Saturday Night Live: Summer 2020 Off-season Catch-all

May 15, 2020 5:47 AM - All Seasons

A place for discussion of departures, arrivals, rumors, and extracurricular activities and other projects between Season 45 (the pre-pandemic / SNL At Home season) and Season 46 (the... well, who knows? season).

I have to think the balance of strengths between castmembers has become complicated by At Home, as far as who is kept on and who is let go for next season, whenever "next season" emerges. I mean, TV seasons themselves might (finally!) get redefined if we're still here like this in a year. Or two.

My god, The Digital Short Extra, "YOUR HOUSE", is hilarious.

^^^Oh and there are many reasons why: the timing, the variety of cast members (and their houses) the callbacks, just everything about it is what a great SNL sketch is these days.

Also Alex Moffatt nails it in this solo skit, a trailer for a covid-rom-com movie. I think he's channeling the more intelligent aspects of David Spade in this one. I hope we see more of these extra skits over the spring and summer. I even liked the other Moffatt solo skit. Just not enough to link to it. (And I usually love anything he does. That one, ... okay.)

Hah, those are both good! Props for the David Spade redemption arc, too.
