Jon Hamm on SNL — Page 2

Supportivemom, I've waited 4 years, so don't be jealous at all! I have a couple friends who got me tickets there. It was quite the night!

I don't think Coldplay played an additional song because they couldn't do another sketch. Amy wasn't in dress rehearsal either and they had 3 additional skits in dress that still didn't make it to air. I just think Coldplay is such a huge band that they wanted to showcase them. Who knows?

I thought Jon Hamm was the best host this season. He was funny, did impressions, made fun of himself, and KNEW HIS LINES!!!!

And, of course , was smokin' hot the whole way through!

I thought the Vincent Price sketch was funny too, but not enough people knew the references. Even a great sketch won't get any laughs if it's about Marie Dressler.

And why is it that Coldplay is the only band where the lead singer is the worst looking of the group?

I don't mind Armisen's Obama. He manages to get the rhythm of his speech pattern down. I look at it as a character, not an impersonation, much like Poehler's Clinton

Armisen's Obama has just about as much behind it as he can dig up. Even Bill Mahr was lamenting the fact that Obama really is hard to make fun of, he is just too normal and bland.
Perhaps the ears are the only thing right now to mock.

Poehler's Clinton has a strong determination and drive behind her, almost to the point of desperation (much like the woman she is parodying). This can be heightened just enough to make it comedic. I think Armisten has to heighten Barack's blandness if that is possible. Heightened Blandness? Is that like more of nothing?
