"No kidding. It nearly ruined Miss Saigon for me. After Kim shot herself, I couldn't stop laughing when Ellen ran onstage."

see, i laughed for a different reason. at the production i went to, after kim shot herself, the little kid came running on the stage yelling "i got the bullets!" a la jimmy dean.

good times.

Wiig is brilliant at impersonations, but her original characters blow.

"What happened to Tim Kazurinsky?



who cares? "


Aw, I loved the skit when he married the monkey. That was on the episode when Buckwheat got shot (MY personal favorite cast era ever).

The only funny skit I've seen recently was the vincent price thanksgiving. Wiig was wonderful as Judy and that other guy did a great price...neither has impressed me again, however.

Rosanne Connor on her way to NY:

"Then I'm going to go over to Saturday Night Live and see if they've figured out how to end their skits!"

what i've always wondered is why stars keep doing the show if it's as bad as everyone thinks it is. sure, it's good exposure, i guess but there has to be more to it than that.

...and you have a perfect setting to make a huge ass of yourself.

I love when someone is exposed as a terrible performer.

They usually do it because they're promoting something. Simple math, Elvis.

here's a great article in variety about the recent changes.

After months of speculation, Lorne Michaels has confirmed the departure of several "Saturday Night Live" stalwarts -- including Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell.
NBC's latenight franchise will begin its 32nd season Sept. 30 with just 11 regular players -- down nearly one-third from last year's cast of 16, and one of the smallest ensembles in recent memories.

In addition, helmer Beth McCarthy Miller, who has been the show's director since 1995, is leaving and will be replaced by live TV vet Don Roy King.

Also gone: Finesse Mitchell, a standup comic who had been with the show for three seasons.

they could be contracted to make those appearances. especially if they are doing something on NBC.

Could be just what this show needs.
