I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Let Lacey host all Roundtables. Give her a budget to help educate and train other moderators in her methods. As far as that’s possible. Some things can’t be taught.

@eme.261 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, what Lacey possesses as a moderator can't be taught. She's clearly invested in learning about those she converses with and so easily flows from prompting queries to follow-up questions. She enjoys the process and is willing to step back and let the responder(s) express themselves and engage with the others participating in the discussion. She's naturally brilliant at this, because, as she stated, "[She] is genuinely curious."

@mariuspatru7 2 жыл бұрын

yeah, the only thing I'd change is the forced "AHA" that she keeps repeating, other than that, great.

@eme.261 2 жыл бұрын

@@mariuspatru7 - I'm not remotely bothered by this, as I don't perceive those utterances as forced. I utilize the same or similar responses when I'm fully invested in an engaging and relaxed (key feature) discussion with people I like. Whenever the conversation around the table flowed easily between participants, Lacey tended to respond in this manner. She was signaling that she's with them, but she's not inserting herself in a manner that would interrupt them. She also utilized those types of responses to prompt a participant who was in the middle of a long response to continue going. She helped them to open up more fully. This is a big part of Lacey's success as a moderator. She's not rigid and repressed in her expressions, while also being unusually dexterous in the art of conversational flow. The other moderators are too formal and polished-- their demeanor skates close to being off-putting and leads to very stilted (and, far too often, boring) roundtable discussions.

It's crazy just how influential SNL is on American comedy. We've got 2 current cast members, 1 former cast member promoting his show based off of a SNL character, and Jerrod who hosted SNL earlier this year and will probably be nominated for an emmy for it.

@stephenfeld772 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, as the intro rolled I was a little taken aback and wondered if this video should have been titled a little differently when I realised how SNL-heavy it was. SNL will always get more than its fair share of detractors but it remains a great and relevant (if not the most popular) platform for current mainstream comedy.

@TabethaAurochs 2 жыл бұрын

Jerrod absolutely crushed it as an SNL host. His monologue alone was so above and beyond, I immediately thought "this has gotta be The One that SNL gets an Emmy nom for this season." I found it hilarious when Che mentioned how apparently he & Jerrod were "supposed to hate each other" because they're both black comedians who "talk slow" 🤣

Old ppl always let the young ones do the most talking in a room like this … they wait to hear something that they deem really important to speak up on, otherwise they sit and listen to the younger generation… I believe it’s a way to connect cuz they probably don’t usually have ppl this young around them on a daily basis, especially someone going that does the same job… it’s pretty much shoots, and press tours… at home they hanging out with kids who have never been actors and ppl around their age I feel with no relation to acting

Che is the lead writer at snl and that damn Michael Che on hbo was kind of a prolific hit and Danny McBride is an hbo comedy heavyweight then forte has so many cult classic bits plus LMOTE so I'm not sure I understand your comment.
