I couldn't make it through. It's just horrible. John Belushi must roll over in his grave every week.

I liked the Cold Open (no Jim Carrey) and the car commercial made me laugh because DUers were just making fun of these recently. And I like Weekend Update, just usually wish they'd skip the "guests," I didn't even like Kate McKinnon in this one. But, as usual, I posted the political sketches - and for once they had a really good musical guest, so I posted Bruce Springsteen (Music Appreciation since it's not political). Did I ever tell you that I once saw him in person? He played at UVM when my brother was there - in the gym! I had trouble hearing for a few days!

and Kate McKinnon's bit on Update made no sense at all. We just looked at each other and said wtf was that about? Average show overall, but Bruce's 2nd tune was the highlight....just incredible...

But I couldn't help wondering if Dr. Fauci was watching and was disappointed that it wasn't Brad Pitt!

Our soon to be ex Direct TV is having a dispute with NBC so can't watch. I knew you'd have it here in the AM and I appreciate this.
