    • It’s a little better this year. Especially the cold open debate sketch on tonight’s show.

      • I think sometimes they’ve worried too much about whether they’re “cool enough” or appealing to the hip young desired audience instead of worrying about whether the sketches are, like, funny.

  • Louis C.K. AND fun.?

    As long as the writing is okay, this could potentially be the best episode in a long, long time.

  • I was very excited when I saw that! Bruno Mars is KILLING it tonight! This is the best show since the Jimmy Fallon Christmas show last year! I had high hopes for Bruno and he has met them! And tonight was the BEST Stefon ever! Bring on Louis, but let Louis be Louis (or Louie, as need be).

    • Really, I didn’t think it was that great.

  • Oh, please don’t let fun. sing “We Are Young” because, ironically, it sounds like a funeral song than a youth anthem!

    • I think they’ve moved past We Are Young at this point, although I don’t agree with your pigeon-holing of that song.

    • If I had to make a prediction, I’d say they’ll do “Some Nights” and “Carry On”. I agree with TV Gord; I think they’re done with “We Are Young”.

    • Actually, Nate wrote it about the night that he got super drunk at a Panic! at the Disco show.
      I think they’ll play it and Carry On, which is their latest single.

    • It’s well known so it will probably be the second of their songs. I’d imagine Carry On will be the first as that’s their new single.

      Personally I’d love to see Stars, but doubt very much that will happen.

  • Yay! Love him. He never fails to make me laugh, so, don’t screw this up this gem, SNL.

  • Finally!

  • Louis CK is an anti-Catholic bigot. SNL should be ashamed for making him a host…

    • Perhaps the church should have been a little less concerned with protecting their pedophile priests and more concerned with protecting children, Christy.
