I thought the whole show was amazingly lame; so bad I had to turn it off at 12:30. There’s way too many cast members and now they added 3 more, just to keep protestors happy: “ok we need another gay, and let’s make her a female black to kill 3 birds with one stone, and also another ugly fat-ass to replace Aidy when she leaves.” I’m okay with it if even just a few sketches are funny, but after having had months to write for a season premiere, they come up with a stinker like that?! Compare Carrey heavily made-up trying to look & sound exactly like Biden, with Aykroyd doing Jimmy Carter in his street clothes with a mustache; the latter was much funnier. Hopefully they can do a little better this year. One step in the right direction would be to stop the endless rap segments; desperate attempts to “connect with today’s youth” musically. You can just picture them around the writing table: “We have no material.” “Ok let’s write some more funny raps and get the black cast members to do them.” And Lorne Michaels says “Hey, fabulous idea, let’s do 3 this week, that’ll kill 15 minutes right there. And make sure the musical guest is a dumb-ass talentless rapper too.”
