      I did like her, and I didn't think I would.



    2. 2

      From what saw, I wasn't really impressed. Her monologue was cute though and I hope her career goes far!



    3. 3

      To be completely honest, it kind of grossed me out!



    4. 4

      Digital short? Does that mean the fat black girl is just CGI



    5. 5

      Are you joking? That was one of the WORST, least funny, stupidest snl skits in a while. Gabourey was awful and has no comedic timing. It was not even close to being "HIGHlarious" dumbass.



    6. 6

      She messed up a lot. Like, bordering on embarrassing, 'lot'.
      Also, as a fellow fat girl, I was embarrassed for her in the beginning….her entire monologue sounded like she was out of breath. The walk from backstage can't be that long!.



    7. 7

      Worst episode all season!



    8. 8

      I expected so much more from her. The funniest part was watching her work up a sweat during the opening monologue. It was high larious!



    9. 9

      There's no way anybody found anything on this SNL episode funny, including spitting cherries back and forth. Why is everyone so afraid to say anything negative about this person? She was AWFUL. It was only partially because she can't act a lick. The material was godawful as well.



    10. 10

      SNL sucks and so does Samberg so it couldn't be funny. I haven't watched it but if I did I guaranty I could tell you why it was NOT funny, so why is it that Perez cannot tell us why it is funny.



    11. 11

      This entire show was not funny, last week's show was.
      Gabby needs to practice more.



    12. 12

      This entire show smelled. Gabby needs to go to another Acting School.
      Last week's SNL comedy was funnier.



    13. 13

      haha that was gross.
      but funny.
      but where did Gabby mess her lines up at?



    14. 14

      Ehhhh the episode was pretty bad. If it hadn't been for January Jones sucking even more, I would have said that it was the worst episode this season.



    15. 15

      I thought she was horrible. I sorta laughed at the end when her ex bf wanted her to take him back, but it was his voice that was funny, nothing else.



    16. 16

      sorry, she was obviously nervous, but she messed up 3 or 4 times. on the whole the night was not that funny. the one really great moment was Bill/Seth doing the news with the gay NY guy.



    17. 17

      Nope. Don't like her. All the 'fame' went to her head. 15 min. up a while ago with me.



    18. 18

      LOL haha that was so stupid it was funny. Applepuss quit hating on fat girls.



    19. 19

      wow that was lame… how is spitting cherrys back n forth supposed to be FUNNY? We're in an age where we can be racially hysterical… lets see this shit



    20. 20

      Honestly, I can not bring myself to watch her.



    21. 21

      I HATED her! I couldn't even watch the whole episode of SNL. It sucked. And she sucked as a host and she messed up a lot of her lines. She shouldn't be a comedian. She's not fucking funny. And she needs to lose weight! And WHAT THE FUCK? The cherry battle sucked. It looked like they were making fun of her because she's so gigantic.



    22. 22

      I had high hopes for her, but she sucked BIG TIME. Even though she messed up her lines several times, that wasn't what bothered me, I thought her acting was HORRIBLE. I'm sure she was nervous, but I just don't think she can act worth a shit either!



    23. 23

      And I forgot to mention she can't sing at all. It was cringe worthy.



    24. 24

      Re: flora_tink – she screwed her lines a lot. one place i remember was during the old lady yelling out the window sketch. the promos were funny, but i stopped watching after the musical guest went on the first time cuz i was bored out of my mind. and i felt so bad for her during the monologue cuz she really sounded out of breath.

      for those saying she's a bad actress, idk how you can say that if you say precious. i'd blame it on her not being funny or snl just sucking balls anyway. and since she single handedly made the snl promos look hilar to the point that i decided to watch (and i haven't seen snl in years and years), then i have to assume it was the shitty writing for snl. when are they gonna have actual talented regulars on there that can actually write something amusing?



    25. 25

      Not only is Mario horrible at blogging and being a "gossip reporter", but he also needs help on finding out what's funny. This has nothing to do with her being a tub of crisco, she was just awful on the show.



    26. 26

      HORRIBLE I had to turn it off because it made me sick. i almost puked watching Andy Samberg's spit covered cherry fly through the air. disgusting and not one thing about it was funny.



    27. 27

      Wow, if that's what is considered a good sketch on SNL these days I definitely didn't miss out by not watching.



    28. 28

      I was just glad there is no such thing as smell-o-vision because that girl is so fucking fat she must stink like a dead animal.



    29. 29

      Ugh… it was a shiteous SNL. Gabby was awful and has NO comedic timing whatsoever. The funniest thing was Bill Hedar (sp) cracking up during his weekend update skit. Can't wait for Betty White :)



    30. 30

      I thought the show was horrible. How awful to either be portrayed as a fat lazy DVM clerk, or an old fat black lady sitting by her window rambling and yelling at two guys sitting on the steps. She flubbed many of her lines- she was boring, and hard to look at. Kinda proves that there are not many roles for her to play on TV or the movies.



    31. 31

      My god people. It seems only people who dislike something will sure let you know, but people don't take the time to respond on a positive note so that is why I am now. I peed my pants at the Cherry thing. Very clever and funny. Yes, Gabby messed up some lines, but other hosts have to and she is still very fresh to acting. I say let's give her break. The show was okay and thank god for the cast cause their the ones that really make the show. Andy Samberg rules!



    32. 32

      Nope. Didn't like her on SNL. One of the worst episodes in awhile.



    33. 33

      Re: flora_tink – She flubbed her lines in NEARLY every skit.



    34. 34

      Oof. this skit was hilarious, but hte rest of the show - TERRIBLE. i thought G was awful. How she was so great in precious, I'm not sure, because the rest of her acting range was poor.



    35. 35

      i thought she did pretty well, a lot better than Pretty Boy Phillipe the week before, and the writing was good. especially memorable was the writer's rant on Girl Scout Cookie availablility.
      if you don't find SNL funny these days, you're too stupid to be watching. go have another shot of whatever the Jersey boneheads are pushing this week.



    36. 36

      Can we even call that a skit? If she wasn't morbidly obese would they even have done that? Seriously. I wish I could get back those 2 minutes of my life I just wasted. This isn't Gabby's fault, it's SNL's fault it sucked.



    37. 37

      That was dumb. SNL is not funny ever.



    38. 38

      she flubbed a bunch but it's so nice to see fresh faces instead of the old stale often entitled actors going around and around. Good for you Gabby. My daughter liked the old lady in the window ; )



    39. 39

      Gabby was great and I am anxious to watch her on Showtime!



    40. 40

      The show was dreadful…but you can't put the blame on Gabby alone. Where are the writers? Did they all leave the show two years ago?



    41. 41

      Enough. Enough of this no-talent Oprah puppet being crammed down our throats. Oprah likes to stand next to her and feel skinny. This woman has no talent, whatsoever. Every role, every skit, everything she ever has done and will do: MINSTREL SHOW. Embarrassing.



    42. 42

      This digital short was not funny at all.



    43. 43

      She absolutely sucked!!! She cannot act and she was not funny! It was so bad, that i just gave up and turned it off!



    44. 44

      you can't blame gaby for bad skit writing, but i thought this was in the better half of the shows this season. weekend update was the best part. i still think gaby's adorable, though, and while she might have flubbed up a couple lines…seriously guys, it's live television. hader was borderline hysterically laughing during his update sketch. if i recall correctly, most hosts have messed up a line or two this season.

      on a related note…this was the most bizarre digital short ever. on the serious. it was kinda nasty.



    45. 45

      Re: mpatt669 – yes. boring, hard to look at, and shouldn't be in anything on tv or movies. exactly. lose some weight honey….you're body can't be happy with you….being fat is one thing…being the size of an elephant is something else.



    46. 46

      The only way that episode could have been any worse, was if Sliimy was the musical guest.



    47. 47

      Can we please get a black woman on SNL? It would be worth it just for the Wendy Williams sketches. We also need to get rid of all these fat black women. They're all over the place. Can we please see some thin and beautiful black actresses?



    48. 48

      I fear for the future of the human race if anyone found this funny. SNL needs to go away. It hasn't been good for like 20 years.



    49. 49

      I think see did AWESOME!!!!



    50. 50

      wow, that was sooo NOT funny



    51. 51

      She was sweating the whole time, it was gross … it can't be healthy



    52. 52

      Gabourey doesn't have a knack for live comedy, that's for sure. Watching her was awkward at times, and her comedic timing sucks. But I won't put all the blame on Gabourey… I'm not sure if the SNL writers really know how to write for a black woman.



    53. 53

      i think she did better on the PROMO rather than the entire show. But i love the song on the opening monologue, "She's Gabourey" is so Hairspray-ish..



    54. 54

      I hope she wisely invested whatever money she got from 'Precious' (and I don't mean at KFC) cause she'll be back in the welfare line real damn soon.



    55. 55

      She's soooooo fat…



    56. 56

      Oh my gosh, she was ADORABLE. I liked the crazy old woman skit, the alarm clock skit, and this cherry one. She was sorely missed in every other skit that she was underused in or wasn't in. That's how good she was.



    57. 57

      I LOVE ANDY SAMBERG!!!!



    58. 58

      I didn't think the episode was all that funny and MGMT was meh, but this had to be the best skit of the night, it was so weird!
      I hope betty white is better
      they should have shia or justin back on they were SO funny



    59. 59

      A couple lines??? She messed up on every sketch!



    60. 60

      I actually pulled some strings and got to see the show live in person. She was FABULOUS! And the cast and crew said she was one of the best, most professonal, hard working, and nicest host they ever had. Yes, she flubbed a couple of lines…But how about YOU try to read dummy cards — COLD READING LINES — live on TV, and see how YOU would do! They change the lines all the way to aire time. So each skit is basically a COLD READING. Gabby did Precious, one other film after that, has a supporting role in the Showtime series, and is working on another feature film. All involve MEMORIZING LINES. VERY RARELY does anyone have to read lines cold on live TV! She did FABULOUSLY, and she looked gorgeous in the opening number! BRAVO, GABBY!!!! Your fellow native New Yorkers (like me) LOVE YOU, AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!



    61. 61

      Re: rbsayshi – What show were YOU watching??? I was there, watching it live at 30 Rock, and I saw it again the next day on TV, and she DID NOT mess up several times! She flubbed a couple of lines. Why don't YOU try reading lines cold from dummy cards and see how YOU do, asshole? You sound like you just don't like her. You're probably biased due to her size or color. I pity ignorant people like you.



    62. 62

      Re: xTovox – And you are soooo ignorant!



    63. 63

      Was rough watching her gasp for air during every one of her skits, she seemed to be short of breath after each line, I was scared for her. I hope the "yes men" around her don't coddle and indulge her now because she is "famous", instead someone close to her should step up and do the right thing, as unpopular as it may be she needs to change her lifestyle. From one young woman to another, I wish you much luck and good health Gabourey.



    64. 64

      SNL hasn't been funny since Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey left.



    65. 65

      eeeww..lol



    66. 66

      Sometimes the craziest stuff can be funny.



    67. 67

      i LOVED gabby on SNL! Watching her brought a smile to my face for the entire show.



    68. 68

      she didn't flub a couple lines, she flubbed ALL her lines. it was painful.



    69. 69

      I can't believe people actually watch this show. It is about as funny as Tracy Morgan, Carrot Top and Jeff Foxworthy. It would have been funny if they had made Gabourey wear a two piece bikini though!



    70. 70

      Oh Noooo….Mr Bill!!



    71. 71

      she looks like that fat black kid from hook. except with a weave.



    72. 72

      OMG that was hilarious. I feel light headed I laughed so hard. It sounds like The Ghost in the Machine.



    73. 73

      I completely disagree with the people who say she doesn't have good comedic timing. I think she has good timing and delivery… when she read her lines right. What she doesn't have is the practice and polish of a more experienced actor. She couldn't overcome her instinct to go back over "do-over" her line when she messed up, and it made her mistakes that much more obvious. To say the wrong word and know it, but just keep going as if you hadn't messed up, is a skill that takes practice and she is very new to acting. Cold reading itself is a skill that takes practice. When she was on a roll, she was very funny. She's probably not cut out for live comedy, but she showed a lot of potential and could be really good in a movie.



    74. 74

      If this is one of the better skits of late,I'm glad I don't watch it anymore.



    75. 75

      I absolutely disagree!! This was a stupid digital short, and SNL hasn't been funny in a hot fucking minute… I liked Gabourey in Precious, but she doesn't have the right comedic timing for SNL… although I don't blame her as much as I do the writers… What the fuck are they getting paid to do, because what they are coming up with is painful to watch and not funny…



    76. 76

      Re: guyonacourt – agreed… that was about the only funny thing in the whole damn episode



    77. 77

      That chick is a GROSS, SWEATY, FUGLY PIG … I could not watch.



    78. 78

      Re: princessmichelley – i really think it's SNL. it just isn't funny to me anymore



    79. 79

      Re: Jonesy156 – I'm not biased against her. I was actually excited to see the preview of her and Andy. The show was a disappointment. You can't obviously tell me you enjoyed the show? Please don't give any excuses for her. She was nominated for and Oscar and she couldn't even read cue cards??? I'm not asking her to remember lines. Just read the cards.
