  • I may be out of the demo, but I know a lot of folks on the west coast were watching Coachella on YouTube. Or as it became known “couchella.”

  • Well, they can’t have One Direction on EVERY week so this isn’t all that shocking.

  • Brolin was exciting as watching paint dry.

  • I was amazed to see how unfunny SNL has become. I only tuned in to see Gotiya, but what I saw before that gave me goosebumps because I was so embarrassed for the poor cast. It’s not their fault that they aren’t funny and writing is garbage. I’m sure no one is telling them, so how would they know.

    • It’s Gotye. You might want to learn how to spell the names of the acts that you’re allegedly tuning in to watch.

      • And you might want to calm the fuck down. I didn’t tune in, as soon as I heard it was Josh Brolin – simply because that name brings no excitement to me whatsoever.

    • Funny.

      Sad state of affairs when a few (presumably) kids can make something funnier than a staple like SNL.

  • How about finally ending this show at Season #40 and calling it a career.

  • The first 45 minutes was some of the funniest skits of the season and the cast was phenomenal last night.

  • Sorry folks but Josh Brolin is special and great. His Tommy Lee Jones in the “MIB : 3″ trailer is terrific.
