8. This was actually funny

The debate stuff has been funny. Too bad SNL is only funny every four years.

16. Tom Hanks has the stature to revive SNL

Baldwin too.

9. It goes to show how much the Republican politicians try to divide us.

Even the news media with their "working class whites" description. Unless you are in the one percent, you want the same things no matter what ethnic group you identify with. Good jobs, benefits, safe streets and communities, and a government that looks out for the good of the people. If Republcans weren't so bent on destroying everything for the sake of power, this country would be on the path to bring these things to the people.

13. Thanks for saving me the trouble of searching for that this morning. It was probably....

After reading here, my first job was to go looking for it to show my wife.

15. french cats and cold open cowbell worthy

But Black Jeopardy was brilliant as was stuffed pizza crust

17. I always thought Black Jeopardy was one of SNL weaker skits

It was this lame sketch that seemed like a throwaway for any week there is a white host and need a time filler.

This time it really worked! First I know people just like Doug. And the skit showed that working class black and White folks really aren't that much different. But first time watching that skit I kept waiting for Hank's Trump supporter to show his racist side. I think it was great how the skit did it but in a subtle funny way - like when Hanks backed away at first when Thompson wanted to shake his hand. And the ending - a classic!

Best skit of the night! That and the CBS Comedy

[Hortensis]

27. Yes! We keep forgetting that SNL is fabulous every

four years, as Gman pointed out, so we missed this and THANKS SO MUCH! My husband's a Jeopardy fan who will get to see this as soon as he comes in from fishing.

28. If you have not seen the other Black Jeopardys they have done a few

Normally the 3rd contestant is a white person who doesn't get it like the African-American host and 2 other African-American contestants. Elizabeth Banks and Louis CK have done the skit.

First time they changed it up was when Drake hosted. Drake is black but he is African-Canadian. So the joke was as a Canadian he was just as clueless as the white contestants compared to the other 2 (who are always African-American).

I think everyone first assumed that Tom Hank's Trump-loving Doug would give all these racists answers. He is the first time he actually understood the questions. Probably because working class whites and blacks in America really aren't that much different from each other.

[Hortensis]

29. Oh, thanks, Lynne. I'll look for the others.

I'm a dry humor sort most of the time, so actually guffawing is a special treat. And usually comes as a surprise. Lol.
