Just watched the second SNL UK episode. Two things stand out to me: 1) they almost never break character and laugh (unlike the giggle fits that have become all-too-common on the U.S. version of the show), and 2) it looks like they memorize all their lines and no one other than the host appears...

Could not disagree more about Burleson. Sounds totally unnatural talking about basketball. Sounded like he was reading every word - awkwardly - when I watched the studio show today. He needs to stick to NFL work…

IMO, there’s no excuse to not have a great show after a four-week layoff. With all of SNL’s writers and cast members, wouldn’t you think a couple of them would have a great, hilarious sketch just sorta pop up in their mind over the span of a month? Instead, we got … that - a completely...

Somebody tell me, please, that the GOT prequel “A Knight of Seven Kingdoms” gets better, because the first two episodes move at a glacial pace…

The sketch with Skarsgard dressed as a girl was painfully unfunny…

Somebody please explain how a group of teenagers is just allowed to take over a radio station for weeks on end without a single station employee ever showing up…

Ashley Padilla: destined to be a star. Also: easy on the eyes…

I really don’t find these funny at all. Also, the bit is worn out at this point…

*It’s “Farm-O’Geddon this year…

Man, not exactly a well-known media outlet with that report. I live in the Twin Cities and I’ve never heard of that outlet/blog, whatever. Medved makes sense at Minnesota, but they’re not announcing that til CSU is bounced from the NCAA Tourney…

I thought the Eddie Murphy prison sketch was very funny. I agree with the comments on the Lawrence Welk skit; I’ve never found that one funny…

Where the hell was the love for Bill Hader during that SNL anniversary show?! He’s an SNL hall-of-famer in my book, and the only recognition they give him was a quick pic of his Stefon character during a montage. That’s during a 3, hour, 30-minute show, too. Disappointing. …

What was the name of this doc? Or what episode # was it?

Why is Philip Rivers considered a hall of famer? He was a stat compiler, nothing more. Watched him in person a couple times; thoroughly unimpressed. He had weapons to play with, too…

Can somebody - anybody - please tell me what the point of the Jimmy character was on Yellowstone?! Why did they waste so much time showing him working at the ranch in Texas? That guy was such a crappy actor IMO, and there was zero pay-off for all the screen time he got…

This is my hometown paper. It was fairly solid for years, especially the weekend sports sections. Now, I don’t know how they justify the size of their sports staff. They must have at least 8 full-timers. I heard their circulation is WAY down lately, though I see in their editor’s letter...

As a lifelong Vikings fan, I feel obligated to weigh in. Here’s the argument for keeping Darnold, IMO: -he’s only 27 -he still has a very live arm -he’s not a diva This isn’t a typical journeyman QB. Sometimes it takes a QB a while to figure it out, like Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, or the Rich...

I’d argue that Jamie on Yellowstone is the least likable TV character I’ve ever seen - not just due to his soap opera-like storylines, but due to his ****ty, emotionless acting. But Beth is often comically cheesy too; how many lines of dialogue did she ever have where you thought to yourself “a...

I’d rank Colin Quinn, Nealon, and Seth higher, mainly because they all had fun with anchoring Weekend Update. I’m one of the biggest Norm fans on the planet, but it felt to me like he often mailed it in on WU, almost like he was trying to bomb at times. It didn’t help that the crowd rarely got...

Hayden Fry went 3-8 in his last season at Iowa in ‘98, and his loaded team in ‘97 limped to a 7-5 finish. He retired on his own terms but any Hawkeye fan would tell you he stayed a year too long. Iowa went 1-10 and 3-9 in Kirk Ferentz’s first 2 years as head coach…
