The first episode of this season was terrible. I can't believe they let go of cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah. But kept horrific, no talent hacks like Bennett and Mooney. They gotta go! And Alec was a waste. Such hype for his terrible impersonation. If they hadn't let go of Taran, they wouldn't have had to bring him in. Will he always do it now? Cause he really doesn't strike me as the reliable type. Just let Darrell Hammond keep doing it as he does Bill Clinton.
Now the show only has four funny people, Kate, Bobby, Aidy and Keenan, and sometimes Cecily. Otherwise they all suck. And between Kate's Emmy and her successful movie roles building up, she'll be out the door before we know it. Then the show is really screwed. She's the only thing that keeps people watching. Once she's gone and leaves this mess behind, many viewers, such as myself, will be gone as well. Just waiting until a complete rebuilding year resurfaces. And the new useless hispanic that they just had to have, Melissa Villaseor, was already in trouble herself not too long ago after she removed a slew of tweets from her profile that were deemed racist. So, great choice with her! Smh. They better have some great guests this year to make up for the lack of talent on the show. Keep busy doing A LOT of the skits, Kate! Please.

Typical SNL. After a run with a new cast, they have to cut some members and those that are left are too famous to care anymore and it all becomes pretty crappy till they do a full reset.

oh i thought they meant first episode of snl lol
I didn't watch it because no TV. Just clip of Family Feud which was not as funny as it should have been.
Sarah Silverman talking about her vagina might have been a South Park reference last week indicating female comedians just talk about vagina haha

Wow! That's right. I forgot all about her, as they apparently did. Not looking prosperous.

Agree that letting go of Paroah and Killam was a mistake, I would have dumped Mooney and Zamata instead. Although I thought the premiere was funny. The debate, the sinkhole, and the librarian were great. One question: where was Vanessa Bayer?
