Glad to see Chappelle is back, and just as funny as ever.

Me too. No edits or beeps at all. I'm glad they didn't do it either.I was surprised NBC let the N-bombs fly like that
you can watch it on the SNL youtube pagewhere can I stream this? *edit* can I stream this? IoI
The second he left (and one or two others) that's when the show dipped in quality again and even before that they were not matching the comedy of the Ferrell and co. days.Its just hard ro reinvent the comedic wheel. Andy Samberg and his crew offered a fresh start post Will Ferrell and things just fell into place. Now the show just doesn't have an identity
Another thing is that the show alternates with times in which the show has good writing, and when the show such as good performers such as Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and the likes. Right now, the show doesn't have those performers, they need better writers.The second he left (and one or two others) that's when the show dipped in quality again and even before that they were not matching the comedy of the Ferrell and co. days.
SNL need another Eddie Murphy era. Too bad funny ppl have so many more avenues to success.
Oh man, Kyle Mooney is insanely not funny. I get he has a specific type of humor he goes for I just find no humor in it.
So bad. Especially when he started doing the shorts as a replacement for Andy :x
I just noticed after seing his name mentioned that Jay Pharoah is no longer on the show I want to say he was there last season. Oh well.
That background for how they're choosing new cast members is on point as well. They're experimenting more. Although to me a lot of the white guys are not unique enough to stand out even when they get the chances. They dropped the ball not letting Pete Davidson talk his **** weekly
Writing is a whole other problem.
But Wild N Out is the corniest show on television
Jamie Foxx I thinkwell you answered your own Kyle question there lol.
Jay got a new show coming on with a famous comedian I can't remember who. He said it on the breakfast show in an interview lately.

It was cool in it's first run. I don't watch it now that they brought it back.That show was very funny until they started overproducing it, and bringing on every YouTube/twitter/vine comedian they can find. That type of comedy doesn't always translate well in front of an audience
As a regular SNL viewer, this ep with Chappelle is one of the best episodes of this decade. If not the best. The reason why this episode in particular worked so well, is because Dave does not abide by PC rules when it comes to his comedy. He was given free reign to say what he wanted. To his credit Lorine Michaels didn't put any restrictions on Dave. So that monologue was Dave at his rawest. I think much to it's detriment, SNL tries too hard to play it safe when it comes to their brand of comedy.
Rock and Seinfeld also refuse to perform at college campuses (bastions of frail feelings).
dave said N**** and P***** but its Dave and he should do what he wants not to mention its his first TV appearance in how long?
That's why Comedy Central is way more appreciated to comics and whatever projects they green light. South Park once said that he thought a joke was too offensive and he had gotten backlash from viewers and they thought about apologising to the public whatever it was. CC said "No don't apologise. Because if you apologise for that joke you're going to have to apologise for everything deemed inappropriate past present future" and that's been CC since forever. safe haven for comics if you will.
Well, to be fair SNL has outlasted all of it's competition combined. Yes, they've gone through periods where their cast and writers were subpar. But overall SNL has become an institution that has yet to be seriously challenged.If Lorne would've stayed true to that program in the past, he would've landed two major comedic talents during and after the Eddie Murphy years: Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans...but NOPE. Rejected one, fired the other, and the FOX Network was forever grateful.
