I can't believe that fans, even after such an incredible performance by Austin, manage to dig out the drama (I'm talking about that ridiculous discussion about the sketch about Elvis). Austin said they only had one night to rehearse all the sketches. Do you seriously think that he ran to the toilet and frantically wrote to Priscilla or Lisa Marie, asking permission for a sketch that he didn't even write? This is insane. These women agreed to use the image and name of Elvis in much more ridiculous things, because they were paid for it, I'm sure they will be able to survive one joke in a sketch that they probably haven't even watched. In general, this deification of the Presley family, the idealization of Austin (as if he is a damn guardian elf of Graceland, when he is actually Gollum) and the sacralization of their relationship will not end well. If only because when the Elvis award season ends, and Coppola's film enters the final stage of post-production, then you will hear a lot of Priscilla's praise for Jacob (regardless of how he embodies the image of Elvis). Some of you are definitely not ready for this.

they might have only rehearsed once but rehearsal was not the first time anyone knew what the sketches were- there are read throughs and what not where things are changed/cut/edited/etc. and i'll stick by thinking it's in the realm of possibility lisa and austin spoke at some point between him being announced as a host and last night. and snl probably came up even if casually when he was talking to priscilla at the celine show. of course i don't know for sure- i unfortunately am not on speaking terms with any of them LOL it's just my opinion.

but i do agree to your other points and think the ppl most upset about the skit were just waiting eagerly for him to do something they disliked so they had a reason to drag him/say he sold out/doesn't really respect e and the family etc. they were praying on his downfall and jumped at the first opp to be "proven right" even if he didn't really do anything wrong- and the family seems to be a-okay given that riley liked baz's post. and i share your sentiment about the priscilla movie too. my opinion on that project as a whole is nawttt popular on etwt and i am also not ready for all the drama when that gets released. god speed and good luck to us all ig.
