The Big Hollywood Quiz - SNL 

Ikr

and no one wants to pay because we're all squeezed slaving away for some slumlord #TheRentIsTooDamnHigh

Well yeah. That’s why it’s funny. It wouldn’t make sense if there was no truth to it.

and no good movies

@Aidan TorrenceThere are

I didn’t know any of these or if they were even real shows/movies lol 😂

true

I feel like tv shows have replaced movies now a days in terms of being the cultural focus. If this sketch had been about TV shows i feel like a lot more people would know the answers

@Lucy Donohue Nope.

@Lucy Donohue Yeah, the big watched-by-many tv shows tend to be way more similar, and people don't really watch movies anymore. I know at least from my experience that barely anyone talks about what movies they watched now, it's way more about tv shows.

Love this comment!

to be fair, back then, everything was by and for white men and sometimes white women. This segmentation has allowed people who never had a voice to finally have one. Eg. could you even imagine Ms. Marvel being a thing in the 90s even in Pakistan?

@Jhon Shephard I don’t think it has anything to do with diversity. I am from India, and even here we have the same issue. Earlier, our movies and TV used to be consumed by the entire household. Even the grandfather would look forward to a new episode at 9pm, just as much as his teenage grandchild. Today, everyone is catered to separately, often never in a communal viewing experience. It’s been segmented so much that finding common likes has become very difficult. Secondly, we used to also consume “foreign” (American) content for the escapism. None of us actually bothered whether Friends was white or Bel Air was black - they just delivered laughs and we loved them all. Representation today is a great thing of course, but I’m trying to say that it didn’t impact our entertainment consumption habits. It was ultimately all the algorithm based streaming services (and screens on our hands) that really broke the mass consumption nature of entertainment.

@Jhon Shephard The problem is oversaturation and everything being divided up and locked behind the paywalls of competing streaming services. It has nothing to do with skin color or culture, or gender, or sexuality. I'm a white guy that enjoyed watching What's Happening and The Jefferson's just as much as the show's people currently label as 'made for white people'. The hard truth is that we used to set aside time to watch shows for free back then and now we set aside shows til we have the time or budget to actually see them which forces us to be far more selective in what we choose to watch. Add to that the number of decent shows just simply getting buried in the algorithm in favor of mediocre shows getting pushed to the front by marketing and people become less likely to care about watching anything anymore. Produce quality over quantity and you'll see all this fictitious 'hate' disappear.

I don't really agree with this I mean people still watch Stranger Things and know about big movies coming up. I get the point and slightly agree but I still think there are touchstones that are impacting people like even Avatar 2 and any of the marvel movies

They need a new one for if keenan ever leaves

Bowen is stealing Keenan's job.

reminds me of bill hader's host characters

Yeah, he absolutely killed that.

Really enjoy seeing Bowen come into his own, so much talent!

To good tobtrue

time stamp?

the way he said "yaaay!...why" 🤣🤣🤣

Don't worry, you grew up and lived a lot of years where there was still generally films or shows that most people watched or knew about. Now there's a bazillion platforms and increasingly algorithm-filtered content, who has the time to keep up with everything that's on?

That's no problem, I'm in my 20's and even I had trouble with some of the answers!!

Yeah, I even knew they got the quote wrong from "All About Eve." But new shows? Nah.

I used to be with it, then they changed what it was and now I find it scary and confusing. It will happen to you too

@TAO TOLOGY There are still films or shows that most people watched or knew about: _Avatar: The Way of Water, Top Gun: Maverick, Wednesday, Stranger Things, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever_ , et al

What? What's that on? Never heard of it

Her line caught me off guard and her delivery of it was spot on

Never heard of what your bragging about.

lego my eggo

Bro what are you talking about☠️

We are more than halfway through the season. It ends in 3 months.

@Wooden Films I laughed so hard at your comment because I really had to stop and think what month am I am??

@Wooden Films Thank you. How does that comment get 248 thumbs ups?! Oy vey.

@Josh Begley A lot of comments praise SNL in a way that feels like bots or fake accounts.

@Wooden Films good call

PP is way better than Harrison Ford!

@Jace Easter 😂😂😂

Harrison Ford is this generation's Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford was everyone's cranky uncle when he was young. "Great, kid! Don't get cocky." His roles in the reboots of Star Wars and Blade Runner have cemented him into that cranky but loveable grandfather position.

I think he's the next Mandy Patinkin, except not reportedly difficult to work with. That may just be because I would slap a nun to get The Princess Bride remade with Pedro as The Spaniard.

Moni Lein same 😆

@Moni Lein He's The Last of Us and he plays the main character in The Mandalorian

Moni Lein that’s probably because he’s always hiding his face in his roles

Moni Lein The Last of Us is streaming on HBO Max, and it's breaking viewership records every week. It was also renewed for a second season after the 2nd episode aired. The fan base is huge.

Huh, here was me thinking it's about how stuff blows these days so most peeps just tune out of ut

HBO is going strong

And how people hated the HBO Max "Adult" Animation "Velma" recently

the last positive collective shared experience was "Lost" and "Friday Night Lights"

Hey. I liked that movie....

*Kenan

They didn't pass the torch. Bowen plays all the gays.

@Joey Baseball this sketch has zero mention of him being gay or anything to do with sexuality

He's been growing on me as of late. I think that SNL was such a pillar of life at times that I resent any changes until I get used to them.

He crushed it

Too bad he didn't spit it back out.

Keenan is far superior in this role as talk show host

Bowen doesn't seem that funny to me. Keenan is much better.

Keenan is on an entirely different level than Bowen

👀 I see what you did there!!! 😆 🤣 😂

I recently ran out of shows and I'd heard that Sam Jackson was in something and I googled "new Sam Jackson movie or TV show" to find it. What's worse is I just binged it and still didn't know the Ptitle

You’re trying too hard

Yes especially since the iceberg skit

He's perfection

Thank god it was only 14 years ago 😖

@Tahoe Benyeah i was about to say 🤣

Lol same here. First thing I did was Google it, hoping it hadn't been that long. But with the amount of tv I watch I still felt old, having trouble thinking of 5 semi recent movies.

They've really come into their own since becoming main cast members!!

I hope they go far, cause they’re amazing! ❤️

I feel like i used to know what was out cause I'd see trailers. I dont really anymore, but maybe thats cause we don't watch regular TV anymore. they need to find better ways to advertise. I still see plenty of ads, but not so much for movies

@phatdog45 Pretty much. Streaming services advertise their own shows mostly, and the places you used to get ads for movies, tv and cinemas, are mostly dying. Heck, pre-covid, I used to semi-regularly check out what movies were coming out in theatres. But now? Nah.

@JPvid-Kit94 Yeah it kinda sucks, because there is so much great stuff out there.

😂😂😂😂

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Bowen?! You’re having a laugh right? Yeah maybe Bowen is the next Robin Williams too.

Kate McKinnon could play everything from a Gisele type supermodel to Rudy Giuliani and everything in between. Bowen Yang can do either an ambiguously gay character in whatever his costume requires him to be, or an over the top flamboyant gay character in whatever his costume requires him to be, and that is his range. Comparing him to Kate McKinnon is laughable.

@clever username Kate McKinnon level. Keyword level. Like big in the cast. Read the damn comment before speaking. While true and Kate McKinnon could kill me and I would apologize still didn’t read it fully dude.

There are 20 new shows a month and like 80 new movies, no one can keep up, not even my students who only watch tik tok and youtube

@Julianne Hannes its not that there's too many movies to keep up...its that there's not enough GOOD movies to give a shit.

@Mark if you can't find good movies that says something about your algorithm lmao.

Tv show wise, yeah there's too many shows to know what's popular. Movie wise, you're just old. It's not difficult to know which movies are popular these days, there's not that many

Yooo...He'd be great as Burt Reynolds like Norm McDonald use to play. He looks like him.

@thetylife ngl i was talking about the actual jeopardy show but that'd be sick too

I want him on celebrity family feud and jeopardy

@thetylife I believe you mean Turd Ferguson.

Which one: the real one or the SNL version?

Lovitz.

Where did he do the bit? On his podcast?

No, Breaking Bad creator is Vince Gilligan, Michael Morris directed 5 episodes of Better Call Saul only.

He's a natural entertainer

I can only name superheroes movies

A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place 2, Halloween 2021, Halloween Ends, Avatar, Top Gun, A Man Called Otto. I know ones that went to the theater, but obscure streaming movies, NOPE!

The Batman was the worst one yet. So boring!

They're all Marvel, of course. Those are pretty much the only movies that everyone knows!

No shit, I had to look her up. She was in Birdman!?!?!? WTF? 😂😂😂😂😂

@Frank Sadat Birdman was terrible. Just an awful movie, made by Hollywood for Hollywood.

@Frank Sadat Yep, she's been acting in film and television since 2005. She was in such films as Oblivion (opposite Tom Cruise), Birdman (which won four Oscars), and Nocturnal Animals (which was also Oscar nominated) and played the title role in Mandy (opposite Nicholas Cage).

Good job 👏

feel free to enlighten us with gems we may have missed.

what even is this - and i’m a film buff

Did not know a single 2020 question, but got all the rest 😅

Not only all of that, but movies and shows come out so fast now, movies straight to streaming, and there’s a ton of different shows to watch on so many platforms. Just too much! lol

Just wait until you're older and go from knowing all the Grammy nominees in every category to practically none. (I've still heard of Taylor Swift and Beyonce so there's that)

@David Waters I hear that! I looked at the best new artist award and realized I had never heard of any of them! And then Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, one of the seminal albums of my college experience, won an award for the compilation of its 20th(!!!!) anniversary release. My college rock is classic rock now!

I thought of the night man cometh too

I wonder if that was a coincidence or an on purpose wink

Came for this comment, thank you 😅
