SNL in Transition

Saturday Night Live has been unbelievably dreadful during its first 3 episodes this season. Jay Pharoah is the only bright spot and he's only been on twice. His Will Smith impression 2 episodes ago was wasted since he was sitting next to the smuggest prick ever (Seth Myers) but his Denzel Washington impression was better both in setting and delivery. But why did the writers have to say it was Denzel before he came out - it would have been better if the audience would have slowly realized who it was.

I like the Denzel impression.

I like Seth more than you......you had to love the obama podium/2 years early joke.

I liked the Obama joke but didn't everyone think of that joke earlier in the week on the day it happened?

I remember Hader's first big sketch was Al Pacino calling into a bank. Pharoah could have similar success but they need to dump Wiig, who's repeating her repetition at this point. And they need to dump Myers who should be held accountable since he's chief writer.

Will Forte's inspired craziness is sorely missed at this point.
