it would have been so funny if they showed a picture of black Michael Jackson and he said passed and then immediately showed white Michael Jackson after and he guessed it right
Yeah, except the liberal trump card is, these totally insane things that are obviously happening are definitely not happening and even if they were, you're racist. As a former liberal, I feel confident saying, the position is fundamentally resistant to seeing "the bad things."

For many years now SNL has had NO idea how to end a sketch that doesnt have a "natural" end point. Oddly enough a game show should have a natural end point so i guess they finally suck that much
I can't speak for what happened exactly, but I do know that sometimes, they end a sketch on TV for time purposes even though it goes longer in person. Perhaps this is one of those times? Or maybe they just really didn't know how to end it.
They needed to make this sketch clearer... Either Shane messed up or poor writing; The character knew all the answers but was afraid that if he did get one wrong, on television, he'd be labeled/canceled and ruined socially... (not that he didn't know who they were because he is white)
@@vandal280 I guess because I said "what?" in my first comment, it makes sense that you thought I was confused. I was just exclaiming about how strange and funny it was.
To anyone who hasn’t seen any of the actual episodes of “The Floor” since it’s a new game show: this sketch is actually a hilarious art imitates real life type of sketch because the actual episodes so far have really had several moments like this (just to a lesser extent)
@@dclikemtndew Show a picture of samuel l jackson, have Shane say "OH, that's Morpheus, right?" and the host, frustrated, say "let's just go to a break". Something as simple as that
The joke was that he was right. The photo was Jean-Michel Basquiat, but he conceeded to her (a Black woman) that it was The Weekend, because of his White Guilt, that he couldn't name any of the historical persons in his previous round. it ended where it was intended to end.
I did all the sound FX for this while having a migraine last week. It's nice to watch it back and see that it went so well. I was struggling at the time. All the buzzers and such...that's me. Ask me about it! Posting on a lark, just to see how TH-cam works
Intentionally making noise while having a migraine requires a wild level of fortitude!! I’d’ve been dragging myself across the stage, wrapped in a strangely crusty towel I found in a utility closet, whimpering and clawing at the lights. Do you have a keyboard with all the sounds on them?

Not your fault. At all. If you've seen the show, you quickly realize that the "categories" can be incredibly vague. One person had "Simpsons Actors" which consisted of pictures of actors who voiced characters on the show--NOT pictures of the characters themselves. This included guest spots, and people who played themselves. So random.
@@StevenMcPeterbilt I know that--I saw the episode. My point is that the contestant who claimed to be a Simpsons expert didn't need to know a thing about the show--only the faces of some of the hundreds of actors that have voiced characters on the show. The "Simpsons" part could have been left out of the category and nothing would need to change.
Vocally, maybe. Appearance-wise, Rob Lowe is supposed to look like the illegitimate son of Charles Rocket (Lowe has the square jawline and piercing blue eyes that Charles Rocket had). Michael Longfellow looks more like Cecily Strong's long-lost brother, with Norm Macdonald's dry humor and Bill Hader's penchant for playing sadistic game show hosts (and strangely, can play Bill Hader when he's not playing weird characters or doing spot-on celebrity impressions).
It just shows you what a good guy Shane is. even though he got fired from this place he still puts shine on the SNL crew by letting them do a show with him.

You can see the disappointment on his face to their unoriginal replies. They just pass what he said as awkward and try to move on instead of running with it to add.
That’s why it’s the first time I didn’t find his lines funny. Being a professional doesn’t mean sitting on the show. Look at Shane’s character in the eye and take the high road. He didn’t connect with his lines at all, rushed to get them out and off the stage.
pretty sure it ended like that because Shane fucked it up, i think he took her line by mistake. He seems very unprepared, just look at his monologue, he recycled material from his Netflix special.

I mean, I don't know a lot about the comedy biz, but i do know you're not supposed to re-use jokes from your specials because at that point they're considered burned.

I can't speak for what happened exactly, but I do know that sometimes, they end a sketch on TV for time purposes even though it goes longer in person. Perhaps this is one of those times? Or maybe they just really didn't know how to end it.
Maybe one day they will be able to ask AI how to end a sketch based on a scenario.
what did you think whenever you saw the orange juice?
I though uhhh... thats.. orange juice
dude I love this guy
This one was solid and then completely and utterly fizzled
On, Tuesday, "I've got a great premise, but having trouble coming up with the punch-line."

Snl is dud after dud, this started out bad and finished embarrassingly bad
It seems like this was meant to be the inverse of the Tom Hanks MAGA Jeopardy skit, but they whiffed on the punchline.
They are just hiring randoms now. The last 10 years it has gone from bad to junior high school level writing.

Definitely was abrupt when I watched live and still is watching it again.
