Good.  While we're at it, just get rid of this waste of money and airtime - worst weekend show on the worst U.S. network.  Oh, and if Comcast can fire that Fallon jackass right about now, that would be great.  Biggest frickin' cancer of American TV since Trump.

Let's see... each and every person who believes Fallon has any talent at all.  He *IS* the biggest goddamn malignant cancer of American media since Trump *and* the Kardashians, and actually believes that he MUST upstage everybody and be the centre of attention at all times, even when his guests - his GUESTS! - are performing.  What a deplorable, full-of-himself, blithering lowlife pustule... you can't go any lower than him these days on American TV.  Absolute goddamn scum... even my morning turd has more talent than this jackass.

Okay I think I understand now. You're upset because Saturday Night live won't hire a Jimmy Fallon look alike to deliberately exaggerate his behaviour for entertainment sake.

I haven't watched Saturday Night Live since they got rid of Mr. Bill. I simply don't find it funny, so I don't watch. No need for a rant.

Gotta love the YouTube rabbit hole. I'd forgotten how damn funny Mr. Bill was, thanks mace.

Ahh... The SOWNY Board.  "I haven't watched/listened since (insert event that happened 40 years ago)."
It reminds me of the time someone here complained about a new nasal sounding female singer on a commercial who would surely disappear within weeks or months.  That "new" voice was Rihanna who had sold nearly 200 milllion copies and had eight number one hits by that time.

Re: SNL Smaller Cast and No Audience Tonight

There are some truly hilarious moments on SNL but I find most of the skits run far too long, milking the same joke over and over again. Instead of 6 or 7 minutes each if the skits were 3 - 4 minutes it would be much more enjoyable. That's why I PVR the show and skip through it in about 45 mins, there's just too much that isn't funny. Weekend Update is usually my highlight and even it suffers from 'too long' syndrome when extras join Colin & Michael to espouse their points of view. 

I give them credit for doing the show on Friday with very limited cast, although it just highlighted the shortcomings I've already mentioned.

After his Saturday Night Live career, Mr. Bill did quite well in the advertising business, doing spots for Burger King, Master Card, Ramada and Subway, where he invents flatbread. He even did a PSA against drug use with the tagline "Just say OHNO to drugs"

Did he get desperate and cover himself in poo to become Mr. Poo on South Park?  
The voice seems so close... lol
