Sometimes it is risqué, sometimes it is funny, and sometimes . . . they just fall in.

The sketch ideas inventors and script writers are trying their best, bless them!

Don't mind watching it at times, but haven't seen the latest.

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy-duddy, the hosts and musical guests are usually people I never heard of and the rest of the show isn't all that funny to me. I even forgot to watch it last night. Looks like I didn't miss anything............

Time for Lorne Michael's to hang it up.

I can see why he lost so much talent this last year.
