SNL was a riot! I laughed more & more at each object that fell on "Omarosa's" head. It was great to see the humorous side of DT & that he doesn't always take himself so serious. Even he knows he is a caricature-an exagerration of his own self. I liked it also when Jimmy mouthed to Carolyn "I love you" in the beginning & Carolyn gave the little coy look.

Bowling Ball,fax machine, pizza, dictionary (abridged), dictionary (unabridged), trash, trash can etc. etc. I am still laughing!

Trump's House of Wings was by far the funniest, but it was all funny. The dancing chickens were priceless, as was The Donald's dancing. I just kept giggling at the chickens. In those half eggs. Dancing. Doing the moonwalk backward. And Donald in that yellow suit.

And! Carolyn is always saying how the TV makes her look older but did you notice that the SNL cameras somehow captured her true, young age? She looked great!

I am not the biggest Trump fan.. but after watching SNL.. like him alot more!! The whole show was way to funny, first time in a very long while, I didnt flip back and forth from Mad TV to SNL..

Funniest part for me was the Prince and the pauper.. when Donald made fun of his own hair and said .."Yeah but I am just a janitor..." was ROFL

I never watch SNL anymore, but when I used to watch it...they had numerous reruns of each show it seemed. I think it's very likely that it will be on again at the very least once more.

I did watch this SNL because of Trump. It was SO LOL funny! The entire show was Trump! I was so surprised to see Carolyn and George on! I loved the show! Seeing Trump dance, make fun of his own hair, Darryl Hammond out of charactor spoofing Regis, he couldn't even say his lines he was laughing so hard, the whole Omarosa skit having to say her entire long name every time and things continually falling from the ceiling, Trump playing himself and 2 SNL people playing Carolyn and George sending Amy and Katrina (both played by snl actors) out of the board room and then rehearsing for a rock show!!! It was all hilarious!

The one thing I thought was in very poor taste was making fun of Star Jones portraying her eating a lot. Parts of that segment were funny but not the parts re: food. Aside from that, great show!

Last Sunday, Star Jones had an engagement party. At said party, she had deep fried chicken wings stuffed with blue cheese. I did not make that up--Page Six said it and if Rupert Mudroch-owned media says it, it has to be true. So, if it involvs ,making fun of Star Jones and eating, I say "bring it on."

Anyone catch the View today? George and Carolyn were on and were very enjoyable. But Joy kept making old-school comments about how "come one ~ she's a beautiful blonde ~ you all know Donald ~ it's the only reason she got hired!" Carolyn was polite but it was obvious she did not appreciate it. Joy kept right on with her comments until finally someone yelled "Joy, you're fired!" That's the whole problem today . . if you're a good looking woman over 50 and successful because of your brains, everyone has to find a way to belittle you. You can bet your bottom dollar that Joy had no intention of making fun of George or Donald. Argh ~ Joy has been the only one I can usually handle listening to but I was very disappointed in how she treated this woman simply because she has succeeded in a man's world. Shame on you Joy!

On another positive note ~ Troy was in the same audience. He told a story about how in his high school yearbook, his senior quote was "I'm coming, Mr. Trump" (or something to that effect). And he mailed him a copy of the yearbook way back then. I think both Carol and Trump meant it when they said it was a hard one to fire him and I wouldn't be surprised if Trump actually hires him in another capacity.

Tishala, have you seen Star Jones lately? She has lost a bunch of weight and is really looking great. If she can lose weight like that and eat food like that occasionally then more power to her!

Yeah Gemma I had to watch her do pilates today on the View. I don't really dislike Star--she's certainly preferable to Elisabeth--but she even said today she's addicted to bacon. Bacon, for pete's sake! LOL.

i work with someone who eats nothing unhealthy in any way, shape or form...except for bacon!

i make incredible hot wings that i put crumbled bleu cheese on just before i put them back under the broiler for the last minute. ummmmm ummmmmm!

i was amazed to read a few weeks back that carolyn is only 35. i still remember DT saying she had been with him 25 years. i don't want to know what she did at age 10 for him....i thought she was at least 45. i will have to catch this if it repeats. sounds as if i missed a good one!

I don't know if this is true or not and maybe someone here can clarify, but when the women were so nasty about Meredith picking Ian on the Bachelorette, someone made a slam on another board. Not here, of course! They said that Star had had gastric bypass surgery and was full of herself since then and since she got engaged. I don't watch the show often since I'm finding the women harder to take all the time and well, I just don't have time for it. I have watched it a few times and I have to say, I saw Star being totally obnoxious to a guest last week. Granted the guy deserves to be asked hard questions (The JFK Jr. Other Man) but, her attitude and tone of voice toward him was just so obnoxious. If you're going to be a professional, act like a professional. You can ask the hard questions, without being nasty. If you can't restrain yourself, then don't have these people on your show.

I would have been really ticked to see Carolyn treated like that. I think she's a classy woman. I'd like to know what her age is, too, only because I've heard the 35 age and now that she's worked for DT for 25 yrs? Something's not right there! I agree Joy is usually easier to take since when she asks questions that seem out of place, she seems to do it in a joking way. But for her to keep at it the way it's been described, gives me one more reason not to worry about seeing this show.

I finally saw the new commerical with Troy being shown as coming back! Yay! He was on Kelly & Regis and my reception was messing up so I could barely hear him, but I did catch enough to be even more impressed with him. I did see him mention his "little sister" and to do American Sign to her. This time more was said about him taking legal responsibility for her. He also mentioned that she was developmentally delayed, as well as hearing impaired. He really is a guy who takes responsibilty in difficult times and still makes great things happen in his career. For whatever "darlin's" or "sweethearts" he may have used, I have to say, I really think a lot of this guy. I hope he does well, and I think he will. When my reception was messing up I know he was mentioning some offers he's gotten, but I didn't hear where.

I'm glad he's coming back because I don't know how much I really cared about watching the rest, especially when they were giving "O" more screen time.

I also hope to catch the rerun of SNL. I obviously missed some great parts of it. I didn't expect it to be "all Trump" and assumed it would be like other shows, where a lot of the rest is really boring.

Re: Carolyn's age, I just re-watched the first part of the first episode and DT introduced Bill as the one who has worked for him for 25 years. He did not specify how long Carolyn has worked for him.

I heard something about Star getting bypass surgery also. (don't know about her attitude as I never watch her)
I believe there was a joke on SNL regarding the gastric bypass. If not on Saturday night during the live show - then on one of those entertainment shows where they showed DT and cast rehearsing during the week.

thank you Cathie for clearing that up!
I too thought she was announced as working for DT for 25 years. Glad I wasn't the only one

I used to love the View, but recently, I have a hard time stomaching it. The only one I respect on the show is Meredith. She is on an even keel. Sure, she has her rants as well, but she doesn't seem to be as one-sided when she interviews someone. If she disagrees or has a strong opinion, she seems to get her point across without being hateful, abrasive, or snarky .

It just seems at times Star and Joy are unprofessional (Star moreso that Joy). I feel that when they interview, they don't give much respect to the interviewee. Star acts as if she is above reproach. If they don't agree with the interviewee's points of view, you can expect to see cattiness. Joy sometimes throws inappropriate jokes in that make me cringe. Do you think if Ellen Degeneres was in the same seat she would act the same way? A certain amount of respect for the guest should play into factor.

I think that if someone doesn't care for a certain guest or has strong negative opinion formed, if you can't view objectively, you shouldn't be in the segment.

With all this being said, whether it be a lighthearted segment or a tough question interview, you can have fun or be serious but still be professional. I understand the original concept behind the nature of the show (different viewpoints from women with diverse backgrounds), but watching a Star Jones conduct a hard-hitting interview someone is a far cry from watching Meredith attempt the same feat.

I know this is the Apprentice folder, but since the View was being addressed here, I just had to add my 30 cents worth!

JMHO

Don't know if it's been mentioned but remember the spolier about Omarossa and Kwame?

I went to that spoiler link and if Kwame wins and Omarosa actually makes it to the final 2 that sucks!

(link is gone)

I thought they said they saw them there, could be true since Omarossa will be back!

did anyone notice that when they show OMA ROSA in the commercial, that the computer screen behind her says "TAJ". (Looks like one of those terminal computers.)

Immikeswfe may have a point...

Or maybe Omarosa was a plant? (I know this was speculated early on) Could that be possible with all her comments in her public appearances after leaving the show?

I did notice the TAJ on the computer screen, why she is around is beyond me, however I do not feel that she is a plant. The night she got fired the Donald called her rude,I don't think he can stomach much of her.

Pleaseeeeeeee someone explain the SNL skit where "O" was parodied, I fell asleep and missed most of the show.
I am a big Troy fan as well, he will go far.

Maya Rudolf was Omarosa on the news segment of SNL. She came on and was doing the beauty pagent wave, then demanded that Tina Fey call her by her full name of Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth. She said that she was a proud nubian woman and nothing could beat her down. Then a small piece of plaster hit her on the head. Full-scale tragedy! She started to wail and complain about having another concussion and then a huge chunk of plaster fell on her head, then a metal screen trash can, then a pizza, then a bowling ball, then I was just laughing too hard to remember each new thing they dropped on her.

The whole show was really funny. I definately recommend you keep an eye out for it in reruns. I would even bet that it will be repeated on Memorial Day weekend.
