Amy Shumer Hosted!!!

Quick note- let me apologize- if you have read this before, you know that I love to write as a hobby and that I write about SNL because for me, SNL is the equivalent of someone being a life long fan of a particular sports team. Now that I've relocated to help my sister, I am usually at work or watching the babies all of the time(for all wondering, one of the reasons I moved is that my niece was having health problems, we now know that she is epileptic-BUT we are really blessed that it's minor and she could grow out of it). So for that, this post is a little late(family first, hobbies second). Thank you all for your kind words of support!

So, let's dig in... If you've been a fan of Amy Shumer for a while, it almost felt destined for her to host at some point.  After the show began and you could see that her monologue was going to be stand up based it was a great sign. Usually, if someone is strong enough to start off with a stand up routine, than it is ALMOST always going to be a hilarious show. Which in this case was accurate.  There were a couple of times that her jokes were the awkward kind of funny(almost like when Louis CK hosts), but what else would you expect from her? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhu7rs3Ihas

I believe my favorite sketch she was in had to have been the Delta sketch. It was great to see her with Vanessa Bayer again(which in my opinion doesn't get enough credit). When she broke down and yelled "I was outside of the PLANE!"- that was crazy hilarious! The Spice Girls touch was great! Taran was priceless as usual(he has become the new Fallan/Farrell/Hader meaning the person that seems to be the stand out). Kenan kept cracking me up even though he didn't have very many lines in the sketch- he has a gift with his facial expressions though that are so funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL0IQvXD8F0

I don't mention this enough-BUT I feel as if Colin Jost and Michael Che are becoming a very strong Weekend Update Anchor Duo. They are the Bro version of Amy and Tina and I look forward to it every week!

All in all, such a strong episode and I hope to see Amy back soon!

Season 41

I'M SO EXCITED! The season has kicked off with a bang and with it being SNL- who could expect anything different? Miley killed it-but who could've expected anything different-she's a talented person. I also think it's fair to say that her monologue is something that so many of us wanted because the crazy-weird events of this summer needed to be explored by SNL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHl3nsXCqi4

The most important thing to mention though is in all of the years of SNL, I have never seen such an on point impression of Donald Trump as Taran Killam's impression. My family and I laughed so hard at this! If you haven't seen it(or if you need to watch it again) here's the link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft5XUalItuY


Hillary and Kate's sketch together... The only way to describe this is that it is an instant classic! The best thing that a politician can do is go on SNL. I think it reminds people that at the end of the day, they are all human like us and can make fun of their selves a little bit(which is refreshing). Here's the link(I've watched this one a couple of times now)-

I also have to mention the Kyle Mooney Sketch that was a sequel to a sketch from Miley's last visit "Miley's Sex Tape" (Not a real sex tape so calm down). I loved this because as we have gotten to know Kyle Mooney these past couple of seasons, my favorite thing about him is that he has his own comedy that's kind of awkward, entertaining, and hilarious. So, incase you missed the first part, I have included Part One for you all-
