It must be one of the most fun jobs in the world to be writing for SNL.

8. It was great to see Alec Baldwin again and Jimmy Fallon is terrific at impersonations

But I thought that James Corden was the best in that one, he was hysterical as Boris Johnson!

They tend to do that, as they did with Robert De Niro as Robert Mueller last year!

Watching SNL was a highlight for me when I lived in the States. This was back in the days when it was still John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, etc.

12. Oh, we watched it from pretty much the beginning as well

My parents still remember when a friend of mine was out and about with a couple friends when it was time for it to be on and stopped by our house just to watch it with us!

It makes no sense that the videos would be blocked, but I've heard from our Canadian neighbors here that some of them are inaccessible there too.

It will connect to a server in the U.S. and it thinks you are in the U.S so you can see it. They are pretty cheap.

But it is a work connection, and it blocks just about everything not company-related due to security concerns. The thing is programmed by our HQ in the States, and I have no idea how that works.

question everything

some are too juvenile for this old boomer's taste..

Jennifer Lopez looked great and adding the Rockettes was a nice touch.

Thanks, Rhiannon12866 for posting these.
