(66 posts)Seriously! I don't know, maybe the Zoom crowd had something to do with it. But there were also more genuinely funny jokes than average!

(205,995 posts)And I agree that this was a really good one, it focused on the two of them with no "guests" to interrupt - except for Alec Baldwin's phone call and he was terrific as usual. Welcome to DU!

(66 posts)But WU is always funny! The only thing in this edition I didn't like was the Kylie Jenner story. She's "self-made"??? Give. Me. A. Break.
PS: Thanks for the greeting!

(205,995 posts)And I agree that the Jenner story was dumb, but it was their initial home-based outing. I could have done without the distracting laugh track, but Colin and Michael have really become a great team, as good as any they've had on SNL. I also appreciated the lack of silly "guests," they really don't need them.
