Dave always does a good monologue, but it sucks for the actors who may have bits bumped for time. With the cold open, cast intros and his monologue... that's basically always the first 30 minutes. Add in Weekend Update, the two songs and the commercials and what'd we get...3-4 skits?
Indeed, Dave’s 17-minute monologue broke a record (by a minute) for SNL monologue length set by himself in November 2020. -G
Also, tonight’s episode will be the final new episode prior to the upcoming SNL 50th Anniversary show on Sunday, February 16th. -G
