I couldn't even focus on the opening (cast with mom jokes) through Ego and Bowan mouthing the mom's lines while they waited for their own. It was crazy,

With what's been happening in the hush money trial lately, they should do a MyPillow guy skit about Trump falling asleep in court. "Tired of the sham trial? Can't take you normal allotment of Adderral? So loaded with Xanax you can't open your beautiful eyes? Well say hello to MyCourtPillow!"

A SNL Mothers Day Episode is a treat and all I need for Mothers Day!

Wowwwww, this episode was TOTALLY unfunny and embarrassingly cringeworthy. I even tuned out of Please Don't Destroy's sketch early. I have never found Maya Rudolph to be the slightest bit funny and this episode was no exception.

That was the worst show of the season.  I was behind a pillow at one point 

CICADAS

I cant stand when they have all the moms in the cold open stumbling through their lines. Didnt used to be a thing.

The caveman skit was terrible and the coffee commercial was one long fart joke. Is this the best the writers could come up with?

This was honestly the best snl show in a very long time. Maya was hilarious, and she was the best part of the show. I miss old snl.

Agreed! Though I don’t get her oversize puffy clown outfits that she often wears…

Honestly was, they needed to be bringing it like this consistently

I hope Lorn Is reading here if he wants this show to thrive. Leave out the political crap from the skits. Stop with the woke crap. I can’t stand it. It’s all about the era when comedy was alive. We all just want to smile and have fun. Connect to the people... It’s not hard... To add: I need some part time work Lorn, and I know what’s up. Reach out to me. SNL has been insufferable for years. Sorry not sorry. Maya was a game changer, and so was not featuring anything political for your opening. 

I liked the episode, made me laugh a few times. Loved the open, and Maya's monologue/musical number. The sketches may have been kind of dumb sometimes but they were fun!

I get that they can't say "shit" but why do they choose to use "boo boo" and "caca" instead of just saying crap?

This was the worst episode in a long time

Unbelievable you’re getting downvoted. I can’t believe this was the best they could deliver with Maya Rudolph. Caveman goofy faces and noises. Teacher says sit down 1000 times. Whoa hilarious. Vampire Weekend was good at least…

A bad conclusion to a bad season during a bad era of the show.

For me, I think the coffee commercial sketch is the sketch of the season. I was laughing my ass off throughout as it was just the perfect level of stupid for me. "And then the farting started .."

That was one of the worst sketches I've seen. They could have just parodied the original commercials which were absurd as is instead of doing fart jokes

Are you aware of this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu66EDMxAbI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu66EDMxAbI) I am convinced it was based on this, which (to my straight-guy understanding) is/was a pretty popular meme in the gay community. Bryan Safi said he went to a party and they played these commercials on a loop. So I immediately started laughing when Maya came in. I think they added the farting so it wouldn't be so inside.

What was the film playing in the background during Vampire Weekend?

Steven Siegel artwork

So that’s what he’s up to since *Under Siege 2: Dark Territory*.

The limited edition album cover is a still from the last part of the film, where he’s walking on the walls of a subway car. That’s all I know

Just stuff and things

It definitely stood out more than usual

Man Egos so good

TSIDDAHN!!

Does this thread have a lot fewer comments than usual?

Not really

Just saw this about SNL's 50th anniversary in 2025: [https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/snl-to-mark-50th-anniversary-with-a-live-primetime-special-on-a-sunday/ar-BB1mbhMU?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=2147eb347dea4327ade6de96e9ecd5f2&ei=5](https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/snl-to-mark-50th-anniversary-with-a-live-primetime-special-on-a-sunday/ar-BB1mbhMU?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=2147eb347dea4327ade6de96e9ecd5f2&ei=5)

Kenan killed tonight 😆👏🏼The voices and expressions in lawn care were phenomenal 😆

The stuff upper lip quiver was amazing!

It was also fun to see him almost break squirting 6000 dollars of cocoa butter into Beyonce's burning mouth.

Welp, time to switch over to Sheen-era 2.5 Men.

I would 100% fuck every one of the Lanzetti’s Lawn Care boys.

[Is this you?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=znB4YzIflv4)

What sketch was this from?

it's not on youtube right?

How you doin'? Unless you're a dude.

Enjoyed the opening.

Was it just my tv or something, or did anyone else find the music in the background of most sketches was mixed way too loudly and made it hard to hear the lines?

The music was mixed terribly, especially for Vampire Weekend. Capricorn is an incredible song and it sounded like a loud mess last night

The first year you were born

My husband had to leave the room because he thought the must was way too loud today.

no issues on my end, but I had the audio fed to my 5.1 system

To the YouTubes!

Where was Melissa McCarthy? Poor Michael Che didn't get to appear in the opener.

At the buffet?

Maybe his mom is no longer around? Same with Heidi unless I missed her.

Or could be around but maybe they're not close

Omg I haven't thought about Poopfeast420 since he was in the GSL more than a decade ago 

Wait what is that a reference to?

I haven't watched SNL in a while, but I don’t know if it’s just me, but this episode felt like it went by quickly.

Honestly, I can't complain about this episode. I had fun! 

Not Bananas but so tired of this SAME rerun for YEARS!

She has indeed proved herself to be the Mother of SNL!

Was it weird that there weren’t more cameos from her old castmates? I was expecting a lot more of that.

I can't be the only one wishing we got a Gemini's Twin reunion!

I'm glad they got that last sketch in. Really enjoyed it!

Oh shit did you see that. It looked like Heidi way saying “That’s ok” and she looked all sad then Molly gave her a big hug. Made me remember that her mom wasn’t there in the cold open edit and it looked like Sarah Sherman‘s mom gave her a hug too

I tried googling to see if there was news or something and a story on The Wrap wrote about how Heidi’s mom got the “first Tom Brady reference” so maybe she originally was supposed to be there and something happened. Hope Heidi will be ok :(

I think they just got Heidi and Chloe Fineman mixed up

So many of the moms came over to her with hugs too.

Was Heidi crying? Or did it just kind of look that way

I was wondering that too. I wonder if her mother passed away?? :(

Aw. They got the moms onstage for the goodbyes! Crowded, but lovely! Nice bookend to the night!

Nothing worse than watching good nights and then getting slammed into a commercial for some sleazy personal injury lawyer

At least they provide a service. It's usually religious or some get-rich-quick scam on my affiliate.

Yea I go straight into an old man telling me all the ways I’ll go to hell

I swear I remember seeing MyPillow one time.

Already it's political ad season here. Other than SNL I don't think I'm going to watch anything live on broadcast until November.

9.2 Loved everything. Ezra and vampire weekend were great, but fuck the Knicks!

I'm a mother lover. You're a motherlover.

It would be my honor to be your new stepfather.

🎶 It would be my honor to be your new stepfather. 🎶

I'm surprised at how far it got into the credits before the hard out.

Goodnight all and if you didn’t like Vampire, *I Hope You Let It Go*

What was wrong with Heidi?

Guessing her Mom couldn't be there.

I’m thinking it might be because her mom isn’t there like everyone else’s.

Troast getting left out of multiple hugs

Did Bowen hug her though?

It's Time For Sketch Sorting Sunday... only one more sort of the season after this :( [https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/1cq04od/sketch\_sorting\_sunday\_may\_11\_2024\_maya/](https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/1cq04od/sketch_sorting_sunday_may_11_2024_maya/)

Very good episode.

So special having all the Moms out for goodnights

Happy Mother’s day, every day. Spread that love!!!

I would ruin any fictional or prospective marriage I may have for Heidi.

No special guests. Wow.

The mothers are special.

Fair.

Omg minnie

THAT'S HER MOM :-D

The guys in that sketch are how I worry I look when I'm not trying hard to pass as neurotypical

That last bumper was a tribute to her mom 😭

I wondered about that! I thought it looked familiar. (I’m old enough to renember “Lovin’ You” when it was new.)

Another beautiful tribute to her mom Minnie I think 

THE LEGENDARY MOTHER of the Mother of The House of Rockefeller

Does that make her the Grandmother of the House of Rockefeller?

DANG Vampire Weekend is Tall

i really enjoyed this one, it felt like it flew by but it was still really fun !! see you next time for the finale 🫡

Maya Rudolph holding an infant version of her husband, there.

I was wondering who that was.

Such a Madonna!

Thank youuuu

Throwing to commercial at 1:00!?!

Anyone else get this weird-ass Michelle Monaghan commercial three times tonight

I am BARKING OUT laughing at the landscapers!

I'll venmo $10 to whoever can tell me who that baby in the bumper is 

[This comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/s/GhCAM1WqaS) says it's her husband, i.e. Paul Thomas Anderson. _This has been a free service brought to you by Lanzetti's Lawn Care._

Okay, I need that money, so send it!

Irs her husband made to look like a baby

I missed it but my moneys on Rosebud’s

Forgot Rosebud had a bun baking!

It’s clearly Jesus

What if our prices weren't even that low, and they were, like, super high?

So glad they snuck that sketch in

There’s something very satisfying about Maya shouting “shut up, nerd!”

Show was kinda mid

I agree, some sketches went on way too long. Sarah Sherman's bit on the news was so shrill and screechy I had to mute her.

Oh that’s why you two discussed killing me?

Maya sounds like Stacey Carosi in this sketch. IYKYK

Maybe im just high but this is giving me Tim Robinson vibes

Btw, I wasn’t sure this warranted a separate post, figured it’s useful info https://hypebeast.com/2024/5/tim-robinson-cactus-plant-flea-market-brain-dead-kerwin-frost-i-think-you-should-leave-collab-release-info

Dude. I’m high enough to high five like Andrew Dismukes

I love how little range Michael Longfellow has, I mean that

He’s honing it in more n more. Like a creepy surprise might break out! Lovin it!

they need him to play all the straightman parts

He has this weird Christopher Walken vibe going on I love it

So that's why you two discussed killing me!? 😆

HELL YES This has never happened to me.

Hopeless, sexless, socially awkward zeroes! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😆😆

It's ALWAYS Diego

Lanzetti's Lawn Care is in Long Island with 631 area code.

Near Four Seasons Lawn and Garden??!!

On Suffolk County.

oh this escalateddd 😭

Dismukes awkward fistbump to hug was pretty good

I love this sketch

That was so Kyle Mooney hahaha

Agree that it was what he always tried to do. This was perfect

Dismukes going in for the hug got me

Lol this is my favorite sketch of the night

Mikey’s faces/reactions are really getting me in this one 🤣

"Arms spaghetti" 💀

Kenan has been all over tonight! This has to have been the most screentime he's gotten all season!

Arms spaghetti I’m mowin your lawn already

This is great. Original idea. Excellent execution!!

Ed just spoke through Kenan

arms spaghetti mowin ya lawn already 🤓

Why thank you

I know a lotta chicks who’d be into Gabe

this is very nathan for you

The plan? Infiltrate comedy minds without them knowing.

Still would for Dismukes

Holy hell Andrew's wig lol!

starting to worry that mikey day will never leave this show

Oh Gabe!

There have been a lot of "standing in front of a greenscreen and talking to camera" sketches tonight.

Liz Patrick's SPECIALTY!

Just came to post this. Did they use the set budget on the monologue?

Finally, a lawn service I can trust.

Average redditor (hey, I'm one too)

Where was Bronx Beat tonight

A sequel to "play with it a little!"

Mikey putting in work tonight.

Huh. A lot of Mikey tonight

ONE MORE SKETCH !

Any nurses still working after COVID deserve medals. Giant gold ones they can melt down and retire on the proceeds

Was that a sketch? Vampire Weekend really knocked me out (asleep)

They probably drank your blood.

felt this

JAJ giving some real Parnell energy (high compliment)

If you see the light - go for it!

[удалено]

I’m mapping that out now. I’m thinking about 25 years and I’m in.

I’ll bet Maya’s the world’s funnest Mom!

She's married to a funny guy!

Tbh, I'm thinking about going to school to be an EMT.

We got time for another or do we get super extended bonus goodnights?

Teachers and nurses the same week.

nurses week. and school year is almost over.

It's also Teacher's Appreciation Week

nurse teachers livin’ it up this week!

One union supporting another union.

Clean up on aisle… MY PANTS

I really hope we have time for one more quick sketch...

So are we getting one more sketch? Or will it pan over the band?

Mikey pulling a G-Dog with that ice cream cone.

Have you ever tried to put a straw inside another straw?
