He’ll also serve as the musical guest. I have no idea what his music is like. Anyone feeling increasingly old as they watch SNL?

1. Bring back Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd, Chevy Chase and John Belushi and we'll talk.

3. And Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Tina Fey

Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph.

So many talented folks!

4. I would also add Phil Hartman to that list

Tragic.

2. Sigh.........

Gilda Radner
Dan Akroyd
John Belushi
Laraine Newman
Chevy Chase
Jane Curtin
Garrett Morris
Bill Murray (not in the first season)

I think it was funnier back then. Sometimes lately the writing has been ... meh.

Although Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Keenan Thompson are frequently LOL funny.

And to answer your question, yes I feel old. Especially with the strange musical guests they have. Lizzo was AWESOME though a while back.

6. I do know a Nick Jonas song: "Cake by the Ocean". I am not a complete

dinosaur. Didn't know it was him.

10. That is Nick's brother from his solo days...

11. Okay. I still don't know his music i guess because i skipped the musical

portions of the show for the most part. Ddmn you cell phone.

12. I remember seeing some old shows and many were not that funny

There were a few skits that were funny but most of the show wasn't.

I think SNL has always been like that.

It's rare where almost the entire show will be funny.

5. NBC

is clearly doing this as a cross-promotion for 'The Voice', but I doubt most of his pre-teenybopper or tweenybopper fans are allowed to stay up to watch SNL.

Expecting mediocrity from any skit or performance he's in.

7. What's up with all the "get off my lawn" post by some of my fellow more senior DU members?

Yeah, I grew with SNL and still love the old skits. The General Franco one was classic.

But hell, we had 3 channels to watch and we remember the classic skits and forget the duds.

They still have some good stuff. And if they appeal to younger folks, well that’s the future.

I thought the Biden/Harris bit on the night the election was called held up with any of the old classics.

8. I am out of touch with the young adults today and i just am realizing

it. I like SNL. Their political sketches and Weekend update are my favourites but i find most of it quite pleasant. I always watch. I may zone out and back to my phone but i've always liked it. Lorne Michaels got his start in Comedy in Canada through being family to my favourite childhoid comedians in Canada: Wayne & Shuster:
