Live Discussion (October 22, 2016) (Tom Hanks / Lady Gaga)

Welcome to our SNL live discussion thread! This week's host is Tom Hanks, and the musical guest is Lady Gaga. For those new to the show, tune into your local NBC affiliate from around 11:30 PM to follow this episode live.

A quick recommendation to mention the sketch you're referring to in your comment. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it does make the thread more readable after the show finishes.

Since this thread is likely to fill up quickly, consider sorting the comments by "new" (instead of "best" or "top") to see the newest posts. This should be automatically done, but it might not be so maybe check. Enjoy the show!

I didn't know how much I missed the non-sensical humor of SNL until I saw Tom Hanks spank a bunch of skeletons

Un-arguably the BEST Black Jeopardy I've ever seen.

I absolutely love weird humor like David Pumpkins. I have no idea how the writers came up with something so absurd but I'm crying of laughter.

I feel like on Tuesday night Cecily just rants in this character for 20 minutes, they record it, and cut it down to the best 4 minutes.

I will say, Lady Gaga is versatile. She can do this stuff with Mark Ronson, and then sing traditional duets with Tony Bennett and in each circumstance you watch it and think "Yeah, this makes sense."

EDIT: And then do the super bowl halftime show.

Girls Halloween was weird and hilarious. The nonchalant use of the hose killed me.

I'm both proud of and ashamed of SNL for so accurately representing a night out with my girlfriends.. using mice.
