Another SNL sucks post


The end of summer is an exciting time for many people - you start school supply shopping, your favorite shows end their summer hiatus, and there's no more excuses for licking Cheeto dust off of your fingers and lulzing around on Tumblr, because, you know, you have school now and everything -but the end of the summer is doubly exciting for late night comedy nerds. The Saturday Night Live season usually begins in late September or early October, and late summer is when we get first news of cast member changes and host and musical guest announcements. For some of us, we pee in our pants out of excitement (will there finally a person of color in the cast? will Frabby be in a skit together?), and for everyone else, it's just another chance to yell "SNL SUCKS NOW" in every every other day leading up to the premiere.

NBC recently announced that SNL cast member Jenny Slate, who began her first episode by dropping the f-bomb on live television, will not be returning this season. Many people I know dislike her greatly, and it's not because they're jealous of her Tina-Tina Chaneuse jacket; her Hoda Kotb just isn't gelling well with many SNL fans, and apparently, Lorne Michaels. However, four new cast members have been announced, and basically forget the rest of this post BECAUSE LORNE FINALLY HIRED ANOTHER BLACK PERSON.

HIS NAME IS JAY PHAROAH AND THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.




At least we have a back-up plan in case Kenan is too busy to play Tiger Woods again.

  1. This guy looks like he was hired specifically to play Obama.

    This show should be canceled and Lorne Michaels should be sent to the Hague.

  2. The Will Smith impersonation is great.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

"High Tide, Storm Rising" - Skinshape

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic.  Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk  05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world.  Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
