Tonight we get Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover) and Paul Simon (I bet that MrSmearkase has no idea who he is):

Fredward & Edward...


Paul is missing!...

Who's Paul Simon?

JeffTheAlpaca

Strange NBC usually shows this promos during Leno & Fallon but the last 2 weeks they have not aired except for the Tina Fey pregnant with an alien and Helms this week playing the piano.

chowderhead

The Office, Hangover 2, the Toy Story 3 win and now a SNL appearance - what a year for Lee Unkrich.

redrum

that's not paul simon, that's a hobbit

DGibFen

Wow, an Ambiguously Gay Duo cartoon... been a while.

anomynous

So Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, and Stephen Colbert? Anybody else in the live action Ambiguously Gay sketch?

DGibFen

Steve Carell was the brain guy; Ed Helms was the Two-Face-esque character.

Throwing Copper

That sketch was about the only funny thing so far in the show. I haven't been paying real close attention though.

Ed Helms doesn't have what it takes to host a show like this. That should be quite obvious to everyone watching.

cam16

Especially since we're an hour in and this is only his second live sketch.

JasonF

I'm always impressed with the timing on the song memories sketch. That seems like it would be difficult to do live.

Throwing Copper

If these are the sketches that actually make the show, I can't imagine what kind of bullshit doesn't make the final cut.

Pretty good show last week with Tina Fey, and what is destined to be great next week with Justin Timberlake.

Helms is a bit player. I hope they don't have him back to host again.

windom

No comments on finally getting the real Lindsey Buckingham on What's Up With That? I kept thinking it would be great for him to actually make an appearance but didn't think it would actually happen. He should have been the musical guest too but I guess that would have ruined the surprise.

I always get Ed Helms and Jason Sudeikis confused with each other so it's weird seeing them in a sketch next to each other.

Edit: Just finished the show...Justin Bartha from The Hangover might have been a better choice for host. Actually Ken Jeong would be a great choice to host plus he's on NBC's Community. Seems like a no brainer.

Throwing Copper

I agree with this. I've only seen Community maybe 5 or 6 times ever, but I have enjoyed the show and Jeong when I've seen it.

Bill Needle

What's Up With That was good (another Lindsey Buckingham!), and AmbGayDuo was kind of creative and funny. The only other shout out I can give is to the Ann-Margret sketch...not because it was all that great, but because I have very fond memories of her from when I was a young lad. Aside from that, it felt like Ed Helms was utterly wasted. The low point was the stupid WU singer bit, as excruciatingly unfunny as ever. And black dude, if the only thing you bring to the show is a Will Smith impersonation, it is not enough just to sound like him - you need to have something funny to say. You have three months between appearances on the show to come up with something, so no excuses.

skatefan20

Loved it - it was so random, but Kristen Wiig looked more like Amy Adams in that red wig


Agree Ed Helms was wasted.

TheKing

What a great way to bring back Ace and Gary. When they said we were getting a Smigel cartoon, I was hoping for the Duo, and I'm glad I didn't get shafted. Brilliant work, just all around a great way to bring back a classic and make it feel fresh and somewhat innovative.

Great to see the real Lindsey Buckingham show up on What's Up With That. That was long overdue.

tavarua88

shafted you say?

Drav3n

Was that the same exact "high fructose corn syrup" bit they played a few weeks ago?? The only part I found to be funny was the Gay Duo skit, otherwise this was a pretty bad episode. The skits felt awfully longer than normal. Is Jay Pharoh only there to do impressions?

NiCK Crush

Aziz Ansari or Nick Offerman need to host an episode next season. Also, Jimmy Fallon should host the season premiere.

MrSmearkase

/\ Agreed on all three names

windom

Actually, I think any of the people on Community would be good hosts. Except for that old guy who plays Pierce. I don't think he would ever fit in on a show like SNL.

misterchimpy

Fred Armisen was the lizard guy. Funny they misspelled Jon Hamm's(John) name in the credits. I thought Hamm and Fallon were fine, but I still would have preferred Colbert and Carell in the live version. They probably got a kick out of playing the villains though!

vaporware

OK, I lol'd

Mr. Cinema

Am I the only one who hates the What Up With That sketch? It just goes on and on and on and on. And Helms' cameo was wasted.
