    I do like some of the comments


    "Make fun of the Chinese people as much as you do the Irish"

    "Holy f*ck are you guys even trying any more"

    "James, you're a cnut"

    Monologue wasn't so bad from a non comedian. The sketch isn't any worse or better than current SNL content. I think Saoirse did quite well.

    Always thought SNL was a show that was very much in love with itself and its place in American life. She's not that funny, but neither is the show.

    Non-comedians are generally not that great at the SNL thing. Nothing new there. Wouldn’t be hard on her over it, showbiz veterans have died on their arse on it. Including comedians ie. Larry David.

    She could only work with the material she was given. I thought she did fine. The scripts were sub par. If par is funny.

    I thought the news segments were funny, not Daily show funny, but decent.

    SNL hasn't been funny for about 30 years.

    I never did get the 'humour' that comes with Saturday Night Live. Seems to be a show that's up its own arse.

    Typical Irish begrudging a young person doing well for themselves.

    I'm not going to watch the clip because I don't want to be cringing but Saturday night live has never been funny

    She was fine. It was the sketches that were dire. Not a lot she could do with what she was given. It's not like she wrote them herself (at least, I presume she didn't!!)

    SNL is very much American humour. I don't really find any of the sketches I've seen over the years particularly funny.

    She has got so much mileage out of her name being hard to pronounce. It's really time to stop talking about it.

    Worst of all is that she doesn't pronounce it like any of the Saoirses I know.

    SNL is the unfunniest thing I have ever watched. Dire stuff.

    She has been in quite a good few big moves. She's only 23 you know ;)

    The aer lingus "sketch" was very lame. The writers who came up with that material should be sacked.

    I haven't watched the clip but it could probably be a link to 99% of the stuff ever produced by SNL and it would be awful.

    I hate they way they pretend the laughing out of character somehow makes things loltastic.

    As others have said SNL has been woefully unfunny for decades at this point, so i wouldn't have a go at her for that.

    I'd agree that the whole name pronunciation thing has been done to death at this stage but apart from that i think she's great. Her choice of role & performances for a 23 year old have been consistently impressive.

    One of the few genuinely exceptional talents this country produces every now and again.
