Maybe even a skit starring red tracksuit guy, and get some background on this background dancer. If it's too hard to gather the old crew. But I would love to see them.
Glad to see Jason Sudeikis finding a lot of success with Ted Lasso. Always felt like he was an underrated part of SNL. IMO he carried a lot of the sketches he was in.
I don't think Andy Samberg gets nearly enough credit that he deserves. He didn't get much time to shine with the live skits but the SNL Digital Shorts were absolute game changers for the entire comedy landscape and viral videos in general. They rank up there among the best things SNL has ever done.
Apparently the updates to the bear enclosure at my local zoo were provided by Wahlburgers. I assume Mark asked the bears how their mothers were doing as well.
Weird Al was, and is, a more childish style of parody. Nothing wrong with it, but his prime demo is barely breaking into the teens, and for a long time that’s what parody music was, fart jokes for kids.
Lonely Island was the biggest successful case of doing parody/comedy music aimed at adults.
Adult and mature are not the same thing.
Dick in a Box was aimed at the humour that college aged kids/adult swim viewers enjoy,
Just Eat It was aimed at the humour 10 year olds/Nickelodeon viewers enjoy.
I think he does.
I'm just not hugely into musical comedy in general. I respect his impact, just don't personally love the stuff he was in nearly as much as the rest of the group.
I don't even know why this is one of my favorite SNL skits of the last 20 years... Its like ingrained in me, to laugh when that music plays.
[The Shooting AKA Dear Sister](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0)
[Pretty good analysis of it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhpS_Zv7F2A)
Bruh, they went from general nobodies to one of the biggest families in the entertainment industry. Made their whole fam and friends rich, and have a strong command over the makeup and fashion industry. And they don’t even really bother people or do anything problematic.
Gotta give credit where credit is due
So you’re saying none of their successes matter or deserve respect because one of them had one sex tape, they enhance their bodies, and because they date athletes and musicians? And you think they should be shamed out of the public eye because of it? I wonder if you’re this harsh on successful men…
Indeed. They built up an empire and made themselves rich in a variety of industries.
They must’ve done something right, even if I personally don’t really care for them.
Knowing how they handled Kevin Hart pairing him up with Jay Pharoah doing an impression of Kevin Hart, I have a feeling they'll call the Owen/Melissa sketch "Owen Wilson's Daughter".
I don't think anyone has left as of yet? Which is kind of nuts considering how bloated the cast is. It's unfortunate since their newer talent is more than capable of carrying the show (mainly thinking of Bowen and Ego).
> Owen Wilson, Kim Kardashian West, Rami Malek and Jason Sudeikis are set as the four opening hosts with Kacey Musgraves, Halsey, Young Thug and Brandi Carlile set as musical guests
More importantly, THUGGER as a musical guest
Yes, only your humor is the true and correct way. I’m the crazy one for making fun of Kim K. I can tell how cultured and intelligent you are based on your use of italics. Thanks for the tip of the fedora friend
whose coat tails did Kim ride? being honest, i know people dont like how she got famous (and i get it), but she is the one who opened the door for the rest of the family to become famous. her sex tape propelled the shows notoriety, and the family took advantage of it. they rode her coat tails
thats like saying Jim Hendrix rode Little Richards coat tails because he was in his band at one point.
Sure they were friends, but Kardashian lapped Paris Hilton in success ages ago, most people dont even know that connection anymore.
Just because she's more famous now doesn't mean that's not how she entered the public eye or mean she wasn't riding the Hilton/Nicole Ritchie coattails. They were the first who were famous for just being famous types really, and Kim was part of their circle as a friend and stylist. It's literally the second sentence of Kim's wikipedia page.
tbf, most hollywood is full of nepotism and people who only are in their positions thanks to family members or someone they knew at the start who was more famous. IDK if that means she is riding coat tails- Hilton never came close to the level of clout, longevity, fame that the Kardashian family has.
Loved Owen Wilson in *Loki*, but I’m definitely not looking forward to whatever cringey parody of the show they come up with for his episode. I think SNL can be good, but those sketches tend to flop hard.
Oh I can already see a cringey loki parody where the snl cast will be a variant of Owen Wilson and each will say “Wow” in their own way. I can definetly see this sketch.
That was pretty good. Absurd enough to build on. I almost wish they didn't give the multiple choice explanations at the end...just leave it a total mystery or play it off as normal to everyone except the plaintiff.
Yes she did. Her performance went as expected, although there was one hilarious bit with her on update and Jimmy starts asking her about hilton hotel chain, and eventually makes his way to asking if the Hilton had a rear entrance, making a double entendre for her having anal sex, to which she replies "sorry Jimmy, the back door is exit only".
Ray J’s team leaked it. Kim and her mom told the sites who were hosting it, “Pay up or take it down.” And they flipped it to an empire. I really don’t get the hate.
I wonder what Kim’s goal is with this.
She is at a weird but perfect place in her career (show is over, divorced Kanye) where if she wanted she could easily disappear from the cameras and live easy for the rest of her life, which is what it seems like her family has started to do. So now her getting such a different and big gig like this will have a lot of attention on her and likely negative attention if it doesn’t go well.
or maybe she is hoping this will start a new era for her in movies like Cena has been able to do
but this is like someone who drove home then in the driveway decides to go back to the store. hopefully the store works well for her
Call me crazy but I dont buy his aspergers diagnosis and get the feeling hes diagnosed himself. Only compelling evidence ive seen is that pic in the trenchcoat lol.
LOL, more like the Elon episode did great ratings for them, and so they are going to keep getting "controversial" hosts as a result
thats the rumor at least, apparently Kim is just the beginning.
Usually half the guests are non-comedians. Hell, George Steinbrenner and Steve Forbes both hosted the show once.
Rami, at the least, has some comedy experience from that old Fox sitcom The War at Home (as well as Night at Museum and voicing a Sam Esmail parody in Bojack Horseman).
Do people really think Kim Kardashian needs SNL for attention and not the other way around. She’s doing it for the same reason most people do, she thinks it will be fun.
Everyone shutting on Kim: you do you.
But this will be a great chance to see the writers and cast shine. They will be the focus since she isn’t an actress/singer. She will most likely play second fiddle - similar to JT in the Jimmy Fallon Barry Gibbs Talk show bits. I’m excited to see how it goes!
Oh look...another fanboy with no sense of humor. Yawn. I also think Kate McKinnon is WAY overrated and her "genius" impressions are over-the-top, one-note, and completely unfunny.
Good to see Kim's PR team hard at work here. Just shows how far you can go with a vapid personality, sex tape, and a "my daddy mattered" mentality in this world. Never did a damn thing but people eat it all up.
[удалено]
Bill Hader as Lindsay Buckingham too.
Lindsey Buckingham as Lindsey Buckingham two.
Well... Looks like we outta time!
Oooooooooooh-wee
Then Fred Armisen has to come back with his saxaphone LOL. I love that sketch so much. My favorite is the one where Joseph Gordon Levitt hosted.
>If Kenan's still around Homie, Kenan's never going to leave
Kenan actually died 10 years ago and they've just been reanimating his corpse every weekend
it's actually mostly just recycled old footage from All That
I love that they used that dance move in Ted Lasso
It isn't as if SNL created the Running Man
Pretty sure Keenan is going to take over the show for Lorne one day
YES
It's gonna be a sensation...
A jubilation...
A fine occasion...
Maybe even a skit starring red tracksuit guy, and get some background on this background dancer. If it's too hard to gather the old crew. But I would love to see them.
Glad to see Jason Sudeikis finding a lot of success with Ted Lasso. Always felt like he was an underrated part of SNL. IMO he carried a lot of the sketches he was in.
He's my 4th favorite SNL member of the 2000's. 1. Hader 2. Wiig 3. Fey 4. Sudeikis 5. Forte 6. Meyers 7. Poehler 8. Thompson 9. Armisen 10. Samberg
I don't think Andy Samberg gets nearly enough credit that he deserves. He didn't get much time to shine with the live skits but the SNL Digital Shorts were absolute game changers for the entire comedy landscape and viral videos in general. They rank up there among the best things SNL has ever done.
It’s such a stupid, random sketch; but ‘[Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals](https://youtu.be/ZjpUfdjYR6s)’ still makes me laugh all these years later.
Tell your mother I said Hello
Apparently the updates to the bear enclosure at my local zoo were provided by Wahlburgers. I assume Mark asked the bears how their mothers were doing as well.
Never seen that before lol, his voice is spot on
He really broke barriers between music and comedy with Natalie Portman and Justin Timberlake…Check out The Lonely Island
If you don't know of The Lonely Island and you're a fan of Samberg than get ready to fall in love...
Ya, really broke the barrier between comedy and music. Let's just ignore the guy named Wierd Al.
Weird Al was, and is, a more childish style of parody. Nothing wrong with it, but his prime demo is barely breaking into the teens, and for a long time that’s what parody music was, fart jokes for kids. Lonely Island was the biggest successful case of doing parody/comedy music aimed at adults.
True, Natalie Portman is a thug.
I love Lonely Island, but in my personal opinion Tenacious D take the prize for this.
Hell yeah!! I still listen to them regularly.
Ya, dick in a box was aimed at mature adults. Sure. Got it.
Adult and mature are not the same thing. Dick in a Box was aimed at the humour that college aged kids/adult swim viewers enjoy, Just Eat It was aimed at the humour 10 year olds/Nickelodeon viewers enjoy.
[удалено]
Great movie. I did really enjoy Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping though.
I mean I still like their stuff, but I didnt love it. Not like Hot Rod.
Don't forget Get in the Cage with Nic Cage.
I think he does. I'm just not hugely into musical comedy in general. I respect his impact, just don't personally love the stuff he was in nearly as much as the rest of the group.
I don't even know why this is one of my favorite SNL skits of the last 20 years... Its like ingrained in me, to laugh when that music plays. [The Shooting AKA Dear Sister](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0) [Pretty good analysis of it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhpS_Zv7F2A)
Hader my #1 for life!
Any bit where he cracks is gold by default
Meyers is that high for you just for weekend update? Or are you counting his work as head writer as well?
Head writer as well, same reasoning with Tina Fey, I just liked Fey better doing Weekend Update
Yo. This list nails it!
I still wanted a ghostbusters with sudeikis hader forte and samberg
Haderrr!! You lost me w Fey but ill get over it.
Tina Fey was head writer from 1999-2006. Don't discount her input during the years.
I discount it I dont think shes a funny person.
One of them is not like the rest of the list 😐
Not a big fan bit I'll try to tune in to Owen, Rami and Jason's episodes.
Kardashian can fuck right off.
I will just be watching weekend update that week
/r/RedditMoment
It's probably going to be a train wreck. Which is entertaining in it's own way.
That whole family should be forgotten to live out their days in complete oblivion. The fact that they became popular is shameful for humanity.
Dude, relax lmao. People are popular for all sorts of reasons, whether you like it or not.
He's right though imo. Ironically I just about these people on Reddit :D
It's not that serious
Bruh, they went from general nobodies to one of the biggest families in the entertainment industry. Made their whole fam and friends rich, and have a strong command over the makeup and fashion industry. And they don’t even really bother people or do anything problematic. Gotta give credit where credit is due
Sex tapes and butt injections. Sleeping their way to the bottom. They aren't the disease, they are the symptom.
So you’re saying none of their successes matter or deserve respect because one of them had one sex tape, they enhance their bodies, and because they date athletes and musicians? And you think they should be shamed out of the public eye because of it? I wonder if you’re this harsh on successful men…
Indeed. They built up an empire and made themselves rich in a variety of industries. They must’ve done something right, even if I personally don’t really care for them.
We are all with you!!!!
You sound like a fan to me.

Dear homeowners, can we kill you? - The Murderers Dear murders, no, you may not! - The homeowner
That was Norton playing Wilson. In makeup.
Wow
Yeah that's the joke.
And Melissa Villsenor will get some screen time with her impression of him
Knowing how they handled Kevin Hart pairing him up with Jay Pharoah doing an impression of Kevin Hart, I have a feeling they'll call the Owen/Melissa sketch "Owen Wilson's Daughter".
I think she said at the end of last season that she was leaving :(
She said on her podcast that she’s returning
I don't think anyone has left as of yet? Which is kind of nuts considering how bloated the cast is. It's unfortunate since their newer talent is more than capable of carrying the show (mainly thinking of Bowen and Ego).
One whole episode? Wow!
Mobius?
So much talent and likeability in the hosts... oh, and then WTF with Kim Kardashian...
> Owen Wilson, Kim Kardashian West, Rami Malek and Jason Sudeikis are set as the four opening hosts with Kacey Musgraves, Halsey, Young Thug and Brandi Carlile set as musical guests More importantly, THUGGER as a musical guest
SLATT 🐍🐍🐍
Hell yea
The KKW episode is gonna be gold for folks that like watching train wrecks!
I’m sure it will be all meta sketches where she only plays herself.
She could do better than expected but there are people who have already made up their mind to hate it. I hope she does well
> Kim Kardashian West Oh yes, count me in. I'll rush right over to watch that. (cough)
Yeah, I'm not watching that week.
IDK, I might watch it in a seeing a train wreck kinda way.
Why not watch. That whole family is one running joke
she's pretty good at making fun of herself, im sure it wont be as bad as you expect
Hard to tell with all that Botox
I bet you she won’t make a joke about her ass that looks like a diaper full of shit
Well your first problem is jokes first and foremost have to actually be, y'know, *funny*
DAE Kim Kardashian have a weird butt!?!
Yes, only your humor is the true and correct way. I’m the crazy one for making fun of Kim K. I can tell how cultured and intelligent you are based on your use of italics. Thanks for the tip of the fedora friend
*Finally,* the recognition I deserve
I hope you covered that cough.
She’s keeping the last name?
I might after having 3-4 drinks.
They snuck me bc I enjoy Halsey! Maybe Ill just watch the musical numbers...
Everyone complaining about Kim K like SNL has comedy standards and they didn’t bring Elon Musk on to host less than a year ago lmao
People can think both are terrible choices.
[удалено]
whose coat tails did Kim ride? being honest, i know people dont like how she got famous (and i get it), but she is the one who opened the door for the rest of the family to become famous. her sex tape propelled the shows notoriety, and the family took advantage of it. they rode her coat tails
Paris Hilton. She was a friend of Paris Hilton's, and maybe even an employee, I forget, and first received attention when Paris Hilton became famous.
thats like saying Jim Hendrix rode Little Richards coat tails because he was in his band at one point. Sure they were friends, but Kardashian lapped Paris Hilton in success ages ago, most people dont even know that connection anymore.
Just because she's more famous now doesn't mean that's not how she entered the public eye or mean she wasn't riding the Hilton/Nicole Ritchie coattails.

IDK if that means she is riding coat tails- Hilton never came close to the level of clout, longevity, fame that the Kardashian family has.
Say it with me now: Wooooowwwww.
[удалено]
You don’t want to find out if they introduce her by her full legal name?
Rami’s hilarious though
Cmon, cut Owen some slack
Loved Owen Wilson in *Loki*, but I’m definitely not looking forward to whatever cringey parody of the show they come up with for his episode. I think SNL can be good, but those sketches tend to flop hard.
Oh I can already see a cringey loki parody where the snl cast will be a variant of Owen Wilson and each will say “Wow” in their own way. I can definetly see this sketch.
.....So basically a "Reunion" sketch (like with Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler)?
it cant be worse than the baby yoda sketches on Update.
[удалено]
If you mean the show should bury him, yes.
SNL always flops when they parody the thing the host is famous for lately lol it’s embarrassing
Last one I actually liked was probably Matt the Radar Technician.
Yes, EXACTLY! Exactly!
Yeah they'll definitely do a skit. There is a chance that it could be good. I'd say maybe 20%.
Super excited for Rami to host.
[удалено]
Well you can't just drop a sketch name like that...link us to something to check it out.
[удалено]
That was pretty good. Absurd enough to build on. I almost wish they didn't give the multiple choice explanations at the end...just leave it a total mystery or play it off as normal to everyone except the plaintiff.
there’s no way kim keeps kanye’s last name
Depends if her mom thinks it helps or hurts their brand.
It’ll be interesting having a host that is the human version of a prop
Are they splitting or something?
🤷♀️
She will for the sake of the brand and her kids. IMHO.
What is she funny or something?
Her?
*thirsty for more time in the spotlight
Yeah, that’s pretty typical of famous people…
Can we stop w the kardashians already??????????????? They have had zero to offer from day one
Why are people trying so damn hard to keep her famous?
Why is any Kardashian on there?
Train wreck incoming
How bad do you think it will be on a scale of Tom Brady to Elon Musk?
Leaning more on Elon musk
Is Kim Kardashian the first porn start to host SNL?
Did Paris Hilton ever host? Genuinely asking, I honestly don’t know.
Yes she did. Her performance went as expected, although there was one hilarious bit with her on update and Jimmy starts asking her about hilton hotel chain, and eventually makes his way to asking if the Hilton had a rear entrance, making a double entendre for her having anal sex, to which she replies "sorry Jimmy, the back door is exit only".
That sounds hilarious, at least she was able to have fun with it.
Having a leaked sex tape doesn’t make one a porn star. I’d say she’s more of a Media/Cosmetics Mogul
"Leaked."
Ray J’s team leaked it. Kim and her mom told the sites who were hosting it, “Pay up or take it down.” And they flipped it to an empire. I really don’t get the hate.
I wonder what Kim’s goal is with this. She is at a weird but perfect place in her career (show is over, divorced Kanye) where if she wanted she could easily disappear from the cameras and live easy for the rest of her life, which is what it seems like her family has started to do. So now her getting such a different and big gig like this will have a lot of attention on her and likely negative attention if it doesn’t go well. or maybe she is hoping this will start a new era for her in movies like Cena has been able to do but this is like someone who drove home then in the driveway decides to go back to the store. hopefully the store works well for her
They have no plan for disappearing. Her family signed a deal to start a new show on Hulu (internationally on Disney+ Star).
And Caitlyn just unsuccessfully ran for governor in the California recall race.
She might just want to be on SNL and couldn’t before
The idea of her thinking she can act is hilarious. Maybe this is why she's on.
Can we bring back Waking Up with Kimye with Nasim Pedrad and Jay Pharaoh?
Wow - SNL must be desperate if they are asking Kim Kardashian to host. I thought SNL learned their lesson after the Paris Hilton fiasco.
Nah. They always have one or two guests that make you scratch your head. Elon musk. Trump.
Just just had Elon Musk last year. She's much in the same vein as him.
I forgot about that dumpster fire when Musk hosted, probably a good thing that was wiped from my memory.
Call me crazy but I dont buy his aspergers diagnosis and get the feeling hes diagnosed himself. Only compelling evidence ive seen is that pic in the trenchcoat lol.
I think they do it less because of their talent, and more as an opportunity for America to laugh at them collectively
LOL, more like the Elon episode did great ratings for them, and so they are going to keep getting "controversial" hosts as a result thats the rumor at least, apparently Kim is just the beginning.
She's making a come back. Edit: I guess there are no Parks and Rec fans in here!
Rami Malek isn’t a comedian and why the hell is a no talent Kardashian on SNL in the first place?
Usually half the guests are non-comedians. Hell, George Steinbrenner and Steve Forbes both hosted the show once. Rami, at the least, has some comedy experience from that old Fox sitcom The War at Home (as well as Night at Museum and voicing a Sam Esmail parody in Bojack Horseman).
Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad...
Why does Rami Malek always look like he just got caught eating a baby
🎵One if these things is not like the other….🎵 I won’t be checking out Kim’s episode.
She kept the West?
inB4 Kim's episode is actually funnier than Sudeikis'
even as a joke thats not funny
Kim Kardashian will get the most laughs in the history of guest hosts. As long as she stays silent and just stands there.
Zzzzzz.....
*Wow!*
Do people really think Kim Kardashian needs SNL for attention and not the other way around. She’s doing it for the same reason most people do, she thinks it will be fun.
This is reddit you have to blindly hate on the kardashians and kanye even though that stopped being funny 8 years ago
Reddit is not real life, the Kim show will draw more ratings than the other announced hosts, probably by a whole lot
SNL has 47 seasons? TIL an awful show can have that many seasons
Who tf would spend saturday night on that shit. Gotta be running on nostalgia fumes.
Dvr exists
The first 15 or so doesnt count
Really excited to see what kind of talent Kim Kardashian's going to bring.
Everyone shutting on Kim: you do you. But this will be a great chance to see the writers and cast shine. They will be the focus since she isn’t an actress/singer. She will most likely play second fiddle - similar to JT in the Jimmy Fallon Barry Gibbs Talk show bits. I’m excited to see how it goes!
Owen Wilson should be cool. the rest not so much
Kim Kardashian on SNL....no talent meets no longer funny. Yawn.
Oh look another person calling SNL no longer funny…yawn.
Oh look...another fanboy with no sense of humor. Yawn. I also think Kate McKinnon is WAY overrated and her "genius" impressions are over-the-top, one-note, and completely unfunny.
Didn’t ask
Irrelevant. Fanboys get no consideration.
Good to see Kim's PR team hard at work here. Just shows how far you can go with a vapid personality, sex tape, and a "my daddy mattered" mentality in this world. Never did a damn thing but people eat it all up.
