Yes, John Adams, that skit was great.

Looks like the Backlash is beginning. 

Review:  NYTIMES: ‘S.N.L.’ Targets Trump Again, With a Hint of Exhaustion

If President Trump’s shock-and-awe attack on truth, decorum and liberal sensibilities is intended to bludgeon his opponents into submission, “Saturday Night Live” felt like his latest victim this weekend.

No.

The one thing Trump has managed to make great again is SNL.

It will be hard to decouple how much people are tiring of Trump and his cronies, and at some point, the comic nature will just be seen as tragic, in which case we won't find SNL funny anymore, either. But I don't see how anyone will be able to separate those two things and make it purely qualitative about SNL.

Damn they need better writers.

SNL is HUGE now.

Disappointed.  There were a few moments ( Minnies Pie & Kate's Kelly Anne meme)  but for the most part B level material. ( serioulsy WTF was the Chucky Chocolate  guy bit?) Octavia was hardly given anything to work with. C (c+ only for the new segment)

Future Republican Hero TBD was total genius, in my opinion, and gave me my money's worth!

the bobby Moynihan voiceover was just so perfect.

I felt like the worst part of the night were the trump brothers on weakened update. That whole joke fell flat for me.
