TV: SNL Season 48

[Tasty Biscuits]

I mean, What's Up With That with Diondre Cole is one of the greatest evergreen sketches in the show's history. Plus he's had numerous solid Update appearances, with Willie (original) Big Papi and Lavar Ball (impressions), off the top of my head. What Kenan can do, which most cannot, is play supporting roles that might only have a couple lines max, and still get laughs.

A good sketch troupe needs a variety of performers. You need your big character creators and also your glue performers. How many characters did Chris Parnell create? He was one of the most invaluable cast members during his tenure, a super talented performer.

Guest Bobby Monahan and no Ass Dan?!

‘SNL’ staff writers boycott over Dave Chappelle’s hosting gig

The comedian, who’s set to helm the iconic show this weekend, is still getting backlash about transphobic jokes in his 2021 Netflix special “The Closer.”

This has to do with the fact he writes his own stuff when he hosts and all sketches he does

 

[NyQuil]

The sketch with Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock reacting to the Clinton-Trump election results in a room full of white people was hilarious.

I like Chappelle so I am looking forward to him hosting.

 

[Jumptheshark]

at least he turned into the crazy

Chapelle’s monologue was 17 minutes.

Chapelle’s monologue was 17 minutes.

The opener and his monologue took up almost a third of the show.

and that was a good thing

 

[Langdon Alger]

and that was a good thing

Yeah, the rest of the show kind of sucked.

 

[John Price]

Lol at all the staff protesting Dave Chappelle

You missed a good set

 

[Langdon Alger]

Am I the only one who thinks that Punkie Johnson adds nothing to this show?

For me this has to do with the fact he rights his own stuff. Last time he hosted there were rumblings over the fact the writers who usually write the opening monologue were told "nay, he got it". There are 3 writers, whos only job it is to write the monologue, so I can see them having a problem and not sure how many skits he did, but he wrote or co-wrote all of them--so that cuts the writers out more.. The fact non of the actors had a problem tells me that the problem was not with his position on things but in the fact they were cut out of the writing process

when Andrew Dice Clay and Steven Seagal hosted, actors, writers and other stuff walk out in protest of those shows

Dave Chappelle’s ‘SNL’ monologue slammed by ADL for normalizing anti-Semitism

The comedian said he grew up around Jewish people and has Jewish friends “so he’s not freaked out by your culture.”

She's added nothing so far.

Oh, I’m terribly sorry I was off by 1 minute and 48 seconds.

I hope you feel shame.

Comedians always write their own monologues.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I hope you feel shame.

I usually do.

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

how about this for an idea? let chappelle do his monologue from the beginning to all the way to the end of the show. it would have been SNL's funniest 90's minutes in over 30 years.

actually no. Staff writers have input into it--with Chapple there was none

 

[Jumptheshark]

here is the official run time of the episode from the cold opening to the final credit

67:57 total run time

Key points
cold opening 06:40
Opening credit: 02:04
Weekend up date ran 13:33
Opening monologue ran 15:14
Black star part 04:17
Blackstar part 2 02:

total time 43:51 leaving 24:06 for total skits(-02:13 for closing credits)

got bored and looked into it and well--I would love to see what did not make the show--

For those who stuck around for the last skit--I think with a little more love that should have been the cold opening--I actually sat through the closing credits--they had to get some writers and production staff members up there to fill out the stage

and I openly admit--I did a double take when I realized Mos Def was part of Blackstar thought it was in jail for tax evasion or something

 

[Stylizer1]

actually no. Staff writers have input into it--with Chapple there was none

This is what comedians do for a living. It is a fact that they write their own monologues.
