The show's new season begins on Saturday, September 30th with host Ryan Gosling and musical guest Jay-Z. -G
Colin Jost and Michael Che are back at WU anchor desk. I find them funny, but wish they'd do less banter and more news/jokes.
Last night's Saturday Night Live cold open was PERFECT. Jason Aldean, who was on stage in Las Vegas when the attack started (and wasn't even the musical guest last night), spoke some uplifting, supportive words regarding the attack. THEN, he and his band proceeded to perform a cover of the recently departed Tom Petty (RIP) song "I Won't Back Down"--an incredible song of defiance and persistence. Lorne Michaels couldn't have put together a better cold open for this week's show. I got goosebumps. YouTube link:
That was a weird card to see during the show. I'm looking forward to Donald Glover introducing Childish Gambino's performance.
