Saturday Night Live - Season 34 (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Film]

I don't watch the show anymore. To many commercials for very little comedy.

 

[AnthonyC]

I loved NPH (except for the lame Air Traffic Controller sketch) but tonight's is painful. Worst episode of the season, although Rosario's a better host than Michael Phelps (not really fair since a blade of grass would've been a better host than Phelps).

 

[Greg.K]

The show was bad. Patricia Wigg is a standout, but they're starting to overuse her. Please, I beg you, don't make "Gilly" a regular sketch.

I liked the Aladdin sketch, and La Policia Mexicana was somewhat funny but went on a little long.

Seth Meyer needs a cohost on Weekend Update. He's ok but it's not that good with just him.

& If they really don't have a good idea for a Digital Short, they should just not have one.

 

[Josh Dial]

I loved the absurdity of this week's

 

[teapot2001]

The Mexican police one was good, but that's about it. Bad bad show this week. I've liked Wiig a lot, but lately she's been appearing way too much and her characters haven't been good.

The band was great, though.

Pretty disappointing show this week, (save for "Gillie") or whatever her name was.

But I just came across this pic. and went "DAAAAAAMN!" and had to share!

Has anyone been watching SNL lately? The shows with Brad Whitford and Bradley Cooper were pretty bad, but I'm hoping next week's show with Alec Baldwin will be funny.

 

[Josh Dial]

When was Bradley Whitford the host? I've watched every episode this season (at least, I thought I had), and don't recall him

 

[xfile94]

It was last week? or week before. It wasn't memorable at all-- I'm almost sure of this. Maybe it was Bradley Cooper I was thinking of. Sorry if I said something untrue,

 

[Hanson]

No, Bradley Whitford did not host this season (or any other season I'm aware of). But I also confused the names and thought it was Whitford when they announced that Bradley Cooper was hosting. Like, I've seen Cooper in movies and TV shows (like Kitchen Confidential), but I don't know him by name.

There were a few okay sketches (Today with Hoda and Kathy Lee is a solid sketch so far), but nothing really memorably funny. I guess it was to cleanse the palate between Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

 

[Jon Martin]

Although did anyone see Steve Martin's episode? As much as I love him, it was one of the weakest shows of the season. When his musical performance is the best thing about the show, that is saying something.

 

[John_Lee]

It wasn't high art, but the NY governor bit on the News cracked me the eff up.

 

[DrBenway]

So the show hosted by the guy I've never heard of is much better than the one hosted by Steve Martin. Seth is more confident on the news and he managed a good Really?! on his own. Wiig is a genius but I would like to see more of the other gals.

 

[Citizen87645]

What was up with the Baldwin episode? Only sketch I laughed at was the Wii and then there must have been some timing issues to run three previously used commercial spoofs.

 

[DrBenway]

No classics but I enjoyed it overall. Michaela Watkins is coming to the fore and she gave snarky bloggers a taste of their own. The Vincent Price special was well done but I remember who those people are. The Wii bit was rather MADTV for anyone who misses that show. I thought the Jonas Brothers acting was better than their music but I'm not a 14 year old girl. (Excepting MySpace of course.)

 

[todd s]

I come from a mixed marriage. I am a Repub and my wife is a Dem. We both thought that skit about the Repub congressman was not funny. And its not because I am a Repub...I enjoyed the Tina Fay/Palin skits.

 

[Henry Gale]

I really wanted that skit to be funny. Sadly it just wasn't.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

The only skit that I really liked a lot was the Vincent Price bit, although the early-'80s Jonases in the Digital Short cracked me up.

(Can you tell I'm not in my 20s anymore? )

 

[xfile94]

Did anyone like The Rock last night? I thought he was pretty funny, especially the Obama/Incredible Hulk sketch. Why was Jessica Biel on Weekend Update ?

 

[pitchman]

She was supposed to be Jessica Rabbit, who (according to the WU story) was recently voted "the sexiest female cartoon character of all time." Justin Timberlake also appeared in the same piece as a nerdy fanboy.
