2. I agree with you, he looks way too "normal"

And I know that everyone is excited about Steve Martin - who was a treat to see - but the one that impressed me the most was Wilbur Ross! I swear, Kate McKinnon can impersonate anyone!

I love her!

And, ya know... I would like to have seen James McAvoy play Tucker. That might have been fun!

4. She really is just amazing, I agree - a rare talent!

Any age, gender, she nails them all! And I agree that James McAvoy is great with voices - Tucker wasn't all that recognizable, but the rest of them sure were - especially Wilbur Ross!

I noticed she was fighting back a smile a couple times. The skit was funny.

And I really liked Steve Martin's bit.

As good as Jeff Sessions, LOL! And I thought Steve Martin was delightful! And it really did take me a minute!

10. Been a fan but when I saw her on Seinfeld's show Comedians Cars Coffee

I was...uh ...let's say enamored.

Very very sexy attractive you name it. I mean that not just her looks but she is just Wow. Turns out I don't think I'm her kind.

Jerry pretty clearly had the same feelings - at least that was my take.

6. They missed a golden opportunity with Martin's Stone makeup...

All they had to do is dust off the Beldar cone, put a creepy little tuft of white hair on top, and viola!

I didn't know you could impersonate Tucker. Moffat has really does his homework.

I'm like if those shorts with the little whales came to life --- THAT's funny

14. Cecily Strong is brilliant as Judge Jeannine Pirro!

She is one of the most underrated players on SNL. I think she's great at almost everything she does, but she nailed this one!

15. How anyone can stand to listen to her voice is a mystery to me!

She does not have a voice for television - or public speaking in general! That's what Cecily Strong totally gets! And of course there was her short and painful campaign against my then-senator, Hillary Clinton! Her attempt at just making a speech was so abysmal that she just dropped out!

I don't know how anyone can stand to listen to her. She sounds like a complete mental patient at the best of times.
