ICYMI: SNL Honors The Victims Of The Sandy Hook Shooting

For SNL's cold open last night, the New York City Chirrun's Chorus sang "Silent Night" in memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. I know, isn't it weird how an invisible wind storm blew all up into our eyes at the same time last night? This was the best part of SNL last night and it was even better than Samuel L. Jackson dropping some kind of f bomb and blurting out "bullshit." And that's saying a lot.

Hi horz
This is a drive-by: I get out of ICU today. Feels like I have a hole in my brain (which I do), but the cath is out & I'm walking and talking. Pain pills galore and breakfast is soon. Can't wait to put on deodorant!

JTros. .. Hope it all goes well for you and you have a speedy recovery.

SNL.. New York Children's Choir was just incredible. All the news was and still is numbing... And somehow .. This pushed past the talking heads... They were perfect.

I'd say I'm surprised by this but the truth is I heard it in a song while I was sleeping upside down in my daughter's closet.- Dog

SNL's tribute was perfect. It was beautiful, and got the point across without a lot of self-serving celebrities making it all about them. It's a live show that deals with topical issues, of course they had to respond, and they did it tastefully.

Of course I also loved Paul Mc Cartney & Martin Short.

*chanting as always*

Shut the fuck up kid, you're in my closet now.

JTROS, take care and keep your thoughts positive. Get yourself back here as soon as possible. I've been thinking about you and wondered when you were up for surgery.

Very best wishes JTROS. Sending positive energy out to the universe for your surgery, recovery and negative test results. Stay strong and healthy, and please let us know how you are when you can.

cAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY A COMEDY SHOW IS SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER THE VICTIMS? Sorry CAPS..

I am watching SNL to relieve my stress and FORGET about those kids... SNL is the last place I want to be reminded.. And if so, at the end of the show. I watched that tragedy on CNN for 24 hours... I can't take anymore.

And did anyone see Robbie Parker? The man tore my soul out!

Jtros,

Good to hear from you! Don't worry, you still got your Dlisted sessy badge. Hugs.

Get well soon JTROS, come back to us for some Christmas time snark. You should have a laptop, don't hospitals have wifi? Have your doctor contact us, we wanna see his credentials!

It's awesome that SNL took time to remember them like that. I don't think I can bear to watch it though. Just seeing their pictures on Facebook is heartbreaking, and to hear some of the stories are even worse.

JTROS - get better soon. What happened, if you don't mind me asking?

For everyone who's asking - the sketch is 'What's Up with That' and the premise is basically the host invites all these famous people to his show but never gets down to business because he keeps breaking into song and dance. It's quite silly but it cracks me up for some reason.

It hurts because you let your black heart beat for an asshole who can't even send you a "P.S. I'm about to fuck a hole that doesn't belong to you" text before fucking said hole that doesn't belong to you.

I also enjoyed seeing Sir Paul rock out with the ex-Nirvanas, and Carrie's appearance on What Up With That?

Awesome thoughts coming your way, JTROS!!! Hopefully you will have some HOT nurses to play grabass with! :D

I don't understand the context of this sketch with SLJ, but I love the guy. He's great in everything he does.

I don't have the heart to look at pics of those poor kids. I barely managed to take a quick glance at the list and realized that all of them were born between 2005 and 2006. I feel bad about the adults too.

Get better soon, hor! You will be missed.

That was a classy move on SNL's part. Very nice.

ethang, It turns out Jackson just said "fuh" and Kenan was supposed to interrupt him but missed his cue. That's why it sounds so weird.

JTROS, feel better soon!

I know this isn't OP, but ...

Wanted to say hey real quick...won't be able to enjoy MKs snark or the comments from you horz for awhile. Sitting in my hospital bed, been poked & prodded, with sensors attached to my head. I look like a fucked up mash up of Bride of Frankenstein meets Cyclops. It's so hot. Anywho - catch you all on the flip side! Fingers crossed I make it home in time for Christmas :)

xoxo,
JTROS

Don't get it. Was Samuel actually pissed or was this part of the skit?
