When a former cast member returns and reprises their old roles...

I don't know but it's never just as good as when they were on the show regularly, of course this is totally normal since they've probably changed so much in the time between them being regulars and then hosting but I always wish to see them get their groove back. I've noticed this with Kate and Kristen.

The Japanese Game Show skit translated

Narrator: And now, from Tokyo, it's "Quiz Kings"! Here's your host, Nakadai Toshiro-san!

Nakadai: Okay, hi! Hello, everyone. It certainly is hot outside, isn't it? Kotara-san, Kotara-san… You're looking as lovely as always.

Kotara: Toshiro-san… Oh, you. I swear!

Nakadai: All right. Well, let's move on to Takashi Akira-san. You've won [6 million yen] already. That's incredible.

Akira: [I've never seen anyone win so much!]

Nakadai: Okay, okay. Let's introduce the challengers.

Nakida Sanshira-san. Hello! (Blows her a kiss)

Sanshira: As always, [unintelligible].

Nakadai: And finally, from "Mil-wau-kee, Wis-con-sin"… Rarry Tenperuton-san. Greetings, yes!

Templeton: (Confused) I-I'm sorry. I don't speak Japanese.

Nakadai: Rarry-san, yes! A brief introduction, please.

Templeton: I-I don't understand. There's been a little mistake. Uh…

Nakadai: (Unintelligible, followed by laughter)

Templeton: (Laughing politely) You see, my wife Mary and I are here on vacation. It's a lovely country, everyone's been great. Anyhoo, the concierge at the hotel said, "Do you wanna go to a game show?" Well-

Nakadai: Wonderful, just wonderful! Okay, let's begin. Question No. 1…

Templeton: See, I thought she meant see a game show, not BE on a game show! Big mistake. BIG mistake!

Nakadai: Thank you.

Kotara: Not at all.

Nakadai: Thank you. Thank you! Thank you.

Kotara: Yes.

Nakadai: Question No. 1: How many keys does a piano have: 70 (nanajuu), 100 (hyaku), or 88 (hachijuuhachi)? Akira-san!

Akira: 70?

(Buzzer sounds)

Nakadai: Aah, no, that's wrong. That's wrong. Sanshira-san!

Sanshira: 100?

(Buzzer sounds)

Nakadai: Yeah, that's wrong again. Rarry-san?

Templeton: Me? I don't know. I-I'm sorry… Does anybody here speak English? Do you guys speak English? I…

Nakadai: Rarry-san: 70 (nanajuu), 100 (hyaku), or 88 (hachijuuhachi)?

Templeton: Can I pass? You know what, I pass! Uh…

Nakadai: Nanajuu, hyaku, or hachijuuhachi?

Templeton: Hachi… juuhachi? I…

(Larry wins Y50,000; Audience cheers)

Nakadai: Correct, correct! That's correct!

Nakadai: Correct. Rarry-san, [congratulations, that's right].

Templeton: (Pleased and surprised) Really?! All right, well… Kanuka! Kanuka! (Nonsense Japanese)

Nakadai: Thank you, thank you. Second question. [Oh, this time, you have to write.] Does Kagemusha give you the willies, or does Godzilla? Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Templeton: I-I'm sorry – "Cage Moosh"?

Nakadai: Does Kagemusha give you the willies, or does Godzilla?

Templeton: Oh! (Writes his answer)

(Timer goes off)

Nakadai: [That's time!] Akira-san!

Akira: Kagemusha?

Nakadai: Aah, that's no good. That's wrong. Kotara-san?

(His answer being wrong, Akira takes a knife and napkin provided by the co-host, and…)
Akira: Not at all. (Probably meant to mean "My apologies.")
(Akira slices his right pinky off)

Templeton: (Distraught) OH MY GOD! DO YOU SEE THAT?!

(Nakadai laughs, says something unintelligible)

Nakadai: Sanshira-san!

Sanshira: Kagemusha?

(Buzzer sounds)

Nakadai: No, no good. No good at all. Not good.

(Sanshira complies with game show rules and slices her pinky off as well)
Sanshira: Hya!
Templeton: GOOD LORD! What in the name of all that's sacred?!

Nakadai: Okay, okay! Rarry-san? (Reaches for written answer)

Templeton: (Pulls answer away, shaking) You know what? I shouldn't be here.

Nakadai: Rarry-san…

Rarry: Call the concierge!

Nakadai: Rarry-san… Rarry-san!

Templeton: Call the concierge!

Nakadai Rarry! Rarry-san! (Grabs answer and pulls it from Larry)

Templeton: "Docky-docky" something!
(Nakadai reads the answer, looking as if he's going to break into laughter)
Nakadai: "Godzilla"?

Templeton: I-I didn't…

Nakadai: Godzilla? Godzilla. You think it's Godzilla… You're correct!
(Buzzer sounds; Templeton is correct and has just won Y200,000)
Nakadai: You're correct! That's correct. Rarry-san, you've certainly won a lot. That's 20,000 yen!

Templeton: Really? Well, that was great. Thank you very much, I guess!

Nakadai: Let's move on to [unintelligible]!

(Audience repeats)
Templeton: Two thousand d… yen?! How much is that in dollars?

(Cheering as Larry is led to the Bonus Round, which consists of him being bound in chains and an electrical device attached via jumper cables to his crotch)

Templeton: Hey, excuse me, I won. What the heck are you doing here? Hey, just a second… Just a second here!

(Nakadai laughs as he pulls out a new set of question cards)

Nakadai: [Unintelligible] You know?

Templeton: MOTHER OF MERCY, I DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE!

Nakadai: Now for the next question.

Templeton: MARY, CALL THE AMERICAN EMBASSY!

Nakadai: When it comes to children's nursery songs, who is always sure to be sitting?

(PS: Answer = The child, on the parent's lap)

Templeton: I DON'T KNOW!

(Nakadai prepares to pull electrical switch)

Templeton: NO, WAIT! Wait, wait, wait! I… I know it, I know it. Um… uh, Kwa… ki… sur-… pi… ni… ku?

Nakadai: What? "Kwakisurpiniku"?

Templeton: (Confident)Yes! Kwakisurpiniku!

Emcee: Judges! What do you say?

(Surly-looking judges shake heads no)

Templeton: (Desperate) Kwakisurpiniku! Kwakisurpiniku!

(Gong sounds)

Nakadai: No, that's wrong. Too bad. No good. The answer was, "Kwa-ki-sur-pi-PI-ku."

(Nonsensical)

(Nakadai pulls the switch, shocking Larry)

Templeton: No! AAAAUUUUGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Nakadai: Well, that's all we have time for.

(Rest of dialogue is drowned out as Nakadai, Kotara, and the other two contestants dance the show out)

Anyone think the 1992 election was funny?

It was before my time, but Dana Carvey did a good impersonation of both Bush and Perot at different points. Hartman as Clinton(at the McDonalds) was funny. Yes, people back then knew about his affairs.

The Japanese Game Show skit w/Michael Myers & Alec Baldwin wasn't all gibberish. I used Notta on my phone to listen to it as it played on my desktop, then plugged the translation into Reverso, then made a table with the results in Word.

I know it's mostly garbage, but there is some coherency here.

Opinion. Seasons 37 and 42 had the best host and musical guest picks in recent history.

In my opinion, the host and musical guest picks from seasons 37 and 42 were the best picks in recent years.

For season 37, you had hosts like Charlie Day, Jason Segal, Daniel Radcliffe, Katy Perry, and MICK JAGGER AS HOST AND MUSICAL GUEST CLOSING OUT THE SEASON?!? Then musical guests like Radiohead, Jack White, Usher, Bon Iver, and The Black Keys.

For season 42, you had Tom Hanks, Octavia Spencer, Lin Manuel Miranda, and Margot Robbie and musical guests like Lady Gaga, Father John Misty, Twenty One Pilots, and legendary rap group A TRIBE CALLED QUEST!!!

other seasons like 43 and 47 also had good picks but 37 and 42 were the most noticeable ones.

Do you think Alec Baldwin will play the former president in the fall?

I personally think not since he is being charged for involuntary man slaughter. I also haven't seen him on SNL in a while.

I have a novice question about the show

I know that they do the run through rehearsal right before the live show, but my question is: Do they keep the same audience from dress rehearsal for the live show? To me, if I know exactly what each joke is I’m not going to find it as funny the second time around. Seems like this would kill audience reaction for the actual product they’re putting out.

Kyle Mooney as Woody Allen?

As I'm sure most of you know, Scorcese's making a Sinatra biopic with Leo DiCaprio. If the applicable incident makes it in, what would you think of Kyle playing Woody Allen?

Not one that was an actual catch phrase, but one that was said in a sketch as an example of how ridiculous catch phrases are.
