@@mezzb NEWSFLASH: We don’t all have the same sense of humor. For instance, I have no idea why people find Adam Sandler funny-his sense of humor sounds completely moronic to me; OTOH, Josh Johnson cracks me up because he tells stories with funny bits along the way, and the payoff line at the end ties the whole routine together. Also, where are those cue card people? They’re not on stage, which is where they’d have to be to prompt people to clap-you can’t make people laugh by holding up a sign.

[@jessi2077]

[@Nimesay1]

[@jodybanks5344]

Maybe because you don’t even know what humor or comedy is and so you watch SNL because it’s a socialist honeypot of stupid? And you just feel at home . I’m guessing . That’s why I’m in a great mood

@@dbboykid10 , all those skits that Leslie did was like her stand-up and she was playing herself. Loud, in-your-face blunt. And jokes about her life. That's her style. She was the same way in her super funny reactions to Game of Thrones episodes and that has nothing to do with her being on SNL.

[@mizstories9646]

This is so cute!!! What I take from this is that they have had feelings for each other for a long time but for some reason or another (fear of rejection, too nervous to act, ect..), neither one of them told the other about it. They are so happy about finally opening up, and the added bonus that their feelings are reciprocated, that they aren't really concerned with anything else. Even, apparently golf ball sized, pieces of ice falling from the sky and serious flooding. How romantic lol. I think it's adorable!!
