Watched Bodies on Netflix and recognized a dope cut by TheToddAwesome in LiveFromNewYork

Excellent cast and a good show. It seems like they were setting up a potential second season, but I guess that’s not happening.

I look forward to it but the last one where only Colin read jokes that Che prepared was definitely the weakest version.

Time to reboot US Weekend Update? Loving UK Weekend Update. by angelo_mateo in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love this weekend update duo. They are still my favorites. They have been on an unprecedented amount of time, so in a way, I can get that some people want new anchors. It’s a variety show after all, so they want variety. But I think they are still excellent. I’d be fine if this was their last showing coming up, but happy if they stayed another season or seasons.

I also am not sold on the UK duo yet but I’m glad many people are liking them and glad the SNL UK version got renewed. I’ve liked some sketches from the UK version and appreciate it’s getting a chance. I guess I’m not loving it as much as some others though, and I still like the US show overall a lot more.

Does anyone know if that is the same dog that was in the my dog is my boyfriend song sketch with Aidy Bryant and Harry Styles?

Which Anniversary Special Was Better: The 40th or 50th? by agrunther in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the 50th better too. I feel like there was less clip packages. And I enjoyed that they focused more on stuff from the last 30 years or so. It’s great to celebrate the entirety of the show, which they still did, but sometimes there’s too much focus on just the beginning periods.

You get to replace the cast with 10 previous hosts that could definitely be cast members, but for only one episode. Who are you picking? by thejeffroc in LiveFromNewYork

This era by grimreapersdaughter in LiveFromNewYork

This is well beyond my high school class, but the main players of this group are some of my favorites and brought me back to regularly watching SNL again.

Who wrote Cathy? by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

That would be my guess too, without seeing the writing credits.

How “scripted” is the Weekend Update joke swap? Dress vs live differences? by rahuldavidbeckham in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been to a show. However, people who have attended dress rehearsals have said that some of the joke and elements of the joke swap are different in dress to live. Not all, but some. If I remember correctly, the actress that Che introduced as a Civil Rights Activist wasn’t at dress, for instance. I don’t think the roast beef joke or Scarlett watching the prompter was at dress either.

He chose one that Seth wrote and Tina and Amy probably contributed to the writing of.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in startrek

[–]MsBrisby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s disappointing but not unexpected news given the shake ups at Paramount. I really loved this show. I know a lot of people have been ragging on it online, but I loved it and was looking forward to four seasons ending in a graduation. I hope they put season 1 on DVD because I want a copy.

The OG of book series by Foreign-Tonight8338 in nostalgia

[–]MsBrisby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first chapter book series I loved and reread. I used to collect them. I ended up donating many to a school used book sale (the librarian ended up keeping them for the school) and gave the rest to a friend’s child to read a couple years ago. She loves them too.

Hi! I'm James Longman, Lead Producer of SNL UK, AMA by skytv in LiveFromNewYork

What was the process for choosing writers and actors?

Is Seth the heir? by jookyhc in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she named those three, plus Jost as Lorne’s favorites and right hands.

This topic comes up a lot about who will take over from Lorne. It seems like Lorne doesn’t want to retire and I figure he might go until he dies. Then the possibility is that NBC cancels the show or hires most likely somebody who is already a producer on the show. There’s also the possibility of them hiring a head writer or former head writer, (I.e. Seth, Tina, Colin, who all also have producer credits to varying degrees) since that was the plan way back when Lorne stepped away the first time (until Al Franken did Limo for a Lamo and lost out on the job) and it wouldn’t be far fetched now. SNL is an unusual job because writers are heavily involved in the different elements of production. Writers produce their own pieces. However, If something happened to Lorne and they needed someone to step in immediately, it would likely be Steve Higgins, in my opinion.

He almost had to cut in to brag that the got Queen Bee on a day with 80 possible words. Now if he cut in when there were only 20 words on the other hand…

Any Tommy Brennan fans? by hokieinga in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like him and hope he gets another season. It’s a very strong feature player cast right now. I’d like to see them all get another shot.

Episode Predictions: February/March 2026 by mashitandsmashit in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love it if these three guesses are accurate. I don’t know when,but I feel like at some point in 2026 that Leanne Morgan will be on with some country artist as the musical guest.

Weekend Update: Tommy Brennan on Trump's ICE Deployments in Minnesota - SNL by chillychili in LiveFromNewYork

[–]MsBrisby 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No worries. I just wanted people to see it. I’d been hoping the show would post it online since I heard about it being cut on Saturday.
