    SNL is not worth the time investment to watch, hoping some nugget of gold will turn up. Easier to check the internet the day after.

    Do you guys really get so riled up about 'fuck'? What's a fuck amongst friends, eh? Our Prime Minister called something or other a 'shit storm' on the telly a while ago, and was recently in the news for letting the 'f' bomb drop on a regular basis amongst colleagues. We laughed. Oh, how we laughed. (for those of you who have yet to meet me, I'm speaking to you from the future - Australia to be precise - where it's 11.36 at night). Nighty-night.

    As commenter DahlELama put it: "Serves Lorne right—Michaela Watkins would never have done that." Entirely possible! But also: maybe not? Not sure.

    I think you forgot: "or is it?"

    But really after weeks of preparation this was the best they could come up with? A friend of mine used to work on the show and she explained there was so much that got the heave ho before the big show that it makes the skits that made it even worse.

    At some point, someone is gonna have to wake up grandpa and tell him U2 is relevant to 50 year olds and b/c Tina Fey and Fallon are successful doesnt mean you made them, you just enabled them. Seth Meyers will not be this lucky.

    So AMC is running this season's Mad Men this afternoon and the brass is reaming Pete for trying to "turn Admiral into a colored television company" (as opposed to a color television company). Roger asks, "Are you aware of the number of hand jobs I'm going to have to give?" except at 2:50 in the afternoon they drop sound on the word "jobs."
    Even on basic cable, the list of seven dirty words gets larger depending on time of day, I guess.

    8.) SNL is America's version of a Mexican variety show which looks just as goofy to people from other countries as Mexican variety shows look to us.

    I'd rather hear someone say it than hear them get bleeped.

    On the VH1 herpes shows (Rock of Love bus, Real Chance, New York whatever) the gutter trash that inhabit those shows talk like "So bleep and bleep and bleep." There are so many bleeps that sometimes you don't even know what they were supposed to be saying. Either keep it out altogether or say it.

    That bleeping nonsense is bleeped.

    Someone said fuck at almost 1am in the morning and I've read about it like 5 times since I woke up. We live in a really, really silly country. The show itself was shit, that's by far more offensive to me anyway.

    @Glib and Bitchy: Yep, I caught that, I see they dragged Amy Poehler out there even though I thought she wasn't a cast member? Same with Darrell Hammond, I can't believe he's still doing that corny Bill Clinton impression. Yep, those Thursday nights might be a problem, it was actually a bit funny--Sat. show, wasn't.

    ....this is way different than the Charles Rocket F-Bomb. Charles deliberately said the word during his JR Ewing who shot me sketch. Jenny Slate's F-Bomb was an obvious slip. Just look at her face after it happend, that "OMG" what did I just say expression.

    I think the writers set her up, or were hazing her. This is exactly the way Paul Shaffer accidentally said the f-word live: In a skit where all the characters said "flippin'" every 5 words, he slipped once (this was a year before Charles Rocket's more blatant slip). Perhaps the boys' club wanted to get her right out of the gate, and one of them said, "Hey, let's do a Shaffer on her!"
