Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 33
I enjoyed last week's more. I'm looking forward to Amy Adams too.

Page had this awkward nervous energy that I found off putting. Her Canadian accent kept coming out too.

Yeah, she would often look like a deer in headlights.
Amy Adams should be awesome next week since she used to do dinner theater!

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 33
I am begginning to think that SNL should have waited a few more weeks before they came back on the air so they could fine-tune the sketeches before they aired. I am sure there was considerably "heat" from the networks to get the show back on the air as soon as possible.

If I understand the process, I don't think waiting would have helped. They spend a week on every episode; no more, no less. I don't think the past two episodes were that bad.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Doubtful. It's more a way of thumbing her nose at the speculators. I imagine if she were interested in sharing the information with the world she would do it in a more matter of fact manner.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 33
I was disappointed with the Amy Adams episode, perhaps because I had high expectations. My main problem with it was that Adams seemed to play alot of straight characters, leaving the comedic roles to the cast. I wonder what it would have been like if Adams had played the fat one in the Mirror Image sketch. Ultimately it wound up being rather dull with the lack of risk taking.

Was Mariah the first musical guest to have the fans blowing out her hair during her performances?

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 33
I almost never watch the musical guests. 95% of the time, I either don't know who they are (I'm old, so the mention of, say, Death Cab For Cutie just makes me go, "huh?") or I hate them. Like, for instance, Mariah. I did notice during the last "waving bye-bye" segment that she has redonkulously fake boobs. Nice. That is, nice in a bad way.
The one skit I will probably watch repeatedly is the Clancy T. Bachleratt and Jackie Snad album commercial. But then again, some of my biggest obsessions are Rocketships, Model T's, toddlers, and jars of beer.

The new woman also has improved. Her first show she was really over the top most of the time - playing for the back row I imagine - but she seems to have picked up a few pointers from Wiig.

I remember the season after Tina Fey left, the show turned into the Amy Poehler Show, as she was in just about every sketch
and Weekend Update to boot. But last night, it felt like it had finally evolved into the Kristen Wiig Show. With Amy Poehler rumored to be leaving after this season, I can see that they're grooming Wiig to take over.

I am not much for Divas but you guys are missing the boat with Mariah - her songs were great and...I am sorry but I don't see how anyone with a pulse (male or female) can't see that she is hawt!

Plus, her new song sounds exactly the same as the last three songs she released.

You should probably stick to AI SAB because this was a stretch by anyone's standards. Not your best work by a long shot. in fact you might be gone next week.

Kristen Wiig is killing me.
Thought I might die laughing at the "Surprise Party" routine. Her energy level is amazing. All that and she's a hotty.

I was glad Wiig didn't cut herself going through through the brittle glass windows not once, but twice.
The Walken reunion was kinda funny as it gave the entire cast (except Casey) a chance to show off their Walken accent).

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 33
I hate that it's got to the point where no one bothers to try to remember their lines anymore (except for the new girl Casey, it seems), so the skits are almost better listened to, than watched.
