I hate when sports people do SNL. They're always super lame.

I'm skeptical but I'll try to keep an open mind. About the hosts and possible good laughs, that is. The musical acts will suck.
-
Except when the other Manning brother did it of course. His fake NFL commercial had me on the floor. Eli should be okay... I like SNL. It doesn't hit 100% of the time but when it does it's good stuff.

Boobies.

Jagger was hilarious when he did Keith Richards and Mike Myers did Jagger
by Mugato5150
Well he didn't DO Keith....although '70s were a crazy time for them....
-
with the when did SNL stop being funny questions. It's so lame and it's been going on since Chevy left the show after Season 1. There are always some funny skits and some lame ones. If only 1 or 2 out of the 10 skits are funny, then it's still funny. If something still has the capacity to make you smile, chuckle or laugh then it is still funny. Are there any other 90 minute live sketch shows that make you laugh more?
-
At first I was wondering if Eli was a terrible line reader or he just had trouble saying "musical". Then I realized its not easy to say. But I did just eat a scone.
-
except Joe Nameth way back in the day. "I'll be masturbating."
-
I believe that was a Joe Montana sketch you're referencing.
-
His brother had a couple of funny skits, but those were well written and produced. Sports celebs in basic skits suck.

Left to pinch a loaf, come back, and Rihanna's got freaking Pirates Of Penzance going on...
by BurnHollywood
Oh wait, no...they're Arabian. Or fake, Broadway Arabians, anyway. Burnhollywood's rule #43: The flimsier the act, the greater the reliance on "showmanship".
-
Damnit. That's all.
-
So I just tuned in to SNL. It was a skit about Drag Queens. It was really bad. No one laughed and Eli Manning screwed up his lines. I am sad about this because I never watch SNL live and I was hoping for something good. It's been like 2 years since I've seen an episode of this. Is it always this bad now?
-
Just hurts waaaay too much still. Please tell me it was terrible.
-
Eli was great!!
-
Was great, and I thought Eli did well throughout, actually. The Herb Welch thing is just deadly dull to me, and the news, particularly the Cohen marathon appearance, was a waste.
-
Is that where the shows put a big mid-season finale, and then go off the air for a month? I hate that crap, just keep running the show! Stopping the show in the middle for awhile just makes me forget about it and move onto other things
-
But some of the skits were pretty funny. The EA Sports was pretty good; the "Little Brothers" bit was hilarious, kind of Eli's answer to Peyton's classic "United Way" SNL commercial. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" Amazon commercial made me laugh. One of this season's better episodes, despite the amateur host, who was at least game for anything ("no... the banana's larger").

Herb is the best character since Massive Headwound Harry. An Rihanna is hot. Mediocre singer but hot.

...but I blame the music industry itself which today is totally suit-controlled and only interested in the pre-pubescent tween and dumb-ass bitch demographics.

Was prepared for a Charles Barkley sized bombed, was pleasantly surprised, good episode overall, had more then a few laughs.
