Lorne, if you’re lurking, please consider this idea.

I think it'd be cute to have Halle host SNL with Chloe as a musical guest this year

Pretty rough episode. The clever State Farm sketch was one bright spot though, as well as the pointed cold open with Merrick Garland.

Great episode but the last skit was my favorite. A+ I loved seeing everyone break as she was sawing at the steak

They’re called sketches, not skits. Nobody associated with almost 50 years of SNL calls them skits.

Saying skit is a regional preference for me, can’t speak for Vinny. No one where I grew up says sketch (inc. sketch comedians). It’s always skit

Nobody associated with SNL or who covers SNL or who is a fan of SNL calls them skits. They make fun of people who do. They all call them sketches.

Same. I grew up always hearing them called skits (EX: “that skit with the dentist on the carol show is iconic”.) Which is to say my aunts and uncles, and grandparents called/call them skits. I can use the term sketch from now on if you like. Just something I grew up hearing as a kid. Kinda like the fire hydrant is a johnny pump to me. Did not mean to offend anyone. skit is now sketch when I am on here but at home its still skit lol.

A lot of shows do/did skits (Carol Burnett Show called them skits and so did many variety programs). But SNL even reprimands its cast members and guest hosts (past and present) when they call them skits and not sketches.

Understandable, thanks Chris! Was just giving a non American perspective, it’s not the default show of its type here.

I actually love it when people point these things out. The more you know! I try to avoid too many local turns of phrase when I know I’m on spaces online that aren’t (for the sake of clarity), so it’s really helpful.
