Highlights Of The 42nd SNL Premiere
News Clip

"Saturday Night Live" has finally come out of its hiatus for its 42nd season, after much anticipation. The premiere's host was Margot Robbie, best known for the popular “Suicide Squad” that was in theaters over the summer. There have been swirling speculations about how SNL will tackle all the political drama that’s been happening in the United States. Some people even felt abandon during the hiatus when SNL couldn’t comment during the Democratic and Republican conventions. SNL is back now, though, and will assuredly help us through the end of the election season with some laughs. Here are some highlight from the SNL premiere.

1. Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump

He was super scary with his orange makeup, and facial expressions. The way he interrupted was just like watching the real debate all over again.

2. Kate McKinnon, just Kate McKinnon

After her performance in "Ghostbusters", and having earned an Emmy for SNL, a number of fans, were happily tuning in for the newest Kate material. There’s only so many reruns of her past skits that we can watch.

3. Celebrity Family Feud: Political Edition

What a great way to poke fun of several people at once. One side was the people surrounding Trump, the other Hillary. We got to see Larry David as Bernie Sanders again, and Margot Robbie as Ivanka was spot on.

4. Actress Round Table

Kate McKinnon got to star in this skit, which had a similar formula to "Close Encounter." Kate played Debette Goldry, an elderly actress who had a much different experience than the other Hollywood women at the Actress Round Table. This was one of the best skits of the night.

5. Jokes from Weekend Update

Comparing the latest phones to political candidates? Why didn’t we see this connection before! Also some thoughts on Kaepernick were super witty, and I’m hoping will get some people to better form their opinion and get to thinking of the issue in a different way.

6. The Hunch Bunch

Here we see a spoof on Scooby Doo where Margot Robbie plays a hilarious bonus character.

7. Mr. Robot

This was a great shout out to the entire horrible situation of Leslie Jones' getting hacked. SNL skit aside, can we talk about how great she is in standing her ground and not letting this affect her love of social media?

8. Tribute to Gene Wilder

Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton began the show with a nice hat tip to Gene Wilder and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” by entering the room with a cane, but then somersaulting into great health.

9. The debate, the debate, the debate


Obliviously this was a great highlight of the night, and was widely anticipated beforehand. As we watched the actual debate, we were all thinking “this is just like an SNL skit,” but then SNL really delivered in their interpretation of the exaggerated events. I can't recommend it enough.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
