Saturday Night Live


FYI - Steve Carell is the host this week.

I watched a few shows this season for the first time in several years. It seems to be getting a little better. Carell should be great.

John McCain was really funny. If you didn't watch the show on saturday I would recommend finding his two skits on youtube or somewhere.

The McCain stuff was funny, yes.. that was by far the best part of the show.

I haven't seen an episode of SNL in a good 3 years because that show had gotten so terrible. When I read this and saw Steve Carrel hosting, I figured what the hell, and I DVR'ed it.

I can honestly say, SNL is still one of the worst shows on TV. The McCain sketches were the only things that made me laugh, the rest of the show was absolutely awful. I'll never understand how SNL has been on as long as it has, it's just such an awful show.

McCain - Funny

Deal or No Deal - Moderately funny.

Usher - 2nd performance was good.

Rest of show - Garbage.

Anyone have the episode that Jim Carey hosted? Best one ever IMO.

The opening skit with the names has been done by them in different variations three or four times now.
How many times are they going to pull out "whose Dick Hertz" card?

Exactly, I haven't even watched the show in 3 years, and I still said "oh, this again?"

I got halfway through the recording and just hit erase, it was awful. I also don't like Usher, so that sucked for me too.

Have it on tape. It was the season finale in '95-96. Fantastic episode.

The weekend update is usually worth watching.

Oh.... and the CPR scene near the end where Steve collapses the chest of the guy he is performing CPR on was just downright crude.

I can't believe that a group of at least 15 writers sat in a room and said..... "Hey, I got this idea to have a CPR training seminar go so horribly wrong that blood shoots out of the chest of the trainee. Then.... the big laugh is the trainer has to lock lips with the guy who now is covered in fake blood." "And the more blood the better!"

Group of Writers - "That sounds great!!!!"

People should be fired for that.

Really, you think so?

I DVR'ed this weeks episode, and when watching it back, I got halfway through Weekend Update and said "Why am I watching this crap?" That was the point where I just hit erase and watched something else. I thought the update (with the exception of the McCain bit) was awful and boring.

Maybe I'm just an SNL hater.

Maybe it just seems good compared to the rest of the show.

I love the MacGruber promos.

The thing about SNL is it is a show made for the DVR. Half the skits are pretty much crap but every episode has at least one sketch fairly amusing and every now and again there is something that is just hilarious. Dick in a Box still makes me laugh and there are few other sketches that get to me too.
