Strong writing in there. Can't believe they cut that.

It was a real awkward sketch. I can see why it didn't air. I liked it though.

12669815, better than that Al Sharpton sketch

Plus the first part of Weekend Update was just awkward, they could have aired this.
|
12669886, Definitely better than that Sharpton shit

But I really liked the WU piece. I feel like it carried a good amount of disgust and frustration, without taking it too far. You gotta realize that that softball was a pretty hard punch for that show to be able to throw when they have to play to the entire country.
Actually I am pretty alone on this, but I really like Che and Jost on the news.

12669914, Oh I liked it

It was just weird because they were being serious for once, but it seemed liked the audience wasn't sure if they should laugh or not, but nothing about this situation is funny. It was kind of awkward, but I was surprised and glad they did it.
|
12669924, It's such a strongly written piece.

It is to me a contender for a top 3 of the year (This, WHITES and that "__ Cents a Day" sketch were all so goddamn amazing. This get credit for being the only live one performance of the three).
|
12670072, Really? I think Che and Joost are terrible so far.

12670111, Yeah, I dig em.

They're still very shaky and haven't found their own "voice," but I see definite improvement, and I really like when they tackle things in conversation together like they did in the beginning of Update this week.

I know they felt it was too hot to touch...But damn...That shit was hilarious. They should have aired it....The helicopter parts were funny as hell...

12669973, Personally I Liked The Sketch

I think it basically a reality view, don't know why they thought that when they have had much worst & "it's too soon" type sketches they have done over the years, this would've been perfect for right now.
Also you all might have not noticed, last week's episode was only one hour long instead of their usual hour and a half.
|
12670078, A-ight. I think it might have played funnier if the white co-host was oblivious.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Dec-09-14 10:12 AM
I think that's how K&P probably would have done it.
I think that's the difference of telling that same joke premise from a black versus white perspective.

Did someone already make the Ollie Williams comparison with the sister in the helicopter?
