For those saying it's for ratings - it's a long standing informal rule on SNL that dropping the F bomb means you are fired or never coming back.

SNL has never taken on FCC fines as a means to generate ratings, which for the record, have been the highest in decades.
I know, but Kanye keeps getting away with it because he's Kanye.

Lil Pump might take the hit though

Can they just pay Adam Driver to be a regular cast member? I'm shocked at how good his comedic acting is. He nailed it tonight.

Because that was the only thing of note in that performance.

You know what I love about Kanye.

Right wingers are always desperate for celebrities and talent and instead have to parade around scott baio and fucking ted nugent and its just a debacle.

They finally get Kanye and are like "fuck yes, slam dunk" and then they get shit tier Kanye. If he wasn't such an actual dumbass I'd almost believe he is fucking with them.

Did they just do a hard cut to commercial before the song/credits ended? Kanye was inviting the cast on stage and then bam it's a car commercial.

Um, that opening was incredible, and based on something from 2 days ago.
Let me clarify: everything aside from the opening does. It's like they spent all their time working out the intro and then gave up the rest of the sketches. The oil baron sketch was the funniest thing all night, and everything else was varying degrees of meh or just outright bad.

That's not even to mention the Kanye stuff.

I gotta disagree. That was a solid 7 or 8 for me.

The show normally only has 2 music segments. Kanye must have demanded three, but they only gave him three with the condition that all the songs be short (and that the third song should come at the end of the show). The first two songs he did felt like they were barely 3 minutes......and obviously they chopped the shit out of the last song.

A couple years ago I remember a new female cast member disappearing after her first season presumably cuz she let one f-Bomb slip.

The show has to end on time. That's the deal with a live show, if something goes long, something else is gonna get be nixed or cut short. The show goes off the air abruptly during the credits like 90% of the time.

I did find it funny that it ended right in the middle of the dumbest line in the song.

turned it off when everyone was on stage because I thought it was over, but now I'm learning a missed a third performance. is it true that Kyle Mooney took Kanye's MAGA hat off during the third song?

Usually they at least get to the end of the closing credits, don't they? Honestly I guess I don't watch the live SNL broadcasts enough to say.

I'm not sure why they're at such an obligation to cut the feed at 1AM sharp. Affiliates are only going to be airing infomercials and trash at this hour, and other live events (awards shows, sporting events) are generally allowed to run past their time slot.
