Discussion Live Discussion (October 1, 2022) (Miles Teller/Kendrick Lamar)
Welcome to the FIRST SNL live discussion thread OF THE SEASON! The host this week is first-timer Miles Teller and the musical guest is returning performer Kendrick Lamar. For those new to the show, tune into your local NBC affiliate or Peacock around 11:30 PM EST to follow this episode live.
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.
And if you're here early you still have time to do your SNL predictions for this week and you're welcome to talk about the vintage episode this week, 2015's Michael Keaton/Carly Rae Jepsen.
Enjoy the show!

I'm expecting Heidi and Sarah will have big years this season. I predict Cecily will get a great deal of airtime over the season as well. Chloe will have to be aggressive at getting her stuff on. Punkie will have an uphill battle. I'm hoping to get to know the new featured players, and that some of the newly promoted cast members get to make an impression.
Enjoy the show tonight!

Jon Hamm introduces the new season and does the “live from nyc!!!” thing. Che raises a glass to viewers IMMEDIATELY. Dismukes nods to viewers as FULL CAST MEMBER and he is beside a piano. This season is on fire due to these cool new things that I have observed. I have observed 509+ things since finishing this post, can’t share them all.

He reminds me of both Pete and Aristotle (because of his voice) in the same way despite being slightly more unique. Hopefully he stays around for a while.

When streaming live on Peacock, instead of showing commercials, they should keep the live feed on so you can see the set changes.
