Saturday Night Live Fantasy League: Episode 41x20: Drake
May 16, 2016PROBLEMATIC: When it comes to political satire, SNL is still dead in the water. They have been since the Trump hosted episode. They STILL don't know how to approach him as a character, but at least Michael Che, and to a lesser extent Colin Jost, are digging into him on Weekend Update. Even the Hillary/Bernie material has been dangerously skewed. Dangerous in terms of bias, of course.

Skanky Little Prostitutes have been in the lead, strongly, since the Ariana Grande hosted-episode, and with no Host points in the Finale, it doesn't look like Lil Baby Aidy will be able to close the 107 point gap in time!

Currently with more Host points then any other Saturday Night Live Fantasy League participant, Organic Wifi have been practically using Kate McKinnon as a shield to hold back any other team who might possibily take the lead away from them, since episode 10! Barring a miracle, the second year team have got the Wayne's World Championship locked up, and the closest race is for second place!

The Farley Group is competing for The Little Coat, forever connected to Chris Farley for obvious reasons. Luckily if there was ever a tie we'd have two halves, but you can also look at this as our version of the Masters green jacket.

The great weird reoccurring character that didn't happen for John Belushi, if not for the insistence of Buck Henry. The winner of the Belushi Group takes home Samurai John's Sword of Destiny!

Save for half a season of Cecily Strong, no Weekend Update anchor is more known as a performer then Amy Poehler. Yet in helping bridge the gap between Tina Fey and Seth Myers, Amy Poehler is likely best known for the Update desk and thus the winner of the Poehler Group will take home the Weekend Warrior Award! Also supporting the fact that this Fantasy League is all for working for the weekend!

Speaking of next week, it's the SEASON FINALE of Saturday Night Live, Courtney Barnett is the Musical Guest with your Host... Fred Armisen! I'm still coming to terms with this, and it's not just because I personally blanked on picking a host this season. Though that's probably part of it. ONE WEEK LEFT, y'all!
