Saturday Night Live - Season 32 (1 Viewer)

No need to cancel the show entirely -- it might just be time for another house-cleaning. Can pretty much the entire writing staff and cast and start fresh. When they did that 12 years ago, the show found new legs (people like Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, and Darrell Hammond all came on the scene around that time).

So is Saturday Night Live in a direct contest with The Simpsons to see which show is the most un-funny thing on television?

I'm on the west coast and that part wasn't cut for me. I heard him say it.

I guess there are those people who don't find Molly Shannon funny (I find most of the characters funny except for the Joyologist character), but I thought it was a good to great episode, with a couple of standout sketches (including the cold opening and the monolog, no mean feat). Plus, a well above average Weekend Update and a hysterical TV Funhouse. The only thing to mar the show was the sketch with Maya Rudolph as the lounge singer. It literally put me to sleep. When I woke up, I had to rewind and then decided to just fast forward through it.

I'm glad they didn't do a Joyolgist sketch.

So am I correct that Molly is only the second female alum to come back and host? Other than Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (twice). Is Sarah Silverman ripe for an appearance next year? I don't think any of the other alumnae have any current projects that would warrant being asked to host.

Also, did anyone catch the special on Sunday?
