SNL Returned!
I got to watch the return of SNL, hosted by my hero, with my best friend. I viewed SNL in perfect conditions. And now for the review.
-I’d go gay, for Tina Fey.
Ok… so probably not… regardless, she hosted SNL and it was perfect timing for her to host. PERFECT. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR OL’ LIZ LEMON.
-For white girls who considered snl, when the ucb stage is enuf!
Apparently it’s the last season for both Amy and Maya. It’s a sad fact, but they’ve both contributed a lot to the show and both will continue to contribute a lot to comedy. BUT, where was Maya? No sign of her tonight on this lady heavy show. I’m praying that sometime before the season is over she will play Mrs. Obama.
With the end of Maya and Amy’s contract in sight, tonight SNL introduced Casey Wilson, who has both graced and written for the LA UCB stage. Casey appeared in SOOO many skits tonight, it was awesome to see someone get so much screen time on their first appearance. And to portray a variety of characters.
-Whobama?
The question on the minds of frequent SNL watchers has been for the past three months, who will play Obama? SNL needs politics. And America needs SNL for what it says about politics. Politics were all over this episode, as it should have and was successfully done. As far as who would play Obama…Fred and… I’m alright with it.
- Weekend Update, More Like Tina Fey Update
Weekend Update is single handedly my favorite part of SNL. Why? Simple. SNL can be terrible, but Weekend Update will produce. There is always stuff in the news, there is always weird news, and Amy always makes weird faces with a joke works, and another face when it flops. And that other guy…well, he’s got jokes but… Anyway. The best part of Weekend Update? Not Huck. I don’t care what your political affiliations are, if you hate Hilary, if you’re republican, Tina Fey’s long monologue had some general good points and as far as the comedy of it, spot on. Spot on. It flowed. It was awesome. Bitch is the new black (particularly after watching Thursday night’s debate on repeat, as I type this, and viewing how at points Hilary was cut off) hells to the yeah for Tina’s monologue. It made me feel good.
5 out of 5.
TRY AN TELL ME WOMEN AREN’T FUNNY. TRY IT. FUCKING TRY IT.
MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!
happiness is late night tv watching.
Live From New York…
…it’s a Saturday Night Live Christmas episode. Because if they can’t give you new, they might as well give you host, Steve Martin and the best cast of the 90s.
My commentary:
- DEAR LORD this episode is pre-Father of the Bride.
- Adam Sandler was kinda hott.
- It’s the episode with Schmitts Gay. Haha.
Anyway, today I my parent’s and I were talking about the writer’s strike. (Specifically about SNL writers) Arguing rather. My argument: Even though the writers are striking by not working, I say the whole strike is fueling their fire. They’re all probably writing and keeping ideas, as writers/comedians do. My Dad’s Argument: Nah! They’re vacationing.
…I mean, sure they make more money than most people, but that doesn’t mean they’re vacationing for God’s sake. I mean really, the writers of SNL had just come back from a 4 month vaca/movie shooting period, had an episode or two, and then it was “pencils down.” Come on Dad, get your head out of the clouds.
- Theatre Stories! I love Mike Myers in this skit. So good. Steve is pretty good too. Its a little long though.
- James Taylor.
I can mark something off of my Master-to-do list of DOOM!!!
5. Get Ray a Christmas Present.
- Kevin Nealon Weekend Update = WEAK. Sorry, dude.
- This was a great episode to pick to play today.
- Three words. SHUT. SANDLER. UP. Gosh,… is there a punch line?
- HOOK had just opened. GOD. I was a child.
- DEEP THOUGHTS. hahaha. wild dogs. that’s hysterical.
Tonight I went to my aunt and uncles house to catch up with the fam before the chaos of Xmas Eve. It was fun. It was my first legal night of drinking with my parents. I got to tell my aunt and uncle all about my plans to move to NY. I also got hear about all the family Christmas drama. FUNNNN…
- Did anyone ever write Chris Rock something that was actually hysterical?
- Global Warming Joke! 2 points…
Lorne Michaels is hottstuff. I’m gonna go now, I have a bit of a headache.
GOODNIGHT.
