6. What is Patty Simcox on?
7. Is she willing to share?
8. Is Ana Gasteyer’s principal character giving anyone else SNL feels? #WemissyouAna
9. WHAT IS MARIO LOPEZ DOING HERE?
“Hello, I’m Mario Lopez, and I’m… hosting… this musical?”

Mario Lopez just ruined #GreaseLive like Tori ruined “Saved By the Bell.”

30. If this was on cable, we’d find out in the next act that Sandy left the dance because she has a dark past and is secretly cooking meth at her house. Would anyone else watch that?
31. So. Much. Static. Who will pay for this “Hopelessly Devoted” disrespect?
32. Is Sandy sad because her pool is empty?
33. Is the ring like those traveling pants? Because there’s no way that fits Julianna Hough.
34. How quickly can we get Aaron Tviet’s Sin Wagon to become a real-life theme park ride? #wouldride

37. Who’s going to hire Vanessa Hudgens next? Because damn.
38. Is anyone else car sick?
39. Has anyone ever enjoyed playing the xylophone as much as Blanche?
40. Anyone feel bad for Eugene for missing that live pie throw?
41. Does anyone else think Kether Donohue’s pigtails look as tired as this poor cast probably is?
42. Is this golf cart action making anyone else ridiculously nervous?
43. Where was my invite to this party?
44. Can we get a little respect for the ladies who just did that dance scene in five inch heels?
45. When can we do this again?
