I watched this last night hoping it would be funny for the first time in years. It was!

I went to bed thinking it would be the same old, same old. I saw this online and a couple of other clips like the one in the barber shop that were funny. Maybe the new writers/cast will put out some good stuff.

I'm not getting my hopes up. From what I understand, the writers were all boycotting this week to protest Dave's presence, and Dave and Michael Che wrote all the skits this week

Well, I'm not sure, it was reported 3 days ago they would, which is why I knew this was on last night to watch it in the first place

But now they are saying this isn't the case

So, who knows what really happened behind the scenes

That second one is the last story I heard, too. I wonder if they worked out some sort of deal or truce, or if Lorne Michaels stepped in to get them back to work.
