I am REALLY curious about what SNL will do this week.

They can’t ignore Al Franken after the treatment they’ve given 45 and likely Moore (though I missed last week so don’t know what they did re Moore). I think if they were smart they’d lean into the discrepancy between the sides, Show Franken apologizing and being pilloried by the left and Moore denying in spite of a plethora of accusations and being sanctified by the right. But they have to be really careful.

Thoughts?

The writers are fast, they crank out more skits than ever make it on to the show, and the whole cast is good at improv. It's usually just the guest host who needs a lot of rehearsal time.
