Definitely one to miss then. 
SNL is still on the air?
Other than Ashlee Simpson’s lip synch, that show hasn’t been funny in well over a decade.
“Other than Ashlee Simpson’s lip synch, that show hasn’t been funny in well over a decade.”
The funniest thing since that incident was when U2 played and Bono was going out into the audience and then taking a camera looking right into it and he kept singing “LIVE” “LIVE” “We are LIVE”.
I predict a plethora of awkward, uncomfortable moments of silence where laughter should be.
Thinking out loud: Maybe they will do a skit on the drug allegations. Working off a setting with him sitting in a darkened room with a band around his arm and a him sticking a faux needle in his arm and then having Sheryl pop in on him while hs is shooting up…or maybe French authorities swarming in on his room only to find out that he is doing something mundane like tying his shoe or something…then having a funny French-English dialogue where they try to arrest him for tying his shoe in an illegal manner or saying that they were sure that they witnessed him shooting up.
OK, I’m obviously not a comedy writer, but it might be good for him to inject some humor into the situation whether he did the EPO or not.
Don’t they know no one gives a shit anymore? Oh yeah it’s Saturday Night Live.
They could just make fun of the French all night long … or Lance could stop in the middle of the show to pee in a cup. … they could do a skit where LA is a bike messenger … Lance could be picked last for the basketball team … a sperm bank skit could be nice … replay the Bob Costas bit where Charles says Lance is NOT an athlete … LiveStrong band bootleggers … there’s lot’s of good material for them to fuck up.
Finally! A new spokesman for “Little Chocolate Doughnuts”!
“There loaded with sugar to give me the energy I need.”
Good times.
You guys know Lance is going to Kill Saturday night. He wouldn’t have taken the gig if he wasn’t sure he could succeed.
I’m sure he has had a team of top scientists locked away in a dungeon the last 6 months developing a special undetectable “funny juice” that he has been shooting up all week.
I just hope for their sake none of them spill the beans. Or else Lance will sic his team of high-priced lawyers he has holed up (in the adjacent dungeon) to threaten them, sue them, and do whatever else it takes to shut them up.
How about a skit where Lance goes to an overweight talk show hosts house to ride bikes?
He did that? With Oprah?
He’s reformed his F1 team with comedy writers. They will lead him through the show until the final minutes where he will take off on his own for the big finish. They spent half a day working on getting his microphone at the optimal height for the opening monologue. His killer bee suit will be made of coolmax.
