I tried watching Saturday Night Live on Kodi this past Sunday morning, but all in all, I didn't find it as entertaining. Believe me, I'm still "Kate McKinnon-ed" out, but I hope the writers can better implement the strong cast they already have.

I was about to chime in say that I like the addition to Marcello, but so disappointed to hear about Chris Redd. I'm such a doofus. I thought last week was their season premiere, but it was last night. I watch SNL on Kodi TV, and they had Miles Teller and Kendrick Lamar listed for Season 48. I should make this easier for myself and record on my Fire Recast instead.

Gahhhhh! Then why were they saying things about the season premiere? Even the guest host said that. Plus, the credit openings were entirely different too. This stuff is way too confusing.

Oh!!! Now I see! The one for October 1st that I saw was guest hosted by Owen Wilson! So, Kodi TV is screwed up. In fact, it's so screwed up that when I tried to watch Days of Our Lives for Season 58, they still had Kassie DePaiva (Eve; DAYS) on there. Yeah, sounds like I need to record SNL on my Fire Recast.

 Although Kodi TV is free, it's not apparently reliable, lol!

Interesting that Cecily Strong wasn't in the credits, but as you said, she'll return soon.

Cecily is off doing a play, okay but why not in the SNL credits?

Last season Kate McKinnon was gone for a large part of the season, because she was filming that miniseries about Tiger King -- which was filming in Australia.  Yet Kate continued to appear in the SNL opening credits during the months she was away.

Maybe this year they are doing credits differently, or maybe Cecily's contract is arranged differently than Kate's was.  Who knows.

Melissa Villaseñor says leaving SNL was her choice to protect her mental health; says she was struggling with panic attacks last season. She added: “When I’m in a big group of a lot of amazing people, and everyone’s speaking over everyone else, I think I tend to get small. I get nervous, like, where do I fit? What am I supposed to do? That’s how I was in high school, too. And so I think that’s what caused it. And I was like, I think I’m okay. I feel like there’s nothing else that I feel like, oh, I need to be sharing this, I want to do this on the show. I think I’m ready. There was just something telling me, I think I could part ways.“

    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • I'm screaming at those clips and gifs.  THIS IS PURE GOLD.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
