- Let's Get It Started! -- jennings, 02:26:26 04/18/06 Tue
I know it's pretty early, but we should probably start this soon. The SUMMER MOCK SEASON is only 2 months away, and we have no hosts booked, yet.
Patrick and myself are still discussing if we are going to do 6 episodes this summer, or 7, since SNL is only giving 19 instead of 20 this season. (Thanks for the idea Prateek!)
Start posting your host "nominations" below. Pick no more than 7. Remember, no celebrities how have hosted SNL or SNY before. No one who has had a cameo/special guest appearence on SNL (SNY is okay, thou). No former SNL cast members, former writers are okay. Larry David almost hosted last summer.
Get to it!

There's one more episode in the regular season fellow writers. SNL has been improving, but let's try to beat them this week. Please, submit, submit, submit and let's take back the night... Saturday Night that is. When we have big writer turnouts our episodes are better. It's Kevin Spacey, can't ask for a more versatile host to end the season with. So contribute as much as possible whether sketches or Weekend Update jokes it doesn't matter. That's all I gotta say, thank you.

- Tips for making the next episode great. -- Jim Bevan, 16:25:21 02/24/06 Fri
Seeing as how we're only a week away from our first new show in a month, and we're riding on the success of a fairly strong Steve Martin episode, I thought I'd set this up as a means of sharing ways that the Natalie Portman episode can be killer.
Here's some of the best advice I have to offer. First, avoid doing sketches regarding the Cheney hunting accident or Brokeback Mountain. They've been milked dry of all their humor, and to beat a dead horse would be embarassing. Secondly, let's not focus the majority of update jokes on celebrity gossip or pop-culture nonsense. That stuff is dragged to death plenty of times on the late night shows and VH1's weekly wrap-ups; they're squeezed dry of comedic value by the time Saturday arrives. Let's fill our Weekend Update with bits making fun of actual news: the Muslims are still rioting over those cartoons, David Irving got three years for Holocaust denial, the port deal is causing an uproar, ect. Really, that stuff can be handled much better than any of the latest nonsense about Jessica Simpson or nonsense like that. And third... well, that's all I can really think of now, sorry.
I hope this helps, and if anyone else has any advice feel free to share. Have a nice day.

- Idea for a sketch -- Jim Bevan, 21:23:03 03/01/06 Wed
This is a sketch concept I've been mulling for a while, but I've never been able to make it work effectively. So I just thought I'd put it here to see if it could potentially inspire one of the other writers.
The sketch is called "Cruel and Unusual Comedy." The premise is that during an interrogation, police are unable to get information from a criminal despite using every method they have. As a last resort, they decide to initiate "Operation: Shecky" to get the guy to talk. What this consists of is having the criminal subjected to stand-up acts from horrible comedians, people who have to pay the club owners to get up there on open mic night.
Basically, the crook is bombarded with material from complete hacks: guys who do stale, cliche jokes (i.e. cops loving donuts, New York's different from L.A., Starbucks are everywhere, ect.), comics with incredibly dated material (Monica Lewinsky, O.J. Simpson), comics who try to cover up bad material by doing bad celebrity impersonations, et cetera.
Anyway, it's probably not the best idea, but as I said, maybe someone here might be up to the challenge.

- Cold Opening- A Message from President Bush -- Brian Dean, 20:43:37 02/27/06 Mon
Here's my idea for this week's cold opening. Like many it is a political one.
Don Pardo...Announcer
Will Forte...George W. Bush
Darrel Hammond...Bill Clinton
(Cut to the Presidential insignia)
Announcer: And now a message from the President of the United States.
Pres. Bush: Good evening my fellow Americans. Tonight my aides, you know the 'rents, told me I should hold a prime time press conference. They keep blah-blah blahing about my low approval ratings and how now even the Republicans are questioning my policies. But things are great.
I mean sure New Orleans is still all messed up and energy prices are high but so what. (Nervous laugh) And yeah now it looks like North Korea and Iran have WMDs but at least we know Iraq don't got 'em (Another nervous laugh) And it looks like every day another Republican is charged with something. (Starts wiping his brow.) Brownie, Delay, hell even Uncle Dick shot a dude in the face. And yeah it looks like Iraq is about to be engulfed in civil war and the troops will never leave.But at least...at least...
(Bush begins to break down crying)
Bush: Oh who am I kidding? I hate being president. It's no fun and hard work. I hate work and not having fun. It's not fair. I thought the second term would be a breeze but it's not.
(To the camera.)
Bush: No one ever wants to talk to me anymore. The other day I called Gov. Mitt Romney, but he talked about was Ports this and UAE that. I didn't even know what he was talking about. I can't even watch TV anymore. All I hear is that Dick likes shooting old men in the face and how I'm letting terroists into the country. It's hard work.
(Bill Clinton enters the room with a cigar in one and and a glass of scotch in the other.)
Clinton: Hey George, whats the good word?
Bush: Bill Clinton, how did you get in here?
Clinton: (Chuckling) Oh hell, the guard at the gate is an old friend of mine from time in the office. (Looking around at the Oval Office) Damn I got me some memories in this room. Both good and bad.
Bush: Speaking of bad, Bill that's all I'm gettin' these days. Nothings going right. (Cries on Clinton's shoulder while Clinton shows a look of both glee and pity at Bush)I don't wanna be President no more. (Looks at Clinton) Do you want it back. Honest Injun, I'll give right back right now.
Clinton: (Chuckling again) Sorry George. But I've done my time in Shawshank and I'm never coming back to the spotlight. I'm just here for a stroll down memory lane. Besides Hillary will be the prez in two years and I'll be back as the First Gentleman like that show with Geena Davis. (Chuckles) She may be hot, but that show sucks. But let me give you one piece of advice from one two-termer to another.
Bush: What's that?
Clinton: Don't pork any of the interns. Hell I presided a term with a kickass economy and relative calm in the world and she got me damn near kicked out of office on my ass.
Bush: (Crying again) Oh God! (Put's his head on the desk)
Clinton: Well he'll be like that for another hour, so that gives the chance to say...LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!

Okay, I know this sounds kind of crazy, but it was circulating in my head for a while as something to do for the break period between the end of the real season and the beginning of the Mock Summer. Here's the deal: it's the current cast of SNL, only it's set during the 1940s, and all the hosts could be stars from that era (Cary Grant, Mae West, Groucho Marx, Jack Benny, ect.) We'd probably have to skp the Weekend Update segments, cause who wants to search through resources to find enough news items from that decade. But anyway, what do you guys thing?

"My name is Earl" parody "My name is Hitler" Same basic concept of the show except its Hitler making up for his past deeds (he survived his supposed death, like an evil elvis if you will) if you use it great, if not I totally understand. Keep up the good work everyone.

Low output, or noble effort? You make the call! If someone wants to at least send a cold open, I'll add it in the morning. For now, I'm off to watch NBC's version and see what they come up with.

- Olympic Synchronized Snoring -- Brian Dean, 21:14:42 12/17/05 Sat
Since SNL will be postponed for the Winter Olympics, I was thinking that would be a good time the bring back Women's Synchronized Snoring. Maybe they could compete against another country made up of guest celebrities. What do you all think?

- Saturday Night You Promo with Jack Black -- Jim Bevan, 15:54:21 12/14/05 Wed
I'm giving another one of these a try. Hope you all enjoy.
... Jack Black
... Neil Young
(open on Jack and Neil at home base)
Jack: Hey, Jack Black here. Be sure to catch me on Saturday Night You this weekend. It's my third time hosting, and musical legend Neil Young is here too!
Neil: Oh, sorry Jack. I meant to tell you earlier, but I can't perform this weekend.
Jack (shocked): What? Why not?
Neil: Gotta get my Christmas shopping done. Have a good show.
(Neil walks off stage, leaving a stunned Jack on stage. He nervously looks at the camera.)
Jack (fumbling): Heh heh. Well, um... (he pulls a deck of cards out of his pocket) you guys like card tricks?
(fade out)

- And now a special message from Prateek S. -- Prateek S., 23:59:38 12/14/05 Wed
Hey everyone. How's it going? You know, I think I can safely say, both SNY have gone up this season. The stronger writing has really brought us up a notch and we've a some talented minds here. Now, I say this today, because today is no ordinary day. It was on December 15, 2003 that I first stumbled upon Saturday Night You.
I remember it like yesterday, it was a Monday and I had missed Saturday's Elijah Wood episode. I thought I'll pop in on the net, hopefully someone will have summarized the show. Sean's SNL.com site had not updated so I began searching google for new sites! I came upon one that said... Elijah Wood episode update! So I clicked it and without looking at homepage I just started reading the cold opening. It was good, but a bit outlandish for the show, and then I noticed that this was not SNL, but instead SNY. A site where fan's can write their OWN sketches. I spent the next 2 hours reading random sketches and becoming inspired. I would later write my first sketch, Jennifer Aniston's monologue.
Now, 2 years later, here I am writing sketches and I am happy as anything. I have to say it has been a real experience writing sketches. Now before anyone points it out, this little speech does sound like I am getting ready to leave, but I'm not so never fear! I just wanted to bring this up to say Hey this is a great site and let's keep up the awesome comedy! We've got one more show for 2005, Jack Black with Neil Young! Let's end 2005 with a bang!

- Chat troubles -- Wintah, 18:47:08 12/11/05 Sun
Just a question, whenevah I click on the link on the main page to the chat room it tells me that it does not exist and asks me if I would like to create it. Anybody know how to bypass this and get to the real room?
[ Forgive me if this is a stupid question for I am a twit when it comes to technology. ]

- How do you get your inspiration? -- Jim Bevan, 10:34:20 12/09/05 Fri
I hope nobody minds my asking this, but I've been curious as to how the other writers for the show get their ideas. What sparks your creative juices and gets you in the mood to write something funny? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm just a little interested in learning what my friends do for inspiration.
I guess I'll start things off. If I'm stuck and unable to think of anything funny, I'll first read some of my favorite comics: The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Foxtrot and Pearls Before Swine work best for me. If after that I'm still dry on ideas, then I'll watch the Simpsons or South Park, two of the funniest shows on television. With luck, by then I'll have caught something absurd that has comedic potential. Still nothing after South Park, then I go to stage three. That consists of renting and viewing an incredibly funny movie: Airplane, Blazing Saddles, Gremlins 2, Caddyshack, or my all-time favorite, A Night at the Opera. After all that's done, I'll have stockpiled on humor and I'm ready to look out at the world and find something absurd or stupid to make fun of, or wait for a freakishly funny thought to enter my head.
Then again, if all three steps fail, I have a glass of orange juice, play Mario Party, go to sleep, and repeat the next day.

Just thought I'd put it here as a precaution in case Patrick didn't get the mail. Hope that's okay. The skit is in the reply.

- LET'S PUT ON A SHOW! -- Kevin, 19:27:04 12/07/05 Wed
WEIRD SUGGESTION:
Has anybody ever thought of trying to actually produce these shows and air them on the web via digital video...
The execution would need to be extremely low-budget -- minimal costumes, props, set. It would almost have to be like a filmed Second City performance...
It's pretty ambitious but it could be cool as hell... Someone would have to assemble a group of talented actors, videographers, a theatre to film in and some cash...
There's probably no way this could happen but I think it would be phenomenal if it could be done.

Alec Baldwin: Hi I’m Alec Baldwin and I’m hosting Saturday Night You this weekend for the Fourth... YES FOURTH TIME! Suck on that Steve and John, I’m the host with most at SNY! You guys are a real Dick and Jane. And I’m not talking about my new movie!

- A question for Jason Dingard -- Jim Bevan, 19:45:03 12/02/05 Fri
I figured it would be best to ask you here, since I wasn't sure how to address an e-mail (I didn't want it to risk getting filtered or deleted due to being mistaken as SPAM). Anyway, I was thinking about doing a holiday themed "Laugh Shack" piece, where Jared and his wife (still need to pick an actress for this piece) selling offensive holiday paraphanelia. I'd really like to work with you on this piece. Let me know if you're interested and how I can contact you. Thanks.

I wasn't going to do this this week, but after I sent stuff Thursday, I still haven't received word from Patrick. I'm going to have to assume that my e-mail is still messed up, and hopefully, this will be the last time I do this. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.

In the words of Mr. Burns, "That sounds like a Larf"
...Dane Cook
COOK: Hey, what's up, I'm Dane Cook and I'm hosting "Saturday Night You" this week with Musical Guest James Blunt. And for the 12 or so people who saw "Waiting", I'm not Ryan Renyolds or his evil twin. Although if you were drunk, you probably couldn't tell the difference anyway. Gotta Go! (RUNS OFF STAGE)
