Saturday Night Live Season 50

Season 50? :yikes:
I feel old. |
I've watched the show the past several years mostly for Che and Jost on Weekend Update. IMHO, they are the best WU anchors in the show's history.
Due to having just endured a 20 hour power blackout in my area, I kept falling asleep during the show, so thanks to Mindy for the Youtube snippets, particularly those of WU. In America's ageist culture, I was pleasantly surprised to see Jean Smart, who is in her early 70s, host the season opener. She did a great job playing the role of an embittered Lucy in the I Love Lucy parody. As for the musical guest, I only caught the first song. He wasn't as bad as most of the musical guests have been the last several years. Hope the parts I missed were funny. |

I'm old enough that I started watching SNL back when the show was in the first season. You are correct that I'm in the 55-65 age range. (62 to be exact.) |

I thought last night's episode was uneven. But Weekend Update was good, as usual:

Not trying to steal your thunder, Mindy, but I wanted to commend Hozier, last night's musical guest on SNL, for performing a cover of Fairytale Of New York. It was a nice way of honoring Shane MacGowan, who died recently, and Kirsty MacColl, who passed away much too young in 2000. Hozier's version was decent, and it was fun to see how he altered the name calling between between Shane and Kirsty from the original. Here it is:
