Love Louie, but SNL stinks on ice

Louie's monologue was great, the rest of the show stank.

I enjoyed the Abraham Lincoln 'Louie' parody in addition to his monologue but the rest was blah

I thought he'd make an appearance on Weekend Update, but instead I sat through that awful "Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With" bit. Fucking atrocious.

That was actually one of my favourite bits from the show because I know a girl who is EXACTLY like that and it was an accurate parody to me.

Cool story bro.

You had to? Who was making you?

My hope that Louis would come on afterwards and salvage the segment. I muted most of it anyway, but those closed captions told me everything I needed to know.

Agreed, that and when he licked that girl's face was pretty funny

It wasn't a traditional SNL monologue though. It was just 3 minutes of his standup act. (Which was the best 3 minutes of the show).

Not the first time a monologue was just a stand-up act. Dane Cook did the same thing when he hosted...and I'm sure Carlin did the same thing back in the 70s when he hosted a few times.

I agree, though: best part of the show, everything else was downhill.

It wasn't a very good episode, which is par for the course. The Lincoln bit was pretty good. I wonder how the b-b-b-b-boys will spin the show.
