I have the episode on Tivo and I'll watch it later, but I just read some news on Entertainment Weekly and I cannot wait for this.

Martin Short was a perfect Larry David! I conked out early, though, and missed most of the show. Did Ed Grimley or Nathan Thurm make an appearance?

There was a brief flash of Ed Grimley in the opening monologue. Short didn't really want to do him because he thinks people think thats all he does.

Yes. Best show this season.

this further proves my hopes and wishes for a 40th anniversary alumni revolving door weekly cast idea .

it would be amazing to have a roster change up every week made up of past alumni.

and forget calling in all these 'personalities' with no talent to come and host the show.

Blue - I saw a bit of Grimley in the "What's up with that" skit, at the end when they were all dancing!

Also -- I think this may be the first time that the F-bomb has been audibly spoken on network television in, what, a decade?

Jenny Slate accidentally let one slip during her first appearance in 2009.

DId Jenny SLate get cut because of that?
I don't remember seeing her much after that incident.

No, she was on the entire season.

I've had a chance to watch my recording of it, and have to say that the opening played even more beautifully on TV, because of the beautiful camera work with the candle.

Congrats to them for getting it right.

I've been fortunate to have been able to attend the show many times over the years. Last night was a true standout.

Paul's second song was the perfect Helter Skelter/Nirvana mash-up. He should tour with those guys in a Nirvana tribute show.

I was out of the room last night and missed the opening, but my husband told me about it. I just now watched it on the SNL site. So very fitting, from the children's choir, to the verses chosen.

I had the great pleasure of being Addy's guest at SNL on Saturday. From the Silent Night tribute, to You're a Rat Bastard Charlie Brown, to the F bomb drop, it was all perfect (well, except maybe the Restoration Hardware sketch). And, Paul McCartney sang me a birthday song!!!!! Just to me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Here's a sketch they axed after Dress Rehearsal. It has Patricia Clarkson!

I know there was a thread for tonight's show, but I am going to go ahead and post here. I am enjoying Jennifer Lawrence. The opening was funny, her monologue was clever about the other four Oscar nominees, and I have so far enjoyed the first three sketches, especially 'The Hunger Games' one. 'The Hobbit' commercial was comical as well.

After coming off one of the best episodes in a VERY long time (Martin Short/ Paul McCartney), this was really disappointed me. A few chuckles, but nothing great. Looking forward to Adam Levine next week, think he could be very similar to Timberlake which would be great!!

This episode is a dud. Lawrence could have been MUCH funnier in that "rude waitress" diner sketch. I don't know why she chose to dead-pan it. Would have been funnier if she was more eccentric.

In every sketch she's been in, she's had the same low-level, even-toned energy. Wish she would have chosen to go outside the box.

Seems like the writers tried to blend her in as best they could, too. This was especially apparent in the "cool kids" sketch where she played the laid-back emo stereotype.

I've seen Lawrence in a lot of press interviews recently, and I can tell that this "energy" that I speak of is just who she is. You can see it in her film work, too. I do think she is an exceptional actress, but it doesn't seem that eccentric, high-energy characters are her thing. SNL was maybe a bad choice for her (though I understand why she did it).

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I thought dead-panning the waitress sketch was the point, to show contrast.

Wynbish - that's certainly one way to do the character, and the result was still humor. Imagine that sketch, however, with that character played by SNL's last host, Martin Short. He would have done that sketch so in-your-face and over-the-top. I can see him now screaming "I HATE YOUR ROTTEN GUTS!!"

I'm enjoying this episode. At first I did not think Adam was given much to work with but as the show has progressed he showed that he had a very good sense of humor.

Adam Levine shirtless was the best way to start the show. YUM.

"Sopranos Diaries" was hilarious.

After being completely unimpressed with Circle Work, I could not stop myself from guffawing at the fireman sketch. Something about Bill Hader makes me trust where he's coming from with a character like that.
