SNL 11/11/06 - (H) Alec Baldwin (M) Christina Aguilera

Goldberg74 · 11-10-06, 10:30 PM

Alec Baldwin makes his 13th appearance as host of SNL (only one more to top Steve Martin).

I loved the promo with Mya Rudolph where he said that the difference between SNL and 30 Rock was a lot more money.

... we so need a Zinger vs. Burns skit!

I went back and tallied all of the 'recaps' and here's the responders by completion. After this week's ep, I'll post a thread about the reviewers and we'll narrow it down. Right now we have had 13 different people post their views, but only 5 are at 100%, 2 at 75%, and 2 at 50%:

Code:

... a note to lotsofdvds... I've made a guess as to your score using UPs and Downs, but we were looking for a letter grade, not a Pass/Fail.

I think I missed something..

wmansir · 11-11-06, 08:26 AM

Alternative to the 'Charlie-Goose-O-Meter' on SNL this year...

You can take my name out of the running. I was just doing it for fun because those two episodes were one of the few times I've watched the show in the last few years. I certainly won't be a reliable source for reviews.

Rogue588 · 11-11-06, 02:18 PM

Ohhhhhh...well, that explains it. This happened during my "lost time" in California...

Detective Thorn · 11-11-06, 11:36 PM

I am generally not a fan of Alec Baldwin, but it seems like he is always great on SNL. I have (relatively) high hopes for this one.

Patman · 11-11-06, 11:38 PM

Rachel Dratch is getting the short-shrift on the monologue.

The Infidel · 11-11-06, 11:42 PM

Is it just me, or did Amy look like Beverly D'Angelo in that dating website skit?

Rogue588 · 11-11-06, 11:46 PM

I was trying not to pay attention to her. Like some have previously mentioned, she's grating my nerves..

The Infidel · 11-11-06, 11:57 PM

"Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother."

Talk about sig material!

Patman · 11-11-06, 11:57 PM

The carpool skit was hilarious.

I agree.I laughed more during that skit than the entire season so far

Shazam · 11-12-06, 12:06 AM

Wow. These skits don't suck.

The Infidel · 11-12-06, 12:07 AM

Martin Short looking into the camera as he dips his fingers into the scotch and takes them away..."sad".

Why do they even need the rest of the cast tonight?

Rockmjd23 · 11-12-06, 12:10 AM

Aww, I was hoping for slutty Christina, not wannabe jazz Christina.

neiname · 11-12-06, 12:12 AM

Hilarious so far

The Infidel · 11-12-06, 12:13 AM

I was hoping a good singer like Christina wouldn't have to lip-sync, buuuuut.....

RichC2 · 11-12-06, 12:15 AM

Oh she definitely didn't lip-sync, but the backup track was definitely on the loud side.

Shazam · 11-12-06, 12:16 AM

First weekend update joke was hilarious.

zooiiks · 11-12-06, 12:17 AM

Didn't they do pretty much the same skit when Tom Hanks joined the 5-timers club? Jon Lovitz had Martin Short's role? Guess there was no attempted murder in that one.

The carpool sketch was the funniest one they've done in I don't know how long

mikehunt · 11-12-06, 12:46 AM

hmm, wish I had known I would have watched
baldwin is usually good on snl

I haven't watched all season, lately I've been going to bed earlier

RichC2 · 11-12-06, 12:49 AM

Aguilera looks like she'd be right at home in a batman movie with that lipstick.

In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.
