Andy Cohen was mentioned on SNL this week. The show opened with a skit about the superbowl commentators. The talk about how weird the year has been and list the usual 2020 problems, like Armie Hammer. Click the link if you missed it. But if you do, you might wish you had not. It’s is not funny at all but somehow it was.
After talking about Covid and the prostitutes of Tampa ( To be fair, it’s more of a stripper capital of the world, but there are a lot of prostitutes there. I almost took a job there once. Not as a prostitute, or as a stripper, [though I did once go get an application to work at as strip joint {Again, not as a stripper} once while teaching a college about an hour away that didn’t pay well but I never returned it. I kind of regret that, actually. The not returning it part. Not the applying part. That was fun.]
Blind Item Reveal If You Know How To Click On A Link
Anyway, after they talk about various tawdry and annoying things, they announce that Bravo is simulcasting the Superbowl (clearly they are not) and it will be hosted by Andy Cohen. They said, instead of the Superbowl, on Bravo it is called OLD HAG versus Young Slut. I’m pretty sure that Andy would be team Young Slut. Blind Item Reveal. Then they went on to discuss, QAnon, Anti-vaxxers, So congratulations, Andy Cohen, you have been mentioned with Armie Hammer, Covid, Tampa Bay’s prostitutes, QAnon, and Anti-Vaxers. Seems about right to me.

The host was Daniel Levy from Schitt’s Creek and he was good. They won 9 Emmy’s. He seemed thrilled to be there. Eugene Levy was there too! Waynes World was back briefly. Apparently they can’t say Superbowl on the air without paying a licensing fee. I’ve seen this happen on other shows. Then they said it a lot. That’s just crazypants. I may have had too much beer, but this show is a lot funnier than usual. I feel like y’all are not going to believe my movie recommendation in comments here because I think this episode is so funny. Something may or may not be wrong with me. I quite enjoyed the perverted Hollywood tour guys.
I Probably Have Brain Damage Because I Think This Is Funny
I love the stupid people who think they are doing everything right during Covid, but they are not. I haven’t laughed this much about an SNL show since… 1980 something when I had to hide in the basement to watch it because my parents thought it was sacrilegious. I forgot to buy pickles at the stupid Kroger today. And I meant to buy flowers. But I still managed to buy wine despite the fact I took my Old Lady Center water walking ID instead of my drivers license. THEY LOOK A LOT A LIKE! Anyway, the BLM thing was not funny.

Phoebe Bridgers was the musical guest. Am I supposed to know who this is? I spent her whole song Googling who is Phoebe Bridgers. She was fine. I’m not her target audience. I had no intention of recapping SNL at three am, yet here we are. OH time for Weekend Update! I usually only watch the cold open, the guest host monologue and WEEKEND UPDATE and FF through the rest but now I suddenly feel obligated to recap. I really wanted to do a few crossword puzzles online but, again. This is the path I have chosen. 🙂
I just Searched My Site For Colin Jost
I thought I remember that Leah from RHONY has some sort of situation with him and he was a dick, but nothing came up. Anyway, I am glad we can make fun of the POTUS here and it can be funny again because all the jokes for the last four years were not really funny. Now we have Biden who is lulling us all back to sleep and reducing our anxiety with really boring updates that say things, “I’m getting vaccines out, I’m sending you all a check. Please wash your hands and wear a mask. Now excuse me I have to kiss the ass of all of our former allies.”

I love how they are going in on Marjorie Taylor Greene. The will be doing it for the next two years and I am here for it. Former Social Media Influencer, Donald Trump, will not testify at his Impeachment hearing. I will be calling him “Former Social Influencer” for the rest of my life now. Thank you SNL. Oh then they go after country musician Morgan Wallen. He was a guy who was supposed to quarantine to be the musical guest on SNL but instead went out to a crowded bar and got wasted. They gave him another chance to be on later.
But recently he was caught being drunk and belligerent outside his home and his neighbors sent the video to TMZ that included him using a racial slur against black people. Now he has lost his entire career. The joke was, “Hmmm wonder where he learned that from” with a picture of him with Jason Bateman who hosted his episode and has is own issues with racist remarks. Allegedly. Guess they aren’t coming back. The cancel culture thing about kids? Not funny.
WAIT! Amsterdam Wants To Move The Red Light District?
Why!? It’s my favorite memory from childhood! Also I miss Killing Eve! When the hell is it coming back? Is this a real story? Apparently so, multiple sites are reporting that “The liberal Dutch city’s notorious red-light district will be moved to the outskirts of town in an effort to help legal sex workers avoid ridicule from tourists, lawmakers said in a report Thursday.” Yet 90% of the sex workers are against it. ME TOO! This is a ridiculous idea.

Okay this is sort of ending with a thud. Or maybe I am just getting sleepy. lol. The quiet little singer girl was better in the second song. There was a girl playing the violin in a skeleton outfit, right? RIGHT? WTF is that? Oh they all have on skeleton outfits. Is that cool, groovy, lit, or whatever these days? She is pretty. Suddenly they all jam out on the guitar and scream. Then she beats the fuck out of a speaker with her guitar. Or at least tried to. Has anyone ever busted their guitar in concert before? Seems pretty original to me. Maybe some guys in the future will actually bust up a guitar. That would be totally brand new.
The “It Gets Better” skit was kind of funny. If any of you read this whole thing. Thank you! You are my people. 🙂
Now I’ll watch it. I, too, usually only watch the cold open and Weekend Update. Thanks TT. I know you need time off sometimes (we all do, I support it), but this site has really kept me from sailing over the edge so many times during the last 11 months that I have been in the house with my 2 kids and hubs. I really do love and appreciate so much extra time with them, but it can be A LOT sometimes. Thanks ever so much.
I watched thru Weekend Update. I had no idea who the singing skeletons were.
I must be too old, I don’t get it! Used to be, one had to sing, or dance.
Stay warm, stay safe!
I read your recap, thank you. Still not interesting enough to watch so I appreciate that.
I am your people!! Especially since I, too, remember hiding out in the basement so I could watch SNL in 1977. My mother said it was sacrilegious as well. I had the opportunity to see SNL in real life the week after Obama was elected. We thought it wouldn’t be that good of a show because no Sarah Palin with Tina Fey. But what a show it turned out to be!! Paul Rudd was the host and Beyoncé did her thang! And, surprise! Justin Timberlake showed up to do weekend update early because he wouldn’t be hosting on thanksgiving. He was awesome! It was the episode where JT did “single ladies” with the guys. Such a great time! I don’t watch that often anymore (yes, I’m old) so I loved reading a recap of a good episode and will search for clips.
Love this recap! SNL is my favorite show. For what it’s worth, the weekend update joke about where that singer learned the racial slur showed a picture of Collin Jost behind the singer, playing off of a long-running joke between Che and Jost. PS I love your site – read it everyday at lunch. Thank you!
I’m an SNL nerd from when I’m a child. I’m Canadian so the political stuff goes over my head sometimes. But I’m thrilled to hear Tamara comment on it. I’m not sure that I have before.
I love SNL always have always will. I watched Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina Didn’t We Almost Have It All on Lifetime. Really sad yet really good documentary. Its snowing here again we are supposed to get 4 to 8 inches ! Off to work 3 to close. Have a great weekend everyone !
I watched Lifetime last night also. Just to see Whitney again. Hope that snow is light & fluffy for you, Marc. Not the heavy stuff. Stay warm & safe. I am sitting in the sun, we are going for 70 degrees today in Anaheim. I have no interest At All in the Super Bowl or the surrounding hoopla.
I don’t comment very often, but I’m one of your people. Of course I read the entire post!?❤
The Who, baby! Pete Townshend broke up his guitar all the time, from the 60s to the early 80s. It was crazy to see, I mean so many guitarists had their instruments for their whole careers, but for the Who it was a form of rebellion, “hope I die before I get old” and all of that. Now Pete is like 75 and does not to that anymore. I was shocked to see the singer on snl do that, I wonder if she thought it was original/
It was a good show last night. I also will be referring to the former occupant of the White House as former social media influencer. I didn’t realize that was Jason Bateman with the country music guy, I thought it was Colin Jost. I guess I should have looked a little closer. The mention of Andy was a good one. The cold open wasn’t very funny but the skit with the people who were doing everything wrong during covid was funny. I do watch SNL every week. Some weeks are funnier than others. This was one of their better shows.
I just rewatched Weekend Update. It was Colin Jost.
I may have been a bit drunk during this recap. 🙂 You know how I am with faces….
Hubs hit me with talking about SNL the first 10secs. I was awake so ?
Lol, may be worth a watch now that I am awake, lol.
And yes, your people.?
I know. I have the same problem with faces. Whenever they do the Morphomatic on Big Brother I have no idea who anyone is.
Thanks. I thought that was why Michael Che gave Colin the side eye after he showed the picture, but I’m not always the best at facial recognition.
Huge SCTV fan & Eugene Levy is one of my favs.
Only started watching SCHITTS because of him and Catherine O’Hara – but found Dan, and cast just lovely..
Watching puppy bowl on TV now & all I want to do is watch Best in Show for the hundredth time.
Anything Christopher Guest does – I’m watching.
Typically a quiet reader 🙂 but Leah had some controversy with Michael Che. It’s googable and moderately amusing.
Delighted to see the recap because I watched it last night for the first time in ages. Love Dan Levy and his dad.
I liked parody of the twins who listen to songs. I’ve only seen a clip of them IRL recently.
Am I only only one that missed the referenced to our old VEEP in that Blind?! Never heard that before but can’t say I’m surprised…thou doth protest too much.
I speed through the singers (unless it the Stones or something).. And many skits.
I like the open and weekend update and 1 or 2 skits, usually.
Was that actually Andy Cohen in the picture pushing the lawn mower? The lighting around the head almost made it seem that his face had been photoshopped.
Girl, you have to get Netflix. You would lose your mind over Lupin.
The hubs and I are finally getting over Covid a month later.
Glad to hear you are feeling better!
