Watching SNL and just saw it announced!

SusiGo · October 23, 2016 10:07 am

Sounds amazing!

This Is The Phantom Lady · October 23, 2016 10:13 am

Omg! I've always wanted that!

Ivy · October 23, 2016 11:19 am

That's great...I guess

KeepersPrice · October 23, 2016 1:28 pm

Oh, this is gonna be good! Can't wait to see what they dream up for him to do.

tonnaree · October 23, 2016 1:44 pm

Please let them have some good material for him!

Ivy · October 23, 2016 4:56 pm

I like the fact that's on the 5th of November

Yeah I'm hoping for good stuff,too. No clichés please (and no mentioning of otters or cumberbitches)

This Is The Phantom Lady · October 23, 2016 5:00 pm

Remember, remember!

SusiGo · October 23, 2016 5:02 pm

Any possibility to watch this? NBC does not seem to be available on Onlinetvrecorder.

Vhanja · October 23, 2016 6:12 pm

Wonderful! Yeah, I hope that it's good as well. No more cliches, please.

There's always a chance that SNL will be a trainwreck, regardless of who's hosting. But there's also always a chance for pure brilliance. I'm willing to take a chance for Ben.

Susi, I don't know about streaming, but the skits will all be on youtube by the next day.

Yitzock · October 23, 2016 11:44 pm

Yes, they upload the skits to their YouTube channel. There is probably some website that someone uploads the episodes to, though they could potentially be dodgy.

I, too, hope that the material will be given, but Benedict is already funny, so I am sure his delivery will help.

SusiGo · October 24, 2016 6:27 am

Thank you, I will check it out. We are getting quite spoiled now with Benedict news.

Yitzock · October 24, 2016 1:41 pm

Yes, we are. He's been having a busy time lately.

I can't stop watching that!

They made a SFW version of it too, but this is the best!

ukaunz · November 3, 2016 10:43 pm

I don't know how I'm going to get to watch it. SNL stuff on YouTube is never available to me, being in Australia (they block it to us for some reason). I've never seen the episode that Martin hosted If anyone can let me know of a way to see this episode, please let me know!

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 6, 2016 11:47 am

Does anyone know how long it will take them to put it up on their website? (NBC)

SusiGo · November 6, 2016 11:52 am

This should be the whole of it:

I have not seen all of it, not by far. And, sadly, I am not very impressed. I did not expect it to be that silly and over the top. But I really like "Office Hours". Benedict at his best, turning a sketch into a little heartbreaking story. Just lovely.

Thank you so much for the link!

I think there's stuff missing though? if it's just 'normal' ads or if it's sketches I don't know... but I read somewhere that NBC doesn't put parts with licensed music online, so maybe that's it?

I'm in the middle of watching it now, and "Office Hours" did tear at my heartstrings! But the stuff before that... ugh. I've cringed pretty bad. Luckily Benedict doesn't take himself too seriously... but yeah. I think I expected more in a way, and I know Benedict could have if he was allowed!
