This has all the ingredients of a good show, as Key is quite adept with sketch comedy. Although sometimes the shows you'd think would be decent end up being underwhelming. It's as if the writing is a bit weaker because they expect the talent of the host to do all the hard lifting.

While on the other hand, someone you didn't especially think would work out well as a host ends up surprising. Eli Manning comes to mind. He was perfect.

Wait. I'm confused. Isn't there supposed to be ranting about the musical guest and how talentless they are even though you didn't watch them in the first post of every SNL thread?

New Rant: "Timing of official threads:
Do not start the official show thread more than one hour before the Eastern time zone airing"

 

[Steveknj]

meh - doesn't bother me. It's not like someone can post spoilers or anything

 

[Tony_T]

“Rules are Rules”

 

[Tony_T]

And the rule applies, as there is nothing to discuss yet.

Yeah, the one with a #1 single in multiple countries, the video for which has 203 million views on YouTube.

Where do they get these obscure artists?

What's an album? This is 2021.

It looks like in this case it took post number three to qualify for what you were saying.

It's what us old people buy

 

[sharkster]

I have no idea who she is, but I am really looking forward to KMK.

Yup, and this old fart (just turned 55) just ordered the following vinyl:

Beatles - 4LP version (with the Esher demos) of the 50th Anniversary remix of the White Album
John Lennon - Target exclusive 2LP Blue Vinyl version of Gimmer Some Truth
Taylor Swift - Folklore
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - The Wall

And more to be ordered with my gift certs.....

 

[HarleyRandom]

At least I know I will like the host.

 

[HarleyRandom]

Taylor Swift - Folklore

Why?

The others I can sort of understand.

 

[TonyD79]

Can we get all SNL threads retitled to include "and music critiques."

This all reminds me of BBT and Penny's criminality.

Time travelers could.

I had never heard of her but Google schooled me. At first her song lyrics seemed shallow and vapid but it turns out she's another Disney Channel Actress turned singer (hi Miley, hi Ariana, hi Selena, hi Demi, hi Zendaya) and still a teenager who actually writes her own songs. So of course she writes about teenage girl things and on that front she's been compared favorably to Taylor Swift.

According to what I've learned from my kids talking about her, she's on the Disney+ show "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" and she was dating one of the other cast members. Then that guy broke up with her and started dating a different female cast member. So the two hits she currently has include lyrics that have to do with this breakup and betrayal she felt.

What's an album? This is 2021.

Even in the 1950's some artists had hit singles without yet producing an album.
Remember the 45?
