Jon Hamm on SNL

Absolutely agree.
Hamm and Bubble might have been the funniest skit they've done in five years.
I also really liked the Sergio digital short, Hamm as Scott Brown, and calling back to the closet organizer at the end. Weekend Update was, as I have to admit it usually is, funny.
Weak spots: alien sportscaster was funny but done before. The Don't Ask Me to Sing skit (other than Hamm giving 100% to it) and the court reporter skit were painful. I don't understand why SNL seems to think having a character say the same thing over and over with a variety of twitches to accompany it is the epitome of comedy.

After a day in New York at the theater, I fell asleep halfway through SNL. I loved Jon Hamm in the sketches I saw - Don't Ask Me to Sing, Scott Brown and the Voodoo one. He was reallly funny! I used to like Kristen Wiig but her obnoxious characters are too overdone and are just annoying, not funny anymore.

DAMN was this good! SERGIO to Scott Borwn (Flapper Girl! LOL!) to the Hamm/Buble musical commercial - BEST of the season! Hamm is SUCH a natural - get him on stage! So delighted this was so wonderful, it really brought back memories of the best SNL's from my youth (Farley/Sandler/Myers)! PLUS Weekend Update was on FIRE! Go Seth!

OMG and the blue creature in the closet was one of the funniest commercials they've had in a long time! When they threw the slab of peanut butter and the dirt at it I really started to lose it! LOL!

I agree with Clever. The Don Draper Guide his first time hosting was amazing. But he was way more fearless this time around with the Sergio digital short alone. Also I love when the musical guests break into the skits and are actually funny. Michael Buble was definitely one of those musical guests.

"It was the first episode in recent memory I watched from beginning to end & hardly any weak material If only they were all like this"

Roxy, it's always been clear you don't watch the whole episodes you declare to be awful.

Yes, Michelle, I agree. They have tried referencing skits like that before but they always seem to get cut before air. Once with the Sam Waterson Mutual Robot Insurance sketch (which aired) they ending a later skit in the show by having the robot break through a wall and grabbing someone. It was brilliant but it was cut. Hopefully they will do more of that now.

"Don't Ask Me To Sing" was overdone because of the writing and the monotony, not Kristin's work. She gives unstintingly, but even she cannot sustain material that is one joke and twice as long as it need be. I still find her fearless.
