Without peer. I still watch Newsradio, with Phil Hartman, Stephen Root, Maura Tierney, Dave Foley, Joe Rogan, Khandi Alexander…what a knockout cast of talent, one of the best sitcoms ever produced (as low as that bar might be).

SNL would be so much better today if the actors could 1) keep a straight face and 2) not be obviously reading from queue cards. All of that is happening here flawlessly

@@kraftyDevilX Adam Sandler was the first person I noticed who would frequently laugh during sketches. But at least he attempted to hide it. But Jimmy Fallon ruined SNL, and the ripple effects have lasted for decades. He essentially made it "okay" to laugh during sketches, and he wouldn't even try to cover it. And cast members have been doing it ever since. It's really unprofessional for a performer to laugh during sketches. The audience is supposed to be ones laughing. I can barely take show seriously anymore because "professional" performers seem like amateurs.

I had a Philippine company commander that was just like this guy. He said all kinds of things but we were scratching our heads saying “ what is this guy talking about.” He would say “ if you get your recruit pencil and your recruit notebook and then you put your recruit notebook back…” in the end we would ask our selves “what the heck is he trying to tells us.” He would also make us do exercises that were so easy it was like a vacation from the real company commander that scared us to death.
