Trying to be a fan of Saturday Night Live is an exercise in futility. So much of the time it's just awful... but then they'll drop a gem so brilliant that it makes you believe again.
Tonight's episode was packed full of gems, and they didn't waste any time... the cold open take on the Democratic debate was genius...
I've never been a Larry David fan... but holy cats can he do a flawless Bernie Sanders impersonation!
The big attraction for tonight's episode, however, was the triumphant return of Tracy Morgan to the show as host after surviving a horrific car accident 16 months ago. To say he killed his monologue is an understatement...
Yes. Reuniting the 30 Rock cast for a guest shot is too good to be true.
The show itself was pretty good... featuring a return of Tracy's Brian Fellow and also the return of Tina Fey to the Weekend Update desk. But my favorite sketch had to be Family Feud, which is what you hope for when tuning in to SNL...
Next up? Donald Trump. That should prove interesting. Or disastrous. Or both.
Much like a Trump presidency, I'd imagine.

Why I’ve been watching for 25 years. The gems are worth the awful parts.
And you are right about the gems from last week’s episode.

All gems for a great SNL. Tracy Morgan was so good. So happy to see his recovery efforts have worked.
Larry David as Bernie Sanders was side-splitting. So great.
Tina Fey’s Playboy poses were pretty damn funny.
