They tell the hosts to read the cue cards and not memorize their lines. It's just that some people do a better job of making it look like that their not reading the cards. But, that wasn't the case with Al.

I saw SNL Saturday and I'm in Kansas! :D

Al is a great speaker, but I too thought you could tell he was trying to read cue cards. :o Other than that, I thought he was ok.

It's not necessarily a matter of being "concerned" about equal time provisions, in some states they had no choice but to not air Al Sharpton's SNL on Saturday night.

Just like in California, they couldn't air Diff'rent Strokes reruns or Terminator because it gave those two canidates more tv time than the other candidates.

Though, technically, a NBC affiliate can choose to air the network program or not or to rerun a program or not. It's not a given that whatever the network has that the affiliate will automatically run it.

Just wanted to bump this thread because I thought a lot of the season finale is funny as hell.

Does anyone still watch this? It makes me laughs out loud every week!

Yes, I watched it tonight. Is Tina really leaving? They made it look like she is.

I just read last night in Entertainment Weekly that she and Tracy Morgan will be in a new show. So most likely, yes.

you arent the only one
 

i guess i am a sucker for nostalgia cuz i watch this show weekly. by far the best skit this year was the natalie portman video.

Bumping to reenact my favorite sketches, in light of the writers' strike.
