By comparison to stuff today (lip syncing and just otherwise in life), its nuts that dominated the news cycle as much as it did. Certainly contributed to killing her career, and while I'm a huge live music fan, in retrospect its fairly understandable and now the norm for pop. At the time it seemed sacrilegious and now it seems so overblown and emblamatic of a simpler time.

What do you guys think the cold opening will be for this weekend?

Here are my guesses:

Kamala Harris Townhall

Harris/Walz Rally

Trump Rally (MSG Rally?)

A non political cold Open (World Series?,Halloween?)

Harris speech at the site of Jan 6 Trump Rally.

He's covered everything from Diner Lobster, Bodega Bathroom, Airport Sushi, Subway Churro.

What else would make for a great musical you hope to see?

I enjoy SNL but am definitely not as read-up as most of you. I’m a few episodes in and have a couple questions —

1. What’s the deal with Jane Wickline? I’ve never heard of her before SNL (not unusual), but she seems really….. flat, out-of-place, and remarkably less talented than the rest of the cast.

2. I love seeing SNL legends like Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, and Dana Carvey, and other great comedians/comic actors like Jim Gaffigan and Alec Baldwin. But — why are we seeing so much of them? Sure Maya makes a fantastic Kamala Harris, but aren’t they stealing the thunder from the actual cast members a bit?

I enjoyed the CNN History of the Sitcom skit where Bowen told the story about a dramatic actress playing Lucy. This made me think that they should do some more. What shows should they do? Like that caused Bowen to mention Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros or other studios that made the sitcom in the discussion part.

I looked at pictures of Andy Samberg with short hair & glasses and man, he looks like the late Buddy Holly. This got me wondering what Buddy Holly song should one of the Lonely Island raps would it be sung to the tune of? Like Lazy Sunday, what Buddy Holly song should it sound like?

I put in for the lottery to be an audience member back in August. I was just wondering if anyone has actually been picked from the lottery and gone? Curious how good my odds are

Not sure if this was mentioned here but there's a doc in production right now all about the A-listers who didn't get in. Colbert talked about it on his show last night with Seth and he said they had him watch his audition and react.

It's me. Literally couldn't be more up my alley.

I thought this episode was pulled from the rerun line up but here it is. Its a painful watch as Chris wheezes out his lines and the whole cold open and monologue are all about his being well enough to host! Watching this knowing he'd be gone less than 2 months is so sad!

I'm going through old Weekend Update clips/other sketches and Aidy is just a stellar person all around. SNL is not the same with her gone

I suppose it’s not that surprising because she’s been on SNL three times before, and she’s had success in the US for sure, but she’s not really a household name in this country and her songs don’t generally see a ton of success on the charts. She actually does have a #1 single as a featured artist, and she has at least one other top-10 and a recent #12 entry with Billie Eilish, but her songs aren’t generally blockbusters.

A lot of the recent picks for double duty (eg. Dua Lipa, Jack Harlow) aren’t superstars either but they’re more mainstream famous than Charli. Not to say that Charli’s significant LGBTQ following is any less significant than any other artist’s fanbase, it’s just that she’s considerably more niche than most other double-duty hosts.
