I always felt the same until Jimmy Fallon did it one too many times (and continued to) with the exception of the Will Farrell “More Cowbell!” sketch. Which I suppose reveals I only watched the show as a teenager. I bailed 100% on SNL until just watching clips from the Trump era on.

@TranzparentMethods 3 года назад

Couldn't agree more. The more they break the funnier it is to me. Mainly, because YOU KNOW Lorne Michaels wasn't happy with the break of character. That's kind of what the performers are paid for. Jimmy Fallon is the biggest culprit of it and it makes every sketch he's in that much more entertaining,

They knew him much better and said he’d entertain at assemblies before things got started. As a freshman, he was the guy who could make everyone laugh, a very quick wit. When he died, it hit them pretty hard. None of them had been surprised when he made it to SNL. I can’t remember if he did the talent show his freshman year or not. I’d have to check my yearbook.
