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.

"Looks like the Backlash is beginning."

No.

'SNL' scores highest ratings in 6 years with Alec Baldwin as host

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

Yes, but we will see from this point on if as the NYTIMES says the audience will tire of it as some critics are beginning to

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.

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)

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.

Melissa McCarthy is so game for anything I totally heart that woman <3. Even when stuff goes off, she makes it work.  Spicer and the dolls- A good old fashioned pie in the face to the nth degree and dolphin mom.  and now a 5 timers club member!

I liked the Leslie Jones & Kyle Mooney's "marriage" bit  esp the shooting . 

Alec Baldwins Trump-  "you'll wish it were Judge Judy"

B+ A-

I just watched the DVR and when McCarthy does Spicer...well, just get her Emmy ready.

I think SNL was setting up the WH dumping Spicer (in real life) the way Baldwin gives Spicer the "Kiss of Death".

And lastly, I think [one of the] best lines was Paul Ryan saying, "He (trump) feeds me dog food".

With any luck, come September, things will be better...or we'll all be nuked.

Sorry, much prefer Sudakis.  Carrey, IMO, overdoes every role he’s ever played.

I thought Carey was good until he threw in some of his trade mark mugging.

The show as a whole was ok. I really liked the bottom of your face rap video. Expected the news segment to be have a bit more edge.

Really wish they would go back to having less mainstream musical guests that all sing live. She was actually lip synching last night. And at a few points not well. 

I may have missed something but was Kate Mckinnon not in studio?

Two incredible performances by Meg, really enjoyed her. I loved Carrey's Biden, is was pretty perfect. Kate was there, she showed up in the one of best moments last night.

Sometimes it feels like things need more rehearsal and other times everything clicks. The timing was off in most sequences. The debate sketch could have been trimmed and the Kamala character could have been used differently. But everything had to be reworked on Friday after Trump announced his covid19 status, so the skits reflected that.

I do think that the woman who does impersonations (Drew Barrymore) masters it quite well.

Yeah, it did kind of show that things were re-worked. I was laying here wishing that they had just gone for it. It's SNL and that's what we kind of expect them to do. 

Sutton, totally forgot about that moment. She looks a bit different. I had to do a double take.

Watching an episode of Shrill now, and she does look slightly thinner in the face (comparing it with the video from her Weekend Update bit). I would guess that she's just in the process of losing some weight, as opposed to having work done.

Glad they didn't hold any punches with the opener. (FT!)

Can't wait to see what they write for Punkie Johnson - newest member. Her sets are fcking incredible live. Been a fan since 2011.

Tonight was more of what I expected from last week's premier. They pretty much covered everything.  And Jack White was the perfect musical guest.

The mafia sketch was pretty funny, Weekend Update pushed a few envelopes and had me on the floor. (Kate McKinnon killed it) Love'd Burr's monologue. JMO

I agree, Kate was great on Weekend Update. I was laughing out loud. Bill Burr seems like a decent actor.....
