Covid SNL w/Jim Carrey Chris Rock and Megan the Stallion

-

 So Saturday Night Live was brought back for their first episode of season 46 hosted by Chris Rock. Now I definitely have been late on the SNL train but I was interested in how the production would change due to corona restrictions and policies. 

There was a noticeable difference and the new rules and current climate were hard to ignore with references throughout the show. 

Politics of course was the main focal point, with the presidential election only weeks away, as it should be. Elections aside, politics for the past 6 odd months have been hot button topics of course, with coronas threat to public health, governmental restrictions put in place, as well as the affects on the American people. 




As much material that has been circulating around the media the episode had more of a safe and cautious feel, definitely toeing the line. The opening episode started off with a parody of the presidential debate that had just happened portrayed by Jim Carrey for Joe Biden and Alec Baldwin returning to his Donald Trump. 

Other sketches touches on the effects of corona, with material including masks, online school teaching, TIkTok, and the NBA bubble.  

Now next week the host is Bill Burr and I love that SNL is willing to touch on more controversial and edgier topics as he does. Bill's New Englander attitude and quick wit could definitely prompt a diverse array of sketches. Coupled with previous acting college Pete Davidson, there are definite areas for outside the box options.

iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026: It is sad that a radio monopoly can still bully and make fun of musicians and their fanbase with their huge platform

  edited: So after hearing a iHeartradio host and whole radio program name-call and make fun a fanbase post show this whole concert thing just doesn't really feel right anymore.  I understand sticking up for your place of work because of upset fans and wanting to have a conversation about settimes and lineups but as the host stated himself, there was an agreed upon contract between BTS and iHeart.  Going on an onair rant about a fanbase and artist that iHeart has worked with for years feels unprofessional and with his cohosts just laughing along, agreeing with him is just mean.  Poking fun at an artists name not even trying to pronounce his name correctly multiple times, complaining about ARMY, telling them to suck it...It almost feels like there is still zero progress with how media in American media.  . . . . also ps, the hosts actively are dumbing down the concept of a variety show like viewers are unfamiliar, whilst billing and marketing the event as iHeart ...

what if BTS does headline Coachella 2027????

So like if BTS does headline coachella which honestly could be a thing and  maybe their setlist has to be similar to big bangs right? similar huge asian boyband whop have been around for 10 yrs so maybe not the same size catalog but huge at the moment.  Like so half group numbers and then a handful of their solo projects. Sabrina carpenter did about 25 songs and did 23 with is the exact song count as its tour right now but the length of show is like 2 hrs not the 1.5 headliners get at coachella I think,  BTS' top youtube songs are Dynamite, boys with luv, DNA, MIC Drop, IDOL, FAKE LOVE, Butter, Blood sweat tears, Save me, and Permission to dance.  or maybe similar to gaga where like a third of her setlist was her new album and all her hits. so like probably Body to Body, Swim, Normal, Holligan, FYA, 2.0, Aliens or like animals, tho I love come over too. so it'll be like their Gwanghwamun Square Setlist then with more throwbacks? it was an hour long then add in solos....

 like coming in as a newbie the energy was crazy! even before hand everyone was just so positive around, the transition between songs was perfect.  because the concert was in the round it honest felt like great view for everyone, even with the catwalks at on every corner! truly put on a great show! I only maybe liked and knew Mic Drop and Boys with Luv . Of course butter and Dynamite I knew too from either from my time at radio or just award shows.  Going into the concert I liked studied for the show and their music and loved their songs Come Over and Animals even though it kinda sounds like a sad somber song. Of course after the Grammy thing Aliens was iconic like iconic.  Besides their new album their solo stuff is kinda impressive too, all different sounds and their voice tones really show as well and you can see their styles they choose for themselves. I was impressed cuz at the runways like nearly I saw all the members RM Jimin V and Jungkook. Jin and Jhope went...

Top artists I saw each day at Coachella 2026

Day 1 Because I was week 1 didn't get to see Anyma live and sooo jealous it looked like a great set! Highlight of the day was Katseye for sure, Sabrina always has thrown a cute show, great voice. saw a little bit of Pawsa and Creepy Nuts after I left Sabrina to go walk around.  I do wish the wind didn't shut everything down but it happens, Creepy Nuts was such a vibe, and Quasar is always such a crazy fun stage.    Day 2 So during the day, Hamdi and Zulan were a great vibe, like latino vibe for sureeee, and the rest of the night was pure r&b.  Sombr is so talented for being such a young kid, great voice, would've to see him more alternative rather than pop but pop always likes to collect great voices. Giveon has a crazy soulful voice, and The Strokes, like guitar hero throwback and Reptilia was iconicccc.  @cra82779 @ZULAN #zulan #coachella ♬ original sound - ~~cara~~ And of Course bieberchella, necessary and need to check out his n...
