With everything coming out of the debate, this is like being thrown a softball. I'm almost certain that it won't even live up to my expectations, because honestly....how could it???

How do you make a comedy show based on real life, which in itself has become a comedy show?

I'm sure they'll knock it out of the park though.

There isn't a new SNL episode this week. It doesn't return for season 50 until September 28th.

..........well god dammit. I haven't seen SNL for years, and the ONE TIME I want to watch, it's on break!

Although I did see a youtube compilation of weekend update where the white guy and the black guy write each others jokes, and try to embarass each other. That's good stuff.

Got a link? I never watched the show but I often watch videos from the show and that sounds like a good one

Here you go. Search youtube for Che Jost joke swap. They do it a lot.

It's Michael Che and Colin Jost, they do it every year.

My hope is that, when the show comes on in a few weeks, they don't even parody Trump. The actor who plays him reads his statements verbatim, because he's so far beyond parody.

Thank you, was a little confused for a moment.

I'm sure they'll be making the same handful of jokes they've been making since 2016. SNL is truly played out by now

NGL, I haven't missed that tired ol' nag for decades...

I see it completely the opposite. they can't possibly field something funnier than that debate.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, just as well. I found out via this thread that there is no episode this week
