Does he not understand inflection?

I have no idea when he gets to the punchline.

HILLARY:For the most part, Natalie, I agree with you about Colin Jost.

Its kind of hypnotizing.)

I have a feeling youre gonna disagree.

NAT:I do not disagree that Kate McKinnon is the MVP of Weekend Update sketches in recent years.

And Drunk Uncle is a safe bet for comedy, even if its become a little repetitive.

I could actually do with a complete Weekend Update makeover, especially since this year marksSNLs 40th anniversary.

Everyone from Jane Curtin and Bill Murray to Norm Macdonald to Poehler and Fey could take a turn.

Forget the comedy; viewers would be tuning in just to see the guest anchor.

Lets be honest: More often than not, their jokes dont quite land.

Because they have to do this same thing week in and week out.

It would make the franchise exciting again.

I cant get behind that.

The same wouldve been true for Dana Carveys Grumpy Old Man or Kevin Nealons Mr. Subliminal.

NAT:Fair point.

Did the character get better, or did I just give in?

HILLARY:But thats the whole point!

The bones are therebut Im with you in thinking that right now, theyre not reallydancing.
