Saturday Night Live
On twitter somebody posted this bracket run off and prompted arguments about which decade was better. 
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Okay I'll try... Mr Robinson region. Murphy over Sweeney, Nealon over Fallon (talented just not funny), Strong over Hammond, Morris over Thompson, Chase over Dunn, Carvey over Killam, Rock over Bryant (she funny tho), Radner over Kattan.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I watched it so little in the last decade that it's not fair of me to join in.
There is definitely this unwarranted hero worship of the original cast that is thankfully abating. The original cast was breaking ground and everything was wild and crazy, but the skits don't hold up at all, and it makes you wonder if they were really that funny back then.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Oteri is technically funnier. Armisen is only funny in the same way that David Byrne is a good singer.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Today, Jason Sudeikis would blow Dennis Miller out of the water. I mean, freakin' Ted Lasso vs. a basic nobody.
But at the time time, Jason Sudeikis was forgettable on SNL, and Dennis Miller was a snarky, wry wit. He was outstanding.

Re: Saturday Night Live
The current cast is fairly strong, especially the women. Kate McKinnon has been great, and Sarah Sherman seems pretty good so far.

Re: Saturday Night Live
One of my favorite people to see (or hear, doing a voice-over) post-SNL is Chris Parnell. From the hapless AM radio announcer in Hot Rod, to Dr. Spaceman in 30 Rock, to the voice of Jerry on Rick and Morty. He was on [url=!_Bang!_(TV_series)]Comedy Bang! Bang![/url] numerous times and if you've never seen that, and you're a fan of every comedian ever you should check it out.
The funniest thing I've seen in years is I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, SNL writer, and, briefly, cast member (you may have seen "Roundball Rock" with Jason Sudeikis, also a recurring character on ITYSL)
A guy I never cared about until I read the IMDB for We Bare Bears is Bobby Moynihan, the voice of Panda. A funny performance that's kind of like a softer version of ATHF's "Master Shake"

So many quotable lines.
Tim Robinson came back after the lock-downs to empathize with our pandemic depression, through highly relatable, albeit absurd characters that said how we're all feeling. Sometimes we're all Karl Havoc and "don't even wanna be around anymore" because there's "too much sh!t on me." Another thing I will say about ITYSL is it's one of the most representational of every age, race, and gender shows I've ever seen. Tim Robinson is a saint, he has a heart of gold.
eta: glatt, you're welcome and I'm glad you're a fan!

He's great in Archer, too.
