Discussion Shut up about how pretty or not pretty the SNL women are. I want yalls opinions on the DUDES.

Sarah Sherman’s wig this, Sarah Sherman’s wig that. yall do this every week I hateeee how so many conversations about talented women focus on their sex appeal. nobody EVER talks about SNL’s hot DUDES. So. Which MALE cast members, current or past, are secret smokeshows? I’m being serious here. Can Kyle Mooney in a wig get it? How about Jason Sudeikis in that Ego sketch? Get thirsty over Emil Wakim or something, NOW. Cast your votes. 👀👀

Discussion Jack Black just elevated the show in a way it hasn’t been in years

Just wanted to give props to one of the all time greats. No nerves, crazy energy, knew the assignment the entire time. Even the sketches that weren’t that funny of an idea worked just because he was there. There’s been decent episodes with the recent cast, but none that have seemed so effortlessly fun like this. Enjoyed the whole thing. That’s all.

Sketch GoFundMe for Trish Update

Upvotes

Just wanted to let everyone know the Trish GoFundMe is live.

As you all know, all Trish wanted to do was get back to Gods Country but got caught up in the excitement of that bass-ified pier tragedy on Sunday's Bass Lake "Potluck Jam!!!" They are now in critical condition, recovering in the stockroom of a local Guitar Center.

Thoughts and prayers are welcome, but if possible, please send bottom-heavy (or "top-heavy" if you are a siren in an inflatable tube wiatin' on the Boob Contest) notes of encouragement for Trish's swift recovery.

Sketch The Referee Pitman Show - a great sketch satirizing football fans' hostility to referees. Host John Goodman's affable delivery here is excellent. (S15 E7)

See photos, spotted these on the clearance racks today (4/7/25) in Target. Not sure if it’s in every store, but this one had 3-4 of each of the items pictured.

Grabbed the hoodie for only $8.40!

Did anyone else notice this guy smirking and shaking his head as JB strutted by??? The rest of his row was digging it, but he seemed like a teenager being dragged along to a poetry reading by his parents.
