I'll defend her, faintly, by saying the writing in every single thing she did was atrocious. Did you listen to the parody lyrics about why she wasn't Precious? Awful. And this sketch ain't much better. Ok, the selling Wikipedia's line was kind of awesome, but she actually sold it unlike the other crap jokes. So, I'll blame the writing for giving a vibrant young performer like Gabourey absolutely nothing to work with.

But if she effs up her role in that Laura Linney cancer show, I'll accept her descent into obscurity just like Keisha Castle-Hughes.

I have DVR'ed and watched most of the current episodes of SNL, so I can actually say that indeed, this was on of the worst episodes I remember seeing in a long time. Some of the skits were so painful I had to fast forward. Maybe the January Jones episode was worse. Maybe.

Don't encourage him.

I don't really care about the flubbing or laughing. She's new to this. She's never really done live, much less live in front of a huge audience. I feel she acquitted herself fairly well in those circumstances.

That said, REALLY, Dustin? You're gonna judge her entire acting career on SNL? Really? As sterling as, you say, the writing has been this season?

I liked the brownstone sketch, and I thought the cherry sketch got points for being entrancing.

Of course Mulaney had the best sketch. He's clearly not taxing himself writing for the other sketches. He saves it all up for himself, like Tina Fey.

Sigh.

Several boxes of cookies, or several girl scouts?

Christ, there's always gotta be someone that takes the bait.

Oh, come on! I loved that window sketch! Sure she screwed up once, but she was nervous. She was still light-years better than January Jones. Plus, no mention of the alarm clocks sketch? That was my favorite one all night (that and the Hamilton sketch)! That digital short was bizarrely hypnotic. All in all, it wasn't perfect, and compared to some of the other episodes this season it was subpar, but I felt like Sidibe showed some range and humor. I just don't think it's fair to bash her so heavily for being nervous on a live broadcast. She's barely acted before, and I thought she held her own in several sketches.

Seriously? I thought it was the most bearable SNL I've seen in years. At least it was the first one I was able to sit through the entire thing.

Of course there were still some terrible effing sketches, and Weekend Update is completely unbearable to watch, but....there were a couple of funny sketches. And yeah Sidibe was nervous as hell but I think she got better as the show went on, and she has this really infectious laugh that wasn't nearly as irritating as the bad acting on some of the other hosts.

So I think it's completely unfair to say she can't have a career because she laughed a couple of on fucking SNL. There have been people who have been not only terrible but EMBARRASSINGLY horrible and their careers haven't disappeared.

Jeebus I wish people would stop predicting doom and destruction for this girl after she's done ONE movie. Do we get to do this for every new actress out there or just the fat girl?

Live tv just may not be her thing. I know she has decent coming timing; she always cracked me up on her red carpet interviews during award season.

the detectives was supposed to have strikethrough.

Sigh.

I should apologize for being such an SNL apologist. It's just that even when it's bad I still usually find it funny. I have a very absurd sense of humor and there is absurdism all over that show.

However, I do take issue with the following:

Weekend Update is completely unbearable to watch

Figgy, really? Because of all the bits on that show, that is the one that thing that I think is dead-on funny literally every week.

Whatever. Team Gabby FTW. The writing was just one step above high-school sketch comedy like it has been all season, with a few exceptions. Furthermore, the woman has only done one movie. ONE. MOVIE. Not live TV. Not theater. MOVIE. ONE. Singular. Great comedic timing and a great personality on the red carpet are awesome, but they don't necessarily translate into a gut-bustingly flawless performance on a live sketch comedy show with comedic professionals, a live audience in the studio, and millions more watching on TV. I believe I would have been a little nervous and tongue-tied too.

And the Cherry Battle made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to piss my pants. So there.

*sticks out tongue and blows raspberry*
*because I am mature*

ChristianH: I seriously cannot stand Seth Meyers. He has this permanent smirk on his face and reads his lines terribly. I don't know what it is about him but I think he's just terrible--easily the worst Update host ever. And not one of the jokes was funny, and their 'guests' are always irritating.

SNL has been an slow awkward ongoing funeral for years now. At some point they'll have to end it right?

Plus, the new girls are both absolutely hilarious this year, and I hope they keep both of them.

Bill Hader is so freakin' talented. Great impressionist, and brilliant when he just gets to play over-the-top characters like Greg the Sports Talk alien.

She really does seem like a nice person, but she's trying way too hard right now. She really does need to address the weight issue though, Mabel King was a nice & well-liked "large" actress too and her weight ended up killing her. She's still young enough to really do something about it. Hope for her sake that she does.

Useful thread. Appreciate it a whole lot. For sure, sometimes it is perceived as we are typing to the cyber-breezes…. then, somebody is likely to leave a opinion that really connects someone to the outside and you simply know you are in a community.

The two forms of viewing Internet television are streaming the content directly to a media player or simply downloading the program to the user's computer. With the "TV on Demand" market growing, these on-demand websites or applications are a must have for major television broadcasters. For example, the BBC iPlayer brings in users which stream more than one million videos per week, with one of the BBC's headline shows The Apprentice taking over three percent to five percent of the UK's internet traffic due to people watching the first episode on the BBC iPlayer.

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

There are certainly a couple more details to take into consideration, but thank you for sharing this information.
