it would have been so funny if they showed a picture of black Michael Jackson and he said passed and then immediately showed white Michael Jackson after and he guessed it right
yes thank you we all watched the same thing you did. no one needs you to quote the joke from the video we all saw and put an emoji after it like you’re having some original thought. you’re just transcribing the video. cringe
For many years now SNL has had NO idea how to end a sketch that doesnt have a "natural" end point. Oddly enough a game show should have a natural end point so i guess they finally suck that much
I can't speak for what happened exactly, but I do know that sometimes, they end a sketch on TV for time purposes even though it goes longer in person. Perhaps this is one of those times? Or maybe they just really didn't know how to end it.

@@vandal280 I guess because I said "what?" in my first comment, it makes sense that you thought I was confused. I was just exclaiming about how strange and funny it was.
They needed to make this sketch clearer... Either Shane messed up or poor writing; The character knew all the answers but was afraid that if he did get one wrong, on television, he'd be labeled/canceled and ruined socially... (not that he didn't know who they were because he is white)
To anyone who hasn’t seen any of the actual episodes of “The Floor” since it’s a new game show: this sketch is actually a hilarious art imitates real life type of sketch because the actual episodes so far have really had several moments like this (just to a lesser extent)
I did all the sound FX for this while having a migraine last week. It's nice to watch it back and see that it went so well. I was struggling at the time. All the buzzers and such...that's me. Ask me about it! Posting on a lark, just to see how RUclips works
Intentionally making noise while having a migraine requires a wild level of fortitude!! I’d’ve been dragging myself across the stage, wrapped in a strangely crusty towel I found in a utility closet, whimpering and clawing at the lights. Do you have a keyboard with all the sounds on them?

The joke was that he was right. The photo was Jean-Michel Basquiat, but he conceeded to her (a Black woman) that it was The Weekend, because of his White Guilt, that he couldn't name any of the historical persons in his previous round. it ended where it was intended to end.
Not your fault. At all. If you've seen the show, you quickly realize that the "categories" can be incredibly vague. One person had "Simpsons Actors" which consisted of pictures of actors who voiced characters on the show--NOT pictures of the characters themselves. This included guest spots, and people who played themselves. So random.
@@StevenMcPeterbilt I know that--I saw the episode. My point is that the contestant who claimed to be a Simpsons expert didn't need to know a thing about the show--only the faces of some of the hundreds of actors that have voiced characters on the show. The "Simpsons" part could have been left out of the category and nothing would need to change.
Vocally, maybe. Appearance-wise, Rob Lowe is supposed to look like the illegitimate son of Charles Rocket (Lowe has the square jawline and piercing blue eyes that Charles Rocket had). Michael Longfellow looks more like Cecily Strong's long-lost brother, with Norm Macdonald's dry humor and Bill Hader's penchant for playing sadistic game show hosts (and strangely, can play Bill Hader when he's not playing weird characters or doing spot-on celebrity impressions).
It just shows you what a good guy Shane is. even though he got fired from this place he still puts shine on the SNL crew by letting them do a show with him.
@@Gr8Incarnate Was the guy your Father? No. Did he insult him? No. You ought to seek some therapy for whatever aggression has built up in your life and stop being such a jerk.

You can see the disappointment on his face to their unoriginal replies. They just pass what he said as awkward and try to move on instead of running with it to add.

That’s why it’s the first time I didn’t find his lines funny. Being a professional doesn’t mean sitting on the show. Look at Shane’s character in the eye and take the high road. He didn’t connect with his lines at all, rushed to get them out and off the stage.
I thought me and my husband were the only ones who noticed how they don't know anything about anything to do with black people on The Floor, they passed EVERY TIME!

Maybe one day they will be able to ask AI how to end a sketch based on a scenario.
what did you think whenever you saw the orange juice?
I though uhhh... thats.. orange juice
dude I love this guy
If SNLs goal is to be anticlimactic and not know how to end a sketch, then they are on top for their game!
I feel like they should have featured some obscure white historical figures and he gets them all.
Yeah they are still figuring it out...
@@IndepenisDay After all, it's only been about 50 years since they first aired
This would be so easy to end. It's a sketch about a show with a host, just have the host go to break right after something funny happens.

Snl is dud after dud, this started out bad and finished embarrassingly bad
It seems like this was meant to be the inverse of the Tom Hanks MAGA Jeopardy skit, but they whiffed on the punchline.
They are just hiring randoms now. The last 10 years it has gone from bad to junior high school level writing.
To anyone who hasn’t seen any of the actual episodes of “The Floor” since it’s a new game show: this sketch is actually a hilarious art imitates real life type of sketch because the actual episodes so far have really had several moments like this (just to a lesser extent)

None of it worked. Who is writing this shit?
It worked in places. Like a lot of SNL sketches. Highs and lows.
At least Shane was funny in it.

Definitely was abrupt when I watched live and still is watching it again.
