Saturday Night Live: Season 48

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

When was the last time you heard about him?

He is selling out theaters. He’s a really good stand up so maybe he would have broken through despite SNL firing him but I think the alt right championing him didn’t hurt.

Honestly just purely people that would know how the show works day to day you could not do better than .Higgins, Marci Klein, Downey, Franken, Lindsay Shookus

Maybe Seth Meyers

 

[strummer]

Chances that if Tina takes over people will think she's the first female in charge?

Keep Jean Doumanian's reign alive

 

[Valeyard]

Franken burying her and show is still one of the best moments ever.

Poehler could be capable. She's doing so much more behind the scenes stuff now. I think creatively it would be a very rough couple years at least until any footing was found, though.

Jane Curtin Reflects on Early 'SNL' Days and John Belushi's Troubles: 'He Was an Addict' (Exclusive)

Jane Curtin, now starring in the quirky indie film 'Jules,' opens up about being one of the original 'Saturday Night Live' cast members in 1975, and what it was like to work alongside John Belushi

people.com

Jane Curtin seems like a real cool and nice lady (at least by New England WASP standards)

 

[Valeyard]

She's one of my all time favorite cast members.

Who's Afraid of Lorne Michaels? - Longreads

Very rarely can we see an entire system reflected in one person. The creator and executive producer of “Saturday Night Live” is such a person.

Hey. Seth Simons is still alive.

Idk where the “Belushi refused to perform on any sketches written by women” legend comes from. He definitely did some of those Marilyn Suzanne Miller slice of life, dramedy sketches. Like I am not going to say he was an ally but even Jane Curtin speaks somewhat fondly of him now.


Moral is Lorne really is the Vince McMahon of comedy.

This could be a rough one, @Valeyard .

 

[Valeyard]

It should be Gallagher tier in a just world. Or Mencia. Maron won't push him too much.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I wonder if Marc is going to apologize for being on the ‘01/‘02 roast.

Chevy’s wife had to intervene and tell Dana Carvey and David Spade that Chevy has some heart and/or memory loss issues when Chevy was on Fly on the Wall a year or so back. It was kind of rough but he was less ornery and dickish.

Like it seems like he is doing a bit where he is aloof for laughs but he is just legitimately sort of senile.

 

[Valeyard]

If he's deteriorating, they should weigh him every week live on the air to count down.

Jim Downey - Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

Comedy writer Jim Downey feels entirely unapologetic about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Jim sits down with Conan to discuss his favorite sketches from the early days of SNL, acting opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, and fine tuning Weekend Update with Norm Macdonald. For...

Now that’s more like it, Vale.

Phil Hartman tribute on Fly on the Wall podcast this week

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I know there is some sort of exception for the SAG Strike for actors who work on late night shows but I am really curious what the show will look like if they rush into production and the SAG Strike isn’t over. I heard they’re going to lean heavily on non actor hosts so it could be very grim.

Time for Howard Stern to host the show 25-30 years late. Although shit, he has to be a member of SAG cause of Private Parts!

 

[Brocklock]

Mr. Beast about to have the highest rated SNL episode all time y'all. But for real, it's probably only a matter of time before youtubers and tiktok stars regularly host.

 

[Valeyard]

Don't even joke about a world where Doug Walker might host SNL.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Don't even joke about a world where James Rolfe might host SNL.

 

[Valeyard]

He's in SAG. Ha.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

How quickly we forget Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie!

CWM will watch Vivek Ramaswamy host SNL but he is not going to enjoy it.

Serious suggestion…it’d be great to have Conan host again but he might be permanent on Lorne’s shitlist for not bringing him with him to The Tonight Show.

 

[Valeyard]

BTW if I remember right (and it's been many, many years since I've heard it or the show), Stern and everyone were still in SAG because they got free screeners of movies. Sadly SNL with Baba Booey won't happen.

Get AOC to host. It'd be awful but she'd have fun until she checked twitter the next day.

My man Brock Purdy needs to make the nation fall in love with him too.

If Roman Reigns isn't in SAG, which he likely is, he'd be fun.

You go Youtube or streamers, it'd just be back to the dark days, so I say go for it. A stretch of like Ethan Klein, Mr. Beast, XQC, Logan Paul, and Linday Ellis would kill the show harder than Ebersol.

Kurt Loder isn't busy.

Find musical acts to pull double duty. That might be best.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Late night hosts are exempt from the strike so we could get @BruiserBrody eagerly tuning into watching Bill Maher read cue cards.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Late slip, but I have to say I know of Shane Gillis, which means he must have some sort of presence. I likely caught him on something in the Joe Rogan extended universe.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

You'll see him on Kill Tony tonight after the Packers game.

 

[Fall of Epic]

I'm listening to Chevy on Marc Maron's podcast. Is this guy...ok?

He's Chevy Chase, and he's not.
