Hold it, no love for the expert way to button up the long game Weekend Update runner that was Norm’s theory that “Germans Love David Hasselhoff” that concluded with The Hoff saying “Germans love me.”
A missed opportunity just hit me. Granted it’s an IYKYK, you had to have been there in terms of the date of the episode posting. But this was the date of the total eclipse, and considering the nature of the season, a reference could have been made ;)
IDK, I really think if we somehow get this guy reanimated and made HIM House Speaker, regardless of the majority at any point, more shit might actually get done! https://youtu.be/PSqcaAQti4g?si=KEIzJqWncNUoOTEJ
Interesting note on Garafalo, she is in Kevin Smith’s 1999 movie Dogma as the friend and co-worker at the start of the movie for the main protagonist Bethany, and she is only in that sequence.
Due to her hitting it off well with Kevin and the rest of the cast and crew, combined with the Bethany actress Linda Fiorentino’s lack of connecting with the other cast members and all around attitude on set, it makes Smith still consider it a regrettable casting decision. Pretty much to this day he’ll say Garafalo should have been in the Bethany part, and not Fiorentino.
Obviously there are a few holdovers into next year, including Spade, Norm and Meadows. But this being Molly’s debut season made me think of how you can pretty much link every season’s cast going back to Season 6, even without cheating with Keenan Thompson or counting Darrell Hammond’s announcing gig.
Obviously S5 being the only true “en mass” slate cleaning of a cast. But 45 years of the chain is nothing to sneeze at
I like Molly a lot in general but I really don't like some of her recurring characters (I do like Delicious Dish and Goth Talk but those come later). I think you're going to see a lot of those next season.
I wonder if Mohr’s scandal influenced a similar runner on Aaron Sorkin’s Studio 60.
Though I think Sorkin used it as a way of saying “oh who cares, everyone steals from everyone, who really knows where the original line even came from anyway.
For reference, DJ Hughley’s character is a news segment anchor on Studio 60’s errazant SNL and goes on a rift written by a staffer struggling to get shit on the show. The show, WHILE ITS AIRING (2006ish) gets alerted that controversy is brewing as a YouTube clip of a comic saying an exact line that the show did has gone viral.
Now why I think Aaron Sorkin dismisses plagerism as a concept is, even though Hughley’s character and the show’s producers take it so gravely serious that an apology and proper attribution is filmed for the West Coast feed, a comedy of errors occurs where not only does the stand-up admit that he stole the line from someone else, it is then revealed that the lines actually came from a long ago former writer on the show, FOR THE SHOW! It literally was found in a file folder in some archive, but the point is, much like…IDK maybe shouting GOOD NIGHT AND HAVE A PLEASANT TOMORROW, the show owned the bit so they were free to use it however they saw fit. Stealing from themselves!
Finally after the show had wrapped, they decided to just redo the entire segment for rebroadcast purposes since they recorded over the original segment for the west coast feed version. Hughley’s character quips as they are getting ready “This was not the comedy we intended to do tonight!”

Season 10 to 11?

Scot: Right. Obviously none of those characters made an appearance this season. It was just nice to see someone who decided to exert a little effort.
Absolutely, she's great this year.
