Curiosity made me look this up. Fucking hell, I had no idea. 

And did you see the rest of the cast? It's the Yewtree yearbook.

Nope, all Wiki gave me beyond that was 'contributions from Richard Herring' and that was enough for me to pass.

He's setting the bar high there, I'm sure. I remember when I listened to his podcast one time he demonstrated how metal Fozzy were by playing their cover of Abba's SOS.

I like the idea of the US SNL but even watching it a bit on Sky it's not great. Overlong sketches with people doing silly voices that make no sense.

It's perfect for YouTube where you can just watch the one or two good sketches and the cold open and skip the dross.

I've heard that the reason the sketches are always way too long is because they spend a lot of time and money on the sets and want to get the most out them. Considering the show's been going on for nearly 50 years it's pretty incredible that they've never found a solution for this.

They're overlong because they need to fill time to make a show. It's as simple as that. The writer's room must be hell, trying to turn over that much material week in week out.

[dopper]

Former SNL writers like Conan O'Brien & John Mulaney have talked in length about how insane show weeks are, times when they would sometimes be in the writers room for over 24 hours at a time trying to put ideas together.  

Its not as though they can write shows in their Summer breaks, ready for the new season to begin. They start each Monday morning with a blank slate that needs turning into an hour-long variety show later that same week.

 

I just watch the cold open & Weekend Update parts on YouTube most weeks.

“Who’d ever expect a metal band to cover ABBA, huh?”

Probably the several ABBA Metal Tribute albums that had come out a decade before you did it Chris.

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than spend Christmas with this lot.

Oh Jamie, why have you lowered yourself like this.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I hope Onyx2 and PunkStep have a terrible Christmas for this.
