Oh please. Seeing his name I had no idea who he was. Seeing him on the commercial I recognized him but sorry he's not memorable that I know who he is by name alone.

Yeah, I saw "Twilight" and "New Moon" just a couple weeks ago. I knew Taylor's face and I knew someone named "Taylor Lautner" was hosting SNL. But until I saw the face and name TOGETHER a few days before the show was to air and realized who he was I was in the dark too. I didn't really seek out the name of the kid with the abs after the films ended.

The point is it's totally possible to do what some of us did. Especially if we have lives outside of following pop culture 24/7.

Well... maybe you know him by his other roles...

Sharkboy from The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D...



or...

Jack Spivey from "My Own Worst Enemy" (Christian Slater's son on the show, on the right)...

It didn't occur to me that he was the werewolf in Twilight until the sketch where he played the "Edward Girl."

Mr. Burns: Rin-go?
Smithers: He was the drummer for a rock and roll combo called the Beatles.
Mr. Burns: Beatles, eh? Oh yes, I seem to remember their off-key caterwauling on the old Sullivan Show. What was Ed thinking?

Is there a rock band out there cheesier than Bon Jovi? At least they're sincere about their cheese.

"Sincere Cheese" would make for a good band name.

So we had a home run episode last week but this one completely sucked. I guess one good episode a season is all they're budgeted for.

Nobody liked Billy Smith the Native American comic LOL?

Blake Lively I only know from the movie "Accepted" because I went out of my way to find out who that nice hot young piece of ass was.
Same here. I do my research when I see a hot chic on TV or in a movie lol.


I don't hate Bon Jovi but what makes them different from the other 80's hair band where their career is still going strong and the others aren't?

I don't think that I liked one single sketch in this episode.

Well, I've known who all the hosts and musical guests were this year except for January Jones. I've known them all by name and sight.

As for Twilight boy's episode here... not really good. I think I chuckled a few times. One should note he is third string when you think of Twilight anyway-- the main stars are Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (girl lead and vampire).

My favorite so far was probably the Joseph Gordon-Levitt episode (whom I did know from Third Rock from the Sun, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 500 Days of Summer).

I just watched part of the monologue. I cant believe they're still making fun of the vmas/Kanye West incident. It was funny the first week. What is this two months now? Guess they're running out of original material.

That guy who hosted the show this week is the boyfriend of Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift is the female singer that Kanye West interrupted at the VMAs.

"VMAs" is an abbreviation for the Video Music Awards, which are handed out by MTV.

MTV is a basic cable channel that used to show a lot of music videos.

And Taylor Lautner was on stage when the Kanye West thing happened.

Add me as another person who did not know who Taylor Lautner was. However, I did know Ryan Reynolds so that definitely takes the "cool" card away.

Good call on this one, even though it turned out to be just a one-liner in the monologue instead of a full sketch.

Highest rated SNL of the season

Apparently, people knew who he is as this was the highest rated episode of the season. Maybe the Twilight fans tuned in but the show just keeps going on and on despite it being only occasionally funny.

Opening acrobatics were kinda cool, but the rest of the episode blew.

Just shows much the show has declined since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler left.
