NiCK Crush · 02-06-10, 01:35 AM

JLO... ugh.

Galifianakis could be good though.

Having only seen TCV's first set so far, I'd give that title to U2. But this is an awesome band and that was a great performance.

popcorn · 02-06-10, 11:40 PM

TCV was definitely the LOUDEST musical guest in a long time. Anyone else have to turn it down a bit?

Drav3n · 02-06-10, 11:41 PM

seeing the "burn notice" skit made me look up the show on wikipedia (since i dont watch, and know nothing about the show) and this is what i saw lol

Yep, and John Paul Jones looks damn good for over 60

Fist of Doom · 02-07-10, 02:23 AM

Pretty "meh" overall, but I did like the Rahm Emanuel skit. What was up with Ashton's Mel Gibson impression? That made no sense.

It looked like he was having a great time. They were the best part of the episode.

Got through til near the end of Weekend Update. Good lord why is SNL so awful these days? They've got a good cast, just horrible writing. So unfunny.

TheKing · 02-07-10, 04:25 AM

Cialis for threeways was pretty funny.

DonTHX1378 · 02-07-10, 04:39 AM

TCV was about the only thing worth watching tonight. I did get a kick out of Weekend Update and the shot they took at Fresno being the drunkest city in the US since I live in Fresno. JLO isn't just hosting also, she is the music guest so I don't think I'll even bother DVRing it.

caligulathegod · 02-07-10, 05:11 AM

Wow, was Abby Elliot smokin' in that first skit or what?

That was so amateur and weak lol.

I think if Dave Grohl hosted he would have been a lot funnier than Kutcher.

Tim Green a former NFL analyst thought Kutcher played for specials teams on the 49ers when the announcers had to do a promo for That 70's show.

BTW did the emperor sketch with the grapes get cut off or censored?

The Bay Area telecast got cut off by a Meg Whitman political ad that aired during that sketch. Not joking.

Timber · 02-07-10, 11:19 AM

Wow, that was all kinds of terrible. No digital short? No Keenan in anything? No funny? When are they going to actually start writing endings to the skits?

Groucho · 02-07-10, 11:22 AM

I liked "What is Burn Notice" and the Rahm Emanuel "apology".

Jimmy James · 02-07-10, 02:38 PM

"What is Burn Notice?" continues the trend of SNL making fun of shows far better than it is.

The last one I remember them having this level of disdain for was Gilmore Girls. I'd guess they have given The Shield and now Sons of Anarchy a pass mostly because they're a little afraid of the people involved.

Rahm was great, too. I don't get them burying those bits at the end, but I'm taking the word of you guys that there seems to be nothing other than those bits, the Cialis one, and TCV worth seeing. My power was out for 38 hours due to ice, so I didn't get to record this.

Yea, these two skits were great.

They actually didn't make fun of the show at all, they just made fun of the fact that despite it's popularity most people can't articulate what the show is.

it is a show airing on USA which is owned by NBC Universal

Why can't Tina Fey host? She hosted way back in Feb 2008.

Anybody but Kutcher or J-Lo. Is this 2001 again and is Sean William Scott next in line to host?

You're right I forgot about Whoopi. I can't stomach Weekend Update anymore so I always FF through that.
