They seem to have added 3 new cast members, all white guys with stupid indie hair.
Darrell Hammond is back for his 72nd season. Two more years and he will break the record currently held by Tim Meadows.
They really need to have a section in the opening credits that covers all the people who left. There must be some people who aren't around anymore, but I don't know who.
It seems like Saturday Night Live is losing its relevance. I am hoping that it is just because it is the first episode, so they have the whole summer's worth of news to cover, but the political humor was too similar to what I have seen on the internet or on The Daily Show. Unless the writing is perfect; however, a weekly show will be nowhere near as relevant as a blog that can be updated constantly, or a show that is on every night.
I suppose though that the recycled political humor is okay if it is reaching a somewhat different audience.
This cast has potential. So far the new people seem to be pretty good. The key is always the 2nd half of the show though. If they can have funny sketches on after the first musical performance, then it's a good show.
I just caught the tail end of an ad that showed a couple of dodgy guys making crystal meth. The ad said something to the effect of "Know who your chemist is". Sweet. Now I know to buy my meth from reliable sources.
Ha. That bit with Mike Myers and Kanye West was brilliant.
