Don't worry, the Secret Service is probably on the ball and Max has already been deemed a security threat.

Umm Palin was not funny. Wahlberg was funnier.

Double_Oh_7 · 10-18-08, 10:40 PM

Well, that could have been a whole lot better. Disappointing.

Ronnie Dobbs · 10-18-08, 10:41 PM

brolin is the least interesting celebrity in hollywood

Adboy151 · 10-18-08, 10:41 PM

Wahlberg definitely was the highlight.

MrX · 10-18-08, 10:46 PM

Brolin's monologue was just painful to watch.

Double_Oh_7 · 10-18-08, 10:47 PM

God this show sucks. I'm going to bed.

She's had a scar there since childhood. She refuses to talk about how it occured.

Ronnie Dobbs · 10-18-08, 10:53 PM

who was the best SNL politico host/cameo? Nader and Al Gore were pretty good i think

Brent L · 10-18-08, 10:56 PM

If you ask me, Kristin Wigg has gotta be the most talented SNL cast member given the worst material of all time.

This show has been horrible since the cold opening. The monologue was too heavy handed, and these first two sketches have been like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Not to mention the fact that Brolin chose not to wear a belt with the suit he wore in the monologue.

Tsk tsk.

(Oh, and yes, the show is terrible.)

Snowmaker · 10-18-08, 10:59 PM

Now that was classic with Marky Mark

TheBigDave · 10-18-08, 11:03 PM

Man, this stuff is horrible.

I watched almost every episode of this show for 20+ years. I stopped about 1-2 years ago when I thought it had reached the bottom. But this is so much worse.

Someone needs to take this show out back and put it out of it's misery.

Will Forte brings the snooze again.

Holy crap, this weekend update bit is great.

Say this for Amy Poehler, when she goes for it, she goes all out.

Brent L · 10-18-08, 11:38 PM

That was just about my favorite thing on SNL in a very long time.

stingermck · 10-18-08, 11:54 PM

If Palin wouldve sang that song, I wouldve passed out from laughter

Brent L · 10-18-08, 11:56 PM

True, but seeing her "raise the roof" as Amy performed it was still pretty good.

scott1598 · 10-19-08, 12:32 AM

the whole opening wit Palin was a wasted effort. i would have liked to see something like Amy's Hillary and Hillary together at the same time. this was weak and they just totally made her look like an ass, which i am all for, but at least do it in a funny way. for some reason this just seemed mean.

why can't the show at least go back to the beginning and rewrite skits from the classic shows. they do it in movies all the time. just go back to what was funny and do a fresh take because coming up with the new stuff is NOT WORKING!
