    As soon as I heard that Biden had passed the torch to Kamala I knew Maya Rudolph was going to have a banner year

    Not as much of a gimme as Tina Fey / Sarah Palin but it’ll work no question.

      Huh. I’m not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, “wasn’t she in The Good Place?”

      I feel so vindicated right now.

        Genuinely hilarious! Maya Rudolph was so great in The Good Place, but most of them were. What a good show.

      It’s a good show. I also liked how it featured that “$295 million” horrible house from that awful mesmerizing wannabe Robin Leach YouTube video that made the rounds a few years ago, this one.

    I’ll wildly recommend one of the latest Kill Tony episodes with a stunning performance of Trump by Shane Gillis, and Adam Ray as doctor ph Joe Biden. Absolutely hilarious 👌

      Dude, they’ve been doing political sketches for close to 50 years now. Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford.

      I get why they do them. They’re relevant and buzz worthy.

      I do agree that they aren’t anywhere close to being top tier sketches.

          i did not really expect it, but 2 of the best hosts were zack galifinakis(sp?) and justin timberlake

          seriously, timberlake is fucking comedy Gem.

      I auditioned as a writer for SNL this year (didnt get it). The workload and ambition is insane. it’s really easy to criticize until you have to produce even just the first drafts of a weekly packet, let alone redraft and get shooting script ready.

        So much work goes into just filtering out inappropriate jokes from idiots who think they’re the next George Carlin.

        Oh, I wasn’t saying it sucked. I just haven’t heard about it much lately and I remember it from the '90s, which was a long time ago.

          It was on point and very popular during the Trump administration, especially during the early years. Melissa McCarthy did an excellent Sean Spicer. https://youtu.be/UWuc18xISwI
