(6,933 posts)Jane, you ignorant slut.
To those who have enjoyed SNL from the beginning, the political edge is an essential component of the admiration.
Sure, we came for the entertainment. But we were never disappointed by the weekly reminder there were other people like us with a healthy disdain for the status quo.
And once again, you did not disappoint.

(81,484 posts)That is - what I saw. We taped it and ran out of steam about halfway through, so I'm gonna see the rest of it tonight.
But I LOVED that! Loved her then, love her now!
That and any-and-all cowbell bits left me/leave me almost convulsed with laughter (and I saw plenty of 'em promoting the show in advance)!

She is truly clueless

Elmer S. E. DUMP!
The Elmer is because I just like the name Elmer.

(65,181 posts)She was the second worst guest on Maher in the last year. The worst was that author/consultant who was on 2 weeks ago. I forget his name, but man was he a horrible person.

(5,644 posts)I didn't watch it. And she actually said that!
Thespian2
(2,741 posts)always had great lines...good to see she continues to speak truth. I wonder sometimes, after watching FUX "news," if any of those talking heads are attached to real human beings.
Watched a video-clip of FUX on YouTube last night...15 minutes...WARNING: never do that immediately before or after eating a meal!

(2 posts)"Jane Curtin doing her Weekend Update take on fake news, blondes, and Fox network:"
I laughed when I saw Jane Curtin, Great Show and 40 years. I've been age identified... :lol:

(17,199 posts)There comes a time when self-deprecation isnt just warranted, its absolutely necessary. That time came for Fox News when Jane Curtin perfectly destroyed them in a zing for the ages Sunday night on the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special:
-snip-
Everyone thought it was funny. Everyone. Well, almost everyone.
Fox News couldnt just NOT cover the reunion, so they did what Fox News does. They omitted the joke facts, deciding instead to comment on everything that went on around it. Tina Fey slammed the younger generation, Emma Stone did a character made famous by Gilda Radner, Edward Norton did Stefan, Melissa McCarthy lived in a van down by the river, they basically covered the entire bit.
Somehow, some way, Jane Curtin, whose name was mentioned but never elaborated on, didnt get the respect she deserved for delivering the knockout-punch of the evening.
The Fox coverage was on their website, the cable network decided not to bother with it at all.
