The “Cold Open.” If it doesnt include Baldwin, I agree—they are pretty good. I don’t care for Kate McKinnon doing Jess Sessions either.
BUT, I think she is the talent of the operation. She did a skit about Alien abductions last year that was pee your pants funny.
Don’t let me mislead you, I thought the cold open was an excellent avenue to present some great comedy. I don’t think they put out great comedy any longer. I have only watched short segments over the last 20 years or so. They are horrible.
In the old days the show would start sometimes before you even realized it, because the skits were so good.
The clips I’ve seen these days are just plain goofy. They aren’t funny, and I seriously wonder what type of people would think they were.
