Saturday Night Live has been one of my favorite shows for a very long time now. Since 1975, this show has been consistently delivering sketch comedy at its finest. Now in its 33rd season, people will argue that the cast isn't what it once was. It's hard to complain with this as we look at the list of those who have come and gone through this late night circuit. Eddie Murphy, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, David Spade, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Farley, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Molly Shannon...just to name a few. At first I tended to agree with this and didn't think much of the new cast.
However, in the past two seasons, I've started to fall in love with this cast. I can't think of a flaw in this cast. They've got a good variety of characters at their disposal and they all know how to get a laugh. Andy Samberg is a crowd favorite and his "digital shorts" are always something to look forward to. His "D*@& in a box" sketch from last season, featuring Justin Timberlake, was an instant classic. At times I see myself questioning the writing. Some of the sketches are hilarious and yet others make my head scratch.
SNL continues to bring in big names to host the show. This season alone they've had basketball player Lebron James, musicians Kanye West and Jon Bon Jovi, actor Seth Rogen and even news anchor Brian Williams. Jonah Hill, star of Superbad, is set to host the next new episode on November 17th. Tune in for some guaranteed laughs!
