SNL 41 review

Tonight, “Saturday Night Live” returned with its season finale, and clearly the show felt it necessary in order to bring back probably the most popular guest of the entire season: Bernie Sanders. Larry David returned for his last appearance this season as the Presidential candidate, and it was a particularly biting take on the the […]

We really want to groan about the cold open for “Saturday Night Live” being yet another impersonation of Donald Trump. This is something that we’ve seen so many times, we don’t know how the show has anything at all still to milk from it. Yet, they continue to find a way! We’re not sure how it happens, […]

Given the headlines from much of this past week, it was fairly clear to us that “Saturday Night Live” was going to open with some sort of Donald Trump-themed sketch. However, the show instead chose to do something a little bit different: They started things off with a farewell to Ted Cruz, or at least the […]

The moment that we knew that “Saturday Night Live” was getting Julia Louis-Dreyfus on board to host the show tonight, we had a feeling that we could see the return of Larry David as Bernie Sanders. The two worked together on “Seinfeld,” and she went on to appear in multiple episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” […]

If there is one thing that we know about “Saturday Night Live” this time of year, it is this: They love to milk the heck out of election season. It’s funny that we’re celebrating something that is just not another Donald Trump segment. Granted, this time around it was the second-most-overplayed candidate on the show […]

Tonight, “Saturday Night Live” had some of the highest expectations that it’s had over the course of season 41. Peter Dinklage is a beloved host, and of course with his experience on “Game of Thrones,” you had to expect that there would be a sketch or two referencing that … right? Well, hopefully we’ll get […]

Going into tonight’s new episode of “Saturday Night Live,” it was fairly easy from our vantage point to telegraph what the cold open was going to be. Given all the protests recently at Donald Trump rallies, how does the show not go with that in starting things off? So as we start this live review […]

If there was one thing that felt for sure like a given with this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” episode, it was this: There would be a sketch mocking Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton in some shape or form. This is just the sort of thing that the NBC show likes to do! What […]

One week removed from Bernie Sanders appearing on “Saturday Night Live” for a cameo, his presence loomed large in the cold open for Melissa McCarthy’s fourth show as a host. Specifically, we saw some people talking about voting for him despite Hillary Clinton’s credentials … which led to a ghostly Hillary (played by Kate McKinnon) […]

Going into this weekend’s new episode of “Saturday Night Live,” one thing was a given: We were going to see something related to Bernie Sanders. With Larry David in the house and with us being in the thick of the Presidential election, how could you not? He was riding high off of Iowa, and had […]
