Not your fault. At all. If you've seen the show, you quickly realize that the "categories" can be incredibly vague. One person had "Simpsons Actors" which consisted of pictures of actors who voiced characters on the show--NOT pictures of the characters themselves. This included guest spots, and people who played themselves. So random.

Vocally, maybe. Appearance-wise, Rob Lowe is supposed to look like the illegitimate son of Charles Rocket (Lowe has the square jawline and piercing blue eyes that Charles Rocket had).

He seems to be doing well, and I’ve been very lucky.” They hugged as the cameras cut for the close of the show. They follow each other on social media. They very clearly don’t hate each other.

pretty sure it ended like that because Shane fucked it up, i think he took her line by mistake. He seems very unprepared, just look at his monologue, he recycled material from his Netflix special. You don't do that on SNL, everyone knows you're supposed to come up with fresh material. I mean, I don't know a lot about the comedy biz, but i do know you're not supposed to re-use jokes from your specials because at that point they're considered burned. Fans don't like hearing the same jokes told over and over again. It's the ultimate comedy faux pas. The audience deserves more respect than that
