SNL (Will watch on DVR so I can fast forward through the Kardashian skits)
Surprisingly KK wasn’t bad.
Her opening had good jokes written about her.
Why people always hating on the Kardashians all the time, at least give em a chance. SMH.
They don’t deserve a chance.
Whose line sounds like reruns already
I just hope it’s funny – has only been funny sporadically lately ….Love Halsey tho’ – will also fast forward thru KK skits. So many talented people out there that were overlooked…maddening.
I’ll be skipping SNL tonight. Can’t stomach Kim.
I’ll record it, see what people say about the sketches and then go to the best sketches tomorrow.
Ditto. Plus, catch up on Weekend Update tomorrow. No way I’m watching Kimmy. 🤮
Kim Kardashian? Sounds more like a “What Not To Watch Today” to me.
Midsomer Murders – 2 different episodes.
I would not watch SNL with Kim K. if it was the only show on TV – she is a has-been!
Will watch only to see if Kim is as much of a trainwreck as was Elon Musk–considering turning off the sound in the monologue and her scenes.
Is it just me, or in the promo photo does Halsey look like a dead ringer for a young Mia Farrow?
lol Halsey looks like she wishes she could’ve been booked any other week.
How about a never-was? I will never get how she has managed such media longevity and I will not be watching SNL.

Hard skip on SNL, I can’t stand the Kardashians. I’ll watch Halsey’s performance on YouTube.
