Let's hope Ms. Knowles leaves her alter ego (Sasha Fierce) home. I'm just glad that she's not pulling a Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines double-duty stunt.

Paul Rudd should be good.

Next week is going to be interesting... Tim McGraw (Four Christmases) is hosting.

Tim McGraw and Ludacris next week is going to be painful.

Why couldn't they get Vince Vaughn from Four Christmases to host or Reese Witherspoon?


Anyone think Casey Wilson should become the co-host with Seth Meyers for weekend update?


She has not done anything remarkable in her sketches so maybe this could boost her profile?


Seth Meyers going solo is not going to be a pretty thing to watch.

Wow. That is one awful picture of Paul Rudd.

big whoppa

I predict Sasha Fierce and Beyonce will be in da house tonight if she performs the first 2 singles.

CharlieK

A bunch of the short promos put together.

Some of those were pretty god. I like Paul Rudd.

at the disappearing contests!

Ronnie Dobbs

I'm surprised Lorne didn't hire more black castmembers with the Obamas and all. Kenan can only do so much.

NiCK Crush

Tim McGraw? i thought Peter Segal was supposed to be next week?

RichC2

This is the most homoerotic episode ever.

Ronnie Dobbs

terrible digital short. i thought they stopped doing drugs at SNL in the 70s

Axeramm

Timberlake was good during WU.

Larry C.

Beyonce sketch was

JasonF

I thought so too right up until the point where they revealed the painting in the auction house. Then I was rolling. Then again, I thought the Single Ladies video sketch was awesome, so what the hell do I know.

And they will never stop taking drugs at SNL!

Giantrobo

With all the fires here in CA I'm wondering if we'll even get an SNL tonight. Oh well, it's just a tv show and nowhere near as important as people being evacuated and losing their homes.

EDIT: We got it.

mike7162

Ditto. Apparently, man-on-man kissing has replaced the fart as a cheap laugh - getter. It appears the election heat has cooled off faster than I expected.

MrX

The "Single Ladies" video shoot was the highlight of the episode. Timberlake is better then the most of the current cast.

MaxMFP

And so far one of the best.

Giantrobo

Snagglepuss.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, really, you know how far SNL has fallen when you're happy to see Justin Timberlake show up. He's like the only person who's been consistently funny on the show in about twelve years.

I did like the Snagglepuss/Great Gazoo thing, though.

Ronnie Dobbs

I gave up after Weekend Update. Snagglepuss was okay but I don't think I missed anything great.

LorenzoL

The Single Ladies video sketch was great. I thought that JT was staring at Beyonce ass during the dancing segment (not that I blame him).

Ronnie Dobbs

So we don't get any Obama sketches but we get Biden ones?

Groucho

Highlight of the show was Justin Timberlake on Weekend Update.

Great thing they hired those new cast members and made a huge deal about it -- and then gave them hardly any lines, and nothing funny to do.
