There’s no SNL preface.
No one comes out before the show and says, ‘hey this weeks show isn’t gonna be as good as the last few…and it’s definitely not going to be a classic but here it is anyway’.
But they know.
It feels so good to preface because it insulates us from taking full responsibility and it helps try and control how someone receives whatever comes next.
But if the thing is worth saying in the first place, it probably doesn’t need a preface. And if it needs a preface maybe the thing after it isn’t worth saying.
