Wasn't he dating Cameron Diaz when she was still hot & juicy?

I also loved Hader's Stefon's Donald Duck impression

Stefon's Donald Duck Awakening From A Viet Nam Dream was a joy to behold.

I thought this was the least interesting of Timberlake's hosting gigs -- the sketches weren't terribly interesting, that Maine/Louisiana sketch just landed with a thud, and the inevitable "Bring It On Down To (Blank)ville!" sketch felt stale for the first time.

Still, he's a treat to watch.

Did someone say "celebrate?"

The problem with the Maine/Louisiana sketch is they didn't make it clear that Acadians (Cajuns) first emigrated from France to Nova Scotia then to Maine and then to Louisiana (and there are still Acadian descendants living in Maine). The only people who "got" the sketch are people who live in Maine and Louisiana.

BTW - the best line of the night was the "oral" throw away.

Had me laughing my behind off.

She is amazing.

Cecily Strong is brilliant! I find her funnier than I ever found Kristen Wiig.

"Cecily Strong is brilliant! I find her funnier than I ever found Kristen Wiig."

I agree TOM1071. when Wiig first started i loved her but then she started relying on annoying characters with facial and vocal tics. Cecily seems well rounded

I think Kate and Cecily are slightly stronger than Vanessa and Nassim

I want more Adrianna Huffington! That was the best thing I've seen in a long time.

Allow me to join the chorus of praise for Cecily!

"Did you get that at Tiffany's?"
"Close! I got it from my vagina!"

Random question re Vanessa - is the Bar Mitzvah boy a recurring character, or was it just that once last week (or the week before, I forget).

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 3/11/13 at 5:00pm

It's a recurring character. And one of my favorites.

thanks Jordan. I couldn't be happier!

There was a bit with Jonah the Bar Mitzvah boy this week on update but it was cut after dress.

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/11/13 at 5:19pm

Well that's not good, SNAFU, unless it was only cut for time reasons.

Why You Need to Stop Complaining About SNL’s Recurring Characters

[SNAFU]

Posted: 3/11/13 at 6:00pm

Sue you crotch waffle go away!

Jane, who knows why? Perhaps it wasn't funny enough, perhaps it was for time. Dare I say politics? Who knows? That character can show up anytime Dress ran well over two hours. They cut Dan Ackroyd from Main Justice, Caligula sketch was cut to shreds after Standards and Practices got on their case. It was pretty raunchy during dress!

SNAFU, you'll appreciate this. One sketch I was in was actually going on during the actual show. Suddenly I felt someone tugging at my pants at the ankle. I looked down, and saw a PA pulling some of us off stage right at that moment! Lorne decided to change the sketch while it was being performed. the PA's were on the floor pulling us off. oy!

[SNAFU]

Posted: 3/11/13 at 7:05pm

Yeah Jane I hear ya. In this week's show Dan was supposed to come into the Maine Justice court dressed in weird Cajun/voodoo get up and speak a bunch of pigeon French and that was our cue to come in with the gator. Well they cut him between dress and air and didn't tell us. We were in a panic and just sort of had to guess when to come up. We were a half of beat off. You know the most important thing in Com-is timing-dey.

Dame whatever you want it to mean!

SNAFU, all kidding aside, to watch the crew and the entire support team on that live show, all moving in perfect sync in geat neck speed and getting it perfectly right is awe inspiring. I have so much respect for what they/you do.
