Weekly SNL thread — Page 9

The Little Brothers skit last night was brilliant.

Rhianna refuse to do it. She also refused to do dress rehearsal.

Well it was mocking that he knew nothing about New York or anything to do with it ( Broadway, restaurants,etc.).

I agree it was what they originally were reacting against, but then they found the value in returning sketches, the occasional crack-up, and now celeb cameos. I don't mind them, because they remind the world that SNL is an institution.

^Kad- that one was a CLASSIC! I was watching that night and absolutely loved it!

"But seriously, SNL, enough with the damn celebrity "surprise guests". It's a cheap way to get a false reaction from the audience and is exactly the kind of Carol Burnett-type stunt that SNL was originally reacting against. Stop"

Ironically when I was making a drive back from New York, I went back into Julie Klausner's podcast with Mike Sacks about pet peeves and this came up because for Sacks, SNL was established as above that and how it is so PR coordinated. The Streisand walk-on holds up well imo, since I still get a chuckle out of it despite just knowing about it than actually watching it when it happened.

I thought Eli did good. Little Brothers sketch may go over the head of non-football fans, but there is still this issue with him vs. Peyton in the eyes of football talking heads that at this point is exhausting, grasping at straws.

Glad people now know how goofy-awkward he truly is and that he is also game for anything. Surprised they did not play up Taran Killam as Tebow beyond the motion capture stuff. Since he's new to New York it felt like it could have been monologue material.

I really enjoyed having Ferrell back as host last week and it was also great to see Ana Gasteyer again. However, I was disappointed that they did not do 'Celebrity Jeopardy'. I'm looking forward to seeing how Mick Jagger does as host tomorrow.

The Ferrell episode started off so strong but decline FAST. For what's been a particularly strong season, this was one of the worst episodes in recent memory.

What?! I did not know this was Kristen's last show. Damn! Although, I am not surprised. She has been on the show for years and can easily do film and move on to other projects. Still, I hate seeing cast members I have grown to love leave the show.

Anyone know where I can get the sheet music to "Dammit, Pam"?

I hope he gives us one more Stefon and Alan Alda.

Don't be surprized if Jason remains on until early Nov.
