[APPLAUSE] PEREZ: TYPICAL "SATURDAY NIGHT
LIVE."
JULIE: SURE.
PEREZ: BUT NOT EVERYBODY FIGHT HUMOROUSLY.
THE INTERNET REACTED IT LOUDLY. ONE WROTE THIS ON TWITTER.
"DAMN, "S.N.L." CAN'T EVEN END A TRIBUTE SHOW RIGHT.
NOBODY WANTED TO SE THOSE IMITATION SKETCHES AT THE END.
COME ON." SO WHAT DO YOU LADIES THINK?
SHARON: IT'S "S.N.L.."
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
[APPLAUSE] THEY WEREN'T HORRIBLE.
THEY WEREN'T HORRIBLE.
THEY WERE FUNNY.
AND HARMLESSLY FUNNY. JULIE: I SAW THE WHOLE SHOW.
I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE AT ONE POINT, I WAS GOING -- BECAUSE
THEY STARTED THE FRONT END OF THE SHOW WITH PERFORMANCE,
PERFORMANCE, PERFORMANCE, AND ENDED IT WITH SKETCH, SKETCH,
SKETCH BECAUSE THAT WAS THE RECURRING SKETCH THAT THEY DID.
BUT AT THE END, REMEMBER LAST YEAR, "S.N.L." CELEBRATED THEIR
40TH ANNIVERSARY? PRINCE SHOWED UP AT 4:30 IN THE
MORNING.
THEY SHOWED THAT FOOTAGE. THEY HAD LIKE AN AFTER-PARTY.
IF PRINCE FELT OFFENDED WHEN HE WAS ALIVE, I DON'T THINK HE
WOULD HAVE GONE LAST YEAR TO PLAY AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING, YOU
KNOW, BROUGHT THE PARTY TO ITS FEET.
[APPLAUSE] JULIE: I'M SURE THE PARTY WAS
ALREADY ON ITS FEET.
SARA: LOOK, I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE IS SENSITIVE FOR
THEM AND THEY DON'T LIKE THEM.
BUT YOU JUST DON'T WATCH "S.N.L.."
YOU GO TO COACHELLA, THEY'RE GOING TO DO A MUSIC TRIBUTE.
YOU WATCH PRIME TIME TELEVISION, THEY'RE GOING TO DO A DIFFERENT
TYPE OF TRIBUTE.
JUST BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING AND JUST DECIDE WHAT'S
THE RIGHT KIND OF TRIBUTE FOR YOU.
AISHA: AND IT'S A COMEDY SHOW.
IF THEY DIDN'T FILM IT, IT WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN A MUSIC SHOW.
SHARON: AND THAT WAS IT.
AISHA: RIGHT. JULIE: WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK,
SHERYL? SHERYL: FOR SOME, IT'S TOO SOON
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT PRINCE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
HE LOVED TO LAUGH.
I WISH HE WOULD HAVE GOT ALL THIS LOVE WHILE HE WAS ALIVE.
AISHA: I FEEL THAT WAY TOO. COULN'T WE HAD HIM ANOTHER WEEK
SO HE COULD HAVE SEEN ALL THIS LOVE?
IT STINKS TO TRIBUTE PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE GONE.
SARA: YOU DON'T THINK HE FELT ALL OF OUR LOVE?
AISHA: I DON'T KNOW.
I HOPE SO.
PEREZ: I WOULD TRIBUTE BARBRA STREISAND AND IT WAS HER
BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY. AND SHE'S STILL WITH US.
[APPLAUSE] JULIE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBRA.
