Louis CK finishes off SNL’s 40th season as Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton returns, Riblet steals Che’s jorb, and Kia clarifies once and for all that he is not a pedophile.

This week, our Best Skit of the Night honors go to “Police Lineup” – a funny send-up of New York actor types auditioning to be a criminal.

It’s summertime, everybody!  But we’re not done yet.  In two weeks, tune in for our Best of the Spring Season Spectacular!  We’re going to go through all our Best Skits and pick the best one.

Kia and Vince have run of the asylum as Scott takes a break to celebrate his birthday (what a silly goose).  Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live celebrates Mother’s Day with Reese Witherspoon, hosting for the first time since 2001 (Amy Poehler’s first episode to be exact).

Plus: The return of SNL Trivia! The answers may surprise you!

The Best Skit of the Night honors went to the Southern Ladies skit for its quirkiness, oddly specific minutiae, and Kate McKinnon’s silly hair.

And with that, we’re just one episode away from the Season Finale and our “Best of Season 40 (Since We Started) Spectacular!”

Start your morning on the right side of the bed with Tuesday Morning Pod!  It’s been 3 weeks, but Scott and Vince are back to talk about Scarlett Johansson’s 4th time hosting.  Join us to hear our thoughts on Weekend Update’s recent improvements, ScarJo and Pete Yorn’s band, and if anyone can have more fun with wigs than Taran Killam. Also, Vince stumps Scott with some SNL and Baseball Trivia.

The best skit of the night was the Black Widow trailer.

The 2nd best skit of the night was Jay Pharaoh’s reaction to ScarJo spoiling the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.  Just…watch Pharaoh’s face.

Tuesday Morning Pod: Taraji P. Henson (Season 40, Episode 18)

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

tmp40-18Taraji P. Henson hosted this week’s Saturday Night Live, and boy, was Cookie a real Monster.

While an uneven episode, there was a little something for everyone – the return of Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton, QVC cat jokes, Empire/Sesame Street mashups, and super racist A League of Their Own parodies.

All that and more in this week’s Tuesday Morning Pod!

Overall, there were a lot of skits that were good premise, but not much payoff.  Even so, there were some fantastic belly laughs to be had.

This week’s Best Skit of the Night was a controversial decision.  It was Scott and Kia’s favorite, but definitely not Vince’s favorite (because Vince is a good feminist).  It was Teacher Trial.

Tuesday Morning Pod: Michael Keaton (Season 40, Episode 17)

It’s showtime! Michael Keaton hosts SNL for a very, very weird night. Guys, there were Dire Straits jokes. And Johnny Dangerously jokes! And cats dressed as Hillary Clinton!

Kia couldn’t make it onto this week’s record, but our good friend Chris Dobson from the Your Stupid Minds podcast guests on our latest episode.

Please listen and subscribe and then remember to call your grandmother!

The best skit of the night was Easter Candy, a very weird (no surprise) little skit.

Easter Candy is a recurring skit of an Ed Norton skit from last season. It’s also pretty funny!

Tuesday Morning Pod: Dwayne Johnson (Season 40, Episode 16)

It’s Fast & Furious week here at All My Friends Are Right Here!  Dwayne Johnson hosts Saturday Night Live for the 4th time (and our second “D. Johnson” in 3 episodes).

Join Scott, Kia, and Vince for their thoughts on The Rock Obama, wrestling promos, and truly impressive cartwheels.

Disney’s Bambi made a valiant effort for “Skit of the Night”, but the panel ultimately decided that WWE Promo Shoot was the stronger bit.

Next week, join us as Michael Keaton hosts for the 1st time in 23 years!

Tuesday Morning Pod: Chris Hemsworth (Season 40, Episode 15)

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

tmp40-15

Thor hosted this week’s Saturday Night Live, so that gives Scott, Vince, and featured player Kia ample time to talk about Thor’s muscles, Avengers minutiae, and ugly Hemsworth brothers.

This week’s best skit was the Hillary Clinton Cold Open.  That’s not to say that the episode was all downhill from the beginning.  It was just a nice, strong introduction to a new Kate McKinnon impression. Her Hillary should be fun going into the 2016 election season.

Oh, and Kia’s screener somehow missed the Beck Bennett/Kyle Mooney “Reality House”.  So I’ve included it below for him.

Tuesday Morning Pod: Dakota Johnson (Season 40, Episode 14)

Fresh from the 40th Anniversary Special, Saturday Night Live welcomes Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) into the hosting chair.

tmp4-14

Scott, Kia, and Vince come back from hiatus to see how she fared. Did she do a good jorb? Even though we could say what we wanna say, we literally cannot say.

There was a lot of controversy over the best skit tonight, but ultimately, we have to give it to the Father Daughter Ad (or as we know it, “The Isis One”).

Tune in next week as Chris “Thor” Hemsworth hosts with musical guest, The Zac Brown Band!
