Bringing Spade back for that bullshit Church Lady stings. It’s early, but that’s my biggest snub. 
 

Carvey has hung around Studio 8H all season, so I understand him not getting a sketch in the 50th. 

spade's not gonna be in the 50th b/c he was on church chat in dec?

Is Aykroyd ill? His absence is weird. He’s hosting like half dozen shows on cable and streaming now, so it’s not like he’s exited public life. 

maybe he's still mourning jimmy carter.

The Homecoming Concert Special has made some really odd choices.

Not introducing musical guests, a Tom Petty tribute 8 fucking years after he died, opening with Fallon singing Soul Man and then chasing it with a washed Miley Cyrus singing A Crazy Thing Called Love (the fuck?!)

I had high hopes after the music documentary.

i thought i read someplace that the 50th was going to show/recreate 1 sketch per season of the show (their favorite or most famous or something?). no idea how accurate that is, but i'm sure they're trying to one-up the 40th, which will be difficult.

if they're recreating some of the sketches, that would explain chevy.

Pretty sure Lorne really likes Miley. Not like pervertedly, but has always had a soft spot for her. He made her a big part of the 40th celebration stuff.

Byrne and St Vincent are outstanding together

Arcade Fire as well.  Always weird to me that Win Butler is from the fucking Woodlands.

last night was pretty fascinating, seeing how different S1E1 was from today.

multiple musical guests, the host (Carlin) in no skits, just intermittent stand up sets. most skits were less than a minute, but the cast had memorized lines - no visible line reading.

honestly nothing very funny...Chase got a couple of chuckles from WU, but the Muppet sketch was the best skit.

Yeah.  We watched it last night as well.  Its surprising that they've made it 50 years.  The longer skit at the end with Ackroyd as the home safety salesman was pretty good.

It didn’t age well. Even Carlin’s stuff was extremely tame and only mildly humorous. The sketches were all very short. Wolverines and Bee Hospital felt like they were 1 minute long. 
 

If the film is accurate, pretty unbelievable they couldn’t find a couple minutes for Billy Chrystal. Cut one of the songs and there’s plenty of time for Billy.

Agree with everything here, except the Muppet skit. 

The first 4 shows had an unbelievable change in format, show 2 is a Simon and Garfunkel reunion concert with a few skits. show 3 has a host who was in skits, but mostly as himself, and then show 4 gets close to the format we have known for all these years. Though Candace Bergen is herself in multiple skits in her 2 episodes in Season 1.

Getting dusty seeing Paul Simon at this age. I don't think I've seen him in forever.

Sabrina Carpenter did a great job in deference to Paul.  I didn't know she had that in her.  She sang well.

How in the blue fuck does Lil Wayne get on ?
Get fucked.

Consolation for the Super Bowl hometown snub?  That said I'm enjoying his set.  Playing the hits.
