After the lame superbowl sketch, I gave up

That was an embarrassment . It may be better next week as it couldn't be any worse.

Was the rest of the show as bad?

It was so so. Steve Martin did this slightly bizarre but kinda fun bluegrass tune with his band. it just went on a bit too long. Jason Mraz was good.

Jason Mraz was GREAT.

Uncageg, I love the new avatar!

Yes, who is that, unca?

I saw parts of it, but I was dozing on and off.

Don't worry, Stockard. You didn't miss much.

Do you not recognize the dashing Norm Lewis, Stockard? (End fangirly threadjack... after this picture...)

No, and I'm not sure who he is, but he's very handsome!

I laughed my ass off at Angelina Jolie on Update! That was worth watching the show for.

The show was okay, but I only watched it for Jason Mraz. Who was great by the way!

Show was a huge disappointment- except for Jason Mraz- he sounded amazing live!

I hate Jason Mraz. He's so douchey.

I loved the edible diaper commercial.

PRS- It's not like I'm a huge Jason Mraz fan- I just love it when the musical guests don't sound studio produced. I thought Jason really pulled off that performance. The edible diapers totally grossed me out! I also thought the Laser Cat digital short was just stupid!

Just as I suspected. When I saw that Steve Martin was going to host, I could only think of two things:

1) Again?!?

2) They are probably going to rehash some of the old jokes that he did from the previous episodes that he hosted.

I'm glad I didn't catch the episode.

I'm just surprised that SNL is not using more of a variety of guests to host. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought John Belushi back from the dead to host! (May he rest in peace.)

It was horrible.
Worst episode I've seen in a while, and SNL's been putting out some clunkers lately. Too much Andy Samberg, I tell you ... he belongs nowhere near comedy...

When the funniest sketch is about a Steve Martin-centric orgy, you know it's a really, really bad day.

Jason Mraz was incredible! I went to his concert in October and he puts on an amazing show.

The rest of the show was insanely boring. I liked the Angelina Jolie part though.

Jason Mraz really was great. He is obviously a very good live performer. I wasn't that big of a fan before even though I have his last album..I am a bigger fan of his now.

I love how most female cast members of SNL can sing, as if it's a requirement to be on the show. I hated that dumb ass crush on Steve Martin sketch, but I could listen to those girls sing for hours.

Speaking of SNL and the Superbowl, did you catch the Pepsuber commercial?

[uncageg]

Well..back on topic (LOL)...Norm is King Triton in The Little Mermaid. I met him while it was trying out in Denver and fell in love with him!

The show was probably one of the worst episodes ever.

I LOVE JASON MRAZ! He's incredible live. I've seen him probably 5 times live. When Steve Martin did his new (horrible and stupid) banjo song, I thought we were only going to get that one performance from JM. I'm glad we got another. His duet with Colbie Caillat is currently one of my favorite songs.

Now that the election is over, you can pretty much bet than this show has returned to its previous state of lameness. Once Tina left, the rest of the writers were exposed to be mediocre at best.

I think that Lorne Michaels is still hoping that Andy Samberg will have another "chronicles of narnia" in him. it doesn't seem to be the case thus far

I think the writing has improved greatly since Tina Fey's departure. I really enjoy 30 Rock, but I'm glad I never have to sit through another one of her smug Weekend Updates, where schoolmarn Fey would chastise us when her stupid jokes didn't land.

Also, I don't get the issue with Steve Martin hosting. He had a movie to promote. What's the big deal?

The closest Andy Samberg has gotten to a hit "Short" latley is "Jizz In My Pants", which was in reality meant to be a music video for "The Lonley Island" and they handed it to Lorne who premired it on the show.
