Minding the P’s and
Q’s of SNL
QUALITY: Enjoy our Deep Thoughts on SNL podcast! Subscribe, listen, enjoy! And heck, join in if you feel so inclined, through twitter!
QUALITY: What an
emotional homecoming for Tracy Morgan, just as you knew it would be! 30 Rock
reunion! Brian Fellow! Spaceman Jones! Yes, even Woodrow there to teach Willie
the life lessons that helped a guy who lives under a bridge nab the likes of
Kate Hudson and Britney Spears.
QUALITY: You’ve
heard it everywhere in the last couple of days of course, by Larry David is an
inspired casting choice for the shockingly effective Democratic candidate
Bernie Sanders. Which also buries the lead on the fact that Alec Baldwin put in
multiple appearances on the show, and reprised good ol’ Jack for a hot second.
PROBLEMATIC:
Speaking of candidates, all the Canadians who read this or take part in the
Fantasy League, or listen to the Deep Thoughts podcast, remember that MONDAY is
your time to vote! Go to elections.ca to make sure you’re ready to vote! It
doesn’t matter whom you vote for, as long as you vote. Ensure that you have
everything you need to choose the representation that you want! MONDAY 9:30am
to 9:30pm.
QUALITY: For
those who might be curious, the technology is available to keep track of
individual totals, for each cast member this season. As we head into the first
break of the season the Top Five Points Getters, using our completely
unscientific and barely mathematical SNL Fantasy League points system: 1) Taran
Killam, 2) Kate McKinnon, 3) Kenan Thompson, 4) Kyle Mooney, 5) Vanessa Bayer! No
other cast member has totaled over 100 points so far this season.
PROBLEMATIC: The
second musical guest crying during their second song, in three episodes, is an
awkward spotlight on the cloying nature of pop music. I understand that they’re
Disney kids first, and so a bit of dramatic stage craft is in their blood… but
I don’t have to like it, for it’s inherit insincerity masquerading as the
opposite. Demi Lovato DID impress though with her ability to sing, even if it
isn’t my bag of tricks.
QUALITY: This is
the best episode so far this year, I mean how could it not be? It’s a call back
to the second Golden Age of the show, in the late 90’s and early 2000’s (or,
you know, the era that I grew up watching)… and Tracy Morgan will be a tough
sentimental favorite to beat in the Host Unofficial Power Rankings, this
season.

The Team You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At
The Party is the third different team to
take home the top score of the episode, in the Hartman Group. Something that
helped them jump from eighth to third overall. Though The Not Ready For
First Place Players have scored less points
each episode, for the first three episodes, the drop each episode has been
minimal, and the teams consistency has been it's key for the top score so far
in this Chase for the Hartman Trophy! Though Billion Dollar Murrays are still in second, though entire Group
has gotten closer, proving that things could very well shift next episode.

Skanky Little Prostitutes
are the third team to top the episode top score board, in the Radner Group,
with a score that's almost twenty points higher then the nearest competition. After
they jumped from fifth to second overall, the team could very well have the top
score after the Donald Trump hosted episode! The Dark, Clenched Hole of

stays strong in fourth place in the Myers Group, while the rest of the top half
of the overall standings shuffle, as two and three trade places from last

to top the episode scoreboard TWICE, but they are tied with Effie
Villalopolus' Professional Complainers
for the top spot in the Group tanks to another high scoring episode from the E.V.P.C. and an appearance from Tina Fey this week!
Of the four teams that didn’t make Song Choices, three of those teams were in
the Farley Group, which is your least important fact of the week! Speaking of
Song Choices though, Miss Swan’s Lowered Expectations made a second consecutive first/second correct pick-up!

The Night Crawlerz
grab the highest score of the season so far, overall, with help from being a
six-team Group, but also by drafting not only Tina Fey but also Alec Baldwin in
the Prospectus Host Draft! In fact, The Night Crawlerz have more points then Total Bastard Airlines and Crisis of Conformity
combined! It's the kind of episode that has pushed The Night Crawlerz into a commanding lead in the Belushi Group
after the first trio of episodes, while becoming the first team past the 500
mark. “Cool for the Summer” was the two points that Nuni and the Hair Chair needed to pass Harry Caray’s BBQ Moon
Ribs in this episode’s point standings. Crisis
of Conformity dips from third to sixth,
with 60 less points then last week, while they’re opposition more or less all
improved or kept stable.

The one-two punch of
Killam and McKinnon has finally paid off for Haders to the Left, who top the Poehler Group scores on this
episode. The battle continues between Haders to the Left, and Heather From Work, as the big week also brings Haders to
the Left into first place overall in the Poehler
Group as well. Lazy Sunfeys are
helped by a Tina Fey appearance, as well as a strong night from Kenan Thompson
alongside Tracy Morgan, to jump from fifth to third place overall in the
Poehler Group!
What a difference three weeks make! Though we won’t be able
to set our watch to the points that were collected in the premiere trio of
shows to start Season 41, it might become a good representation of things to
come! Of course, don’t rule out the course corrections, cast introductions, or
late season surges that could change the outcome of any one of our six groups!
It’ll be THREE WEEKS until Donald Trump (probably) hosts SNL
(ugh), with Musical Guest SIA! Also, let The
Ignorant Sluts’ Matthew Smith be the first to make this joke, “Sia is so
embarrassed to be on the same episode as Donald Trump she's refusing to even
show her face.”
