly i didn't really laugh i laughed yeah i laughed so you think they're actually

[00:53:36] listening no just because i think that the idea of it being a green bay packers butt plug that plays the team's fight song i will say when he when when that song started playing and i saw where

[00:53:45] it was going i did start laughing that's pretty that's funny all right that's the episode we'd love to hear from you comment on this post where we posted on our twitter and our facebook page
