1995 called, it wants its joke back.

Do they do a Magnum PI spoof or just the stranger things one?

If he spends less than 10 minutes REEEEEE'ing about Trump I'll be surprised.

That Murphy appearance should set viewership records, you know they'll promote the hell out of it. What's better is, I'm thinking it's promotion for his new Netflix comedy special.

Would be awesome if he does a weekend update and makes fun of David Spade carear.. you know a falling star.

How they hell did this get half the stars of the post it responded to? This was one of the better comebacks I've ever seen.

I guess this board is too woke to blue star something poking fun at one of its sacred alters.

Well, since we are throwing it back to 1984, this is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Was really good, clips are out on NBC.com if you missed it, but he appeared to genuinely have fun doing it. Gumby, Mr Robinson, Velvet Jones all made appearances.

Very underwhelming. I completely believe his comment about needing to support 10 kids was the reason for getting back into acting during the monologue.

And Lizzo the hutt was terrible.

The Mr Robinson skit was OUTSTANDING! One of my favorite SNL bits ever.

I'll admit I just fast forwarded thru Lizzo but what show were you watching other than that?

Seemed like the rest of the cast stepped up their game this week.

Typically sketches haven't been that polished lately.

Monologue was probably the best part of the show IMO.

No joke. Script was straight out of the old days. Pretty lazy, but that's been SNL for a while now.

SNL was ****ing hilarious last night from start to finish. If you didn't think it was funny I have no idea what to say to you.

I was in college in the 70's and watched it from '75 to the mid eighties. Saturday night with Murphy was great! I believe the Weekend Update with Gumby was largely a Murphy ad lib. Now if only they could get Ackroyd and Curtain to reprise "Jane, you ignorant ****" and Chase etc. to come back as hosts ....

I enjoyed it a lot. It was clear Eddie was having a blast. Now that they've gotten all his old characters out of the way, I'd like to see him host again and do new stuff. I liked the throw back bits, but my favorites to were the two new skits. I don't know why, but I found that demon cake hilarious last night.

Gumby was definitely improv. I'm curious if there younger generation got it, since they probably haven't seen the original sketches.
