Not even Steve Martin can help SNL - Page 2

I think Lewis Black can be insanely funny.

SNL in the 70's had great moments but also duds. The show has always been that way. Even the best casts had bad skits in every single show. Nature of the beast. At some point though people got really lazy and they quit learning lines. That just makes it worse...

Did it ever occur to you guys that we just don't do the drugs we used to when watching SNL ?

I think the first time it was foisted on Jane Curtain, and the SNL audience it was kind of shocking. Not sure if her reaction was genuine..

Perhaps in subsequent episodes it morphed into "dirty whore"

I believe there were several variations.

Speak for yourself.

Maybe SNL will go away. That'd be a shame....

They jumped the shark when they started trying to manipulate elections. Now they can suffocate in their own excrement AFAIC.

Tina Fey's, "Palin" routine was beyond brilliant!! Never was one so perfect in looks, voice, facial gestures and body language. I figured her nationally recognized performace as Palin took poor ole Sarah down a few notches in the polls before it was all over. She did a great job showing Sarah a true ditz! This was only matched when Dan Akroid played Carter. With that, indeed SNL has its ups and downs, but will never be the same as when Akroid, Belushi and Martin ruled in the 70's.
