TV #15 of 2019:
Saturday Night Live, season 44
The current iteration of this sketch comedy show can be kinda hit-or-miss, and I don’t know if I’d have the patience to binge a whole season after the fact. It’s pretty fun to watch on a weekly basis, though, especially for the topical political humor in the Weekend Update segments and beyond. I can’t think of any all-time-classic bits from this season, but I did really enjoy Adam Sandler’s recent advertisement for Romano Tours of Italy, the way-too-close-to-home What’s That Name game show, and the delightful weirdness in Bok Bok and Cheques. I’ll be quoting lines from those skits for a while yet.
