I was there for show way back in early 90s. Many skits are hard to see from seat you are in and monitors are kinda small Plus equipment n crew in front.

This is hysterical. Kristen Wig's Kathy Lee is good no doubt but Cheri Oteri is next level.

[@jarmarnewell]

Kathy Lee is American businesswoman. And she knew nothing about no sweat shops.

[@davidmitchell6873]

This is good but Wiigs is better.

[@shawnuel]

@@davidmitchell6873 Agreed. Wiig's has nuance to it. Cheri pretty much just chews the scenery here. And there needs to be something in an impersonation that tethers it to the subject, at least a little bit and Oteri's doesn't seem to, IMO.

[@aarondigby5054]

Where and when? I don’t believe Kathy Lee laughed at this skit WHATSOEVER! Kathy Lee is a Prima Donna and sees her life as one of perfection! The Kristen Wiig skit where Wiig sings “Everyone Has a Story” was not at all liked by Kathy Lee, in fact, she went as far as to say it wasn’t funny and Wiig could not sing! You could tell that she was very irritated that Wiig chose to sing one of Lee’s favorite songs and she responded as such!

[@carlsaganlives4036]

@@scottpollack5453 Yer right, she isn't a good sport or funny herself - which just makes her more ripe for picking - as far as I know she didn't call for a boycott/cancellation/firing of anyone, though...unlike Mr. Free Speech vs Alec Baldwin.

One of the rare SNL sketches of the past 10 years where everyone wasn't staring at cue cards. It had good writing and some actual comedic acting and went somewhere. Most sketches are based on a flimsy idea that is funny for 20 seconds that they beleaguer for way too long.

[@andrealuvshouse]

That’s not fair. Yes, they all rehearse. They ALL do. But they’ve used cue cards since the show went on the air. I’d venture to say that the only difference is that today’s cue cards are on a TelePromptR. And today’s cast is just as talented and funny as most of the earlier casts.
