Members alwaysAMC Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Except the huge stumble over her words halfway through. I felt bad for her. But yeah, it was HILARIOUS. The whole episode was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 The skit was horrible and unfunny. The only good thing was Nassam as Sharon. She was pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Why are all the sketches on SNL so long now? I don't know why the writers even get paid. They just drag and drag. It was a little uncomfortable that they had a white woman playing Julie Chen. She got some of the speech patterns but generally I kept thinking, "Who is she supposed to be?" The Sharon and Leah were good, just too one-note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lust4Life76 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Okay, Kristen Wiig is talented, but she's reading from a prompter...and not trying at all. She does this when she plays Elisabeth Hasselbeck. This could have been a great sketch, but do these people rehearse anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 I thought they all did a great job of playing who they were playing but Sharon is more a knockoff of Amy Poehler's Sharon than Sharon herself. It doesn't seem like it's going to be a recurring sketch like The View, not the same spark. I was thinking, "I sure am glad they don't have big ass Kenan playing Holly" so it was funny to me how his Whoopi got worked in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 When they said the reason Holly wasnt there was bc she was on vacation, I thought, no its bc you dont have any black women on the cast. SNL REALLY needs to get one already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted March 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 I thought it was hilarious too. I proudly admit I think The Talk is a crap fest from the what I've seen. I'm thinking the people as SNL think so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 Much of the cast has talent, I think, but I agree the number one prob right now is the skits overstay their welcome. A friend and I were just commenting on that the other week--even the skits we found funny at first just went on too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 SNL is so sad. You could even hear the awkward silence where the laughs were supposed to be but there just wasn't any to be had. There probably is a lot of reasons why SNL sucks: an untalented cast, bad writers, a format that is 35 years old and isn't new and outlandish anymore, and an audience that needs more to be shocked. Watching that clip you could see that whoever any of these people are, Jan Hooks could do what they do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 IDA. The cast is great. Most of the new featured stars this season have been winners. The main problem is the writers. With that said, this season has had more good episodes than recent ones. The Miley Cyrus one from 2 weeks ago was pretty funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not this much. For instance, Sharon Osbourne is a fascinating woman, bizarre, mannered, false, complicated, sometimes ruthlessly sincere. Yet all they have is this one note about her being pointless and everyone else telling her she's great. SNL used to have much smarter writing. Now it's just how many different ways can we get Kristen Wiig to play the same character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
