Jessica Tovar I don’t think it was that. No one in the audience would’ve even realized if he said the wrong day, he would’ve just continued. Maybe if the year was off they’d notice, but not if he was only off by a single day
Taran was and will remain one of the great cast members of SNL. He had “it.” And could morph into every character tossed at him. Shame he’s still not in the show.
Yeah, big mistake letting him go. They haven't had a really good common white guy that can be ANYTHING. Mikey Day is good, but nowhere near as good as Taran.
I’m so grateful to have helped film one of these segments with Taran a few years ago! Can’t tell you just how hilarious and professional he was on set. His humor is infectious and had the whole crew laughing! I have to say, he’s got some great aim with those cards btw😂 One of my favorite memories in the film industry hands down!
Thanks for sharing. To work with any comedian at that level would be amazing! I have loved SNL since I was a kid and was not supposed to watch it! Lol!
What a great character. I can't believe I don't remember seeing this, he's absolutely brilliant. Love how he plays the audience as well, it's a nice touch.
Taran was such an underrated cast member. Unfortunately he was there at the same time as Jason Sudekis. He could have played many of those roles as well.
Same! The couple of times I've seen Seth laugh *really* hard have been when a joke goes out and the audience gives NO reaction. I can't remember it exactly, but there was one other one - maybe on his own show - that was similar. I guess comedy is about surprise and subverting expectations of a setup, and to him it must be hilarious when you expect a laugh and you get absolute *silence* from the audience...
@@rachelrachel9152 I don't think he messed up the line at all - he delivered it and then waited for a reaction and it was just crickets... It was the TOTAL lack of audience reaction that they were laughing at.
@@svyt No he definitely messed up the line. he was supposed to say "Ebenezer Scrooge? More like Ebenezer snooze" ... the way he said it, the audience thought the punchline was still part of the set up. Hilarious moment though and Seth saves it somewhat lol

breaking character at 3:44 did it for me. wish he could change up the delivery so it wasn’t so heavy handed and emphasized at each joke. loving the old angry man persona - Taran was underrated on SNL

@@danuk2136Mary Todd was Lincoln's wife. A "beard" is also a term for a person of the opposite sex that a closeted homosexual dates publicly so as not to out themselves.

Jebidiah Atkinson: [ Jeb uh dye uh ] noun Jebidiah Atkinson is a Weekend Update character that is an 1860s newspaper critic who has something negative to say of just about everything. Jebidiah Atkinson also happens to be pure comedy gold.
This was one of the best, most relatable characters SNL ever had. Taran was a great addition to the show. Atkinson says the things that people are already thinking. lol
The facial expressians and timing are even better than the jokes. This all started when some newspaper that printed a review of the Gettysburg address, calling the Presidents remarks "silly" decided to print an apology 150 years latter. Like that was really bothering people. They dug up Jebidiah (the original critic) who apologizes for nothing and expands his critical reviews to everything. Brilliant!
Honestly this character was brilliant, Taran's acting is hilarious, and when he called himself out on the "same tired character with same tired catchphrase... NEXT!" I laugh EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The whole joke is that the movies and speeches were actually good, and that he is just a resentful critic. If he reviews speeches that are obviously bad, I think the joke will be lost lost.
Ik i hate that they keep saying "every blank sketch ever" when it's literally not, like youd think snl could manage to put all of their own sketches together. Or they Could just say compilation and not say something that's untrue and might cause new viewers to not even look for the others

I mean those ones could be dress rehearsal sketches but normally they mention it.
Goddamnit I love Taran so much. Between this and his psychotic role on community the man is a GEM. Also he and Seth Meyers have such chemistry it’s like sitting next to two best friends riffing at each other for no reason

“No one wants to watch neurotic children trudging through the snow to smooth jazz”. So many great lines.
I voted for Stephen Douglas! lol
Taran was literally one of the funniest of the cast at the time. Bring him back or let him host already 😩
It sucks that he got fired in such a weird way, i worry he'll never come back to host, im hoping he'll be there for the 50th
