With regard to the women, I think its just a differences in senses of humor, I never really followed up on Sandra Bernhardt after my first few exposures and I was very hit or miss with Molly Shannon when she was on SNL, that said I am always happy to see women working in comedy. Sarah Silverman utterly baffles me, and other people I know and get on with, love her. I think Tina is a good writer, and what I have seen of her on screens of various sizes is funny enough. I think a huge chunk of her humor is that she sets her characters to slip up on various banana peels, she's her own "straight man" (in the comedic sense), and that only goes so far. By design I think it can be uncomfortable to watch, and I get the idea of it feeling forced.
I find Morgan completely one-note on 30 Rock, any time he's on screen its the same basic gag over and over again - and I think the show should wind down, they've played it out. I've never felt any compulsion to check out Morgan's stand up or his other projects on the basis of his time on SNL.
