I don't mind Jonah. Not sure exactly who Bastille is though.

I'm assuming they're french. Maybe french-canadian.

Damn. Just looked it up, and they're british. I was close...

The benihana skit gets even better when in context with what Donnie (Jonah Hill's character) says in The Wolf of Wall Street :P

Think SNL will get called out for using Yellowface in the Benihana sketch?

the dinner party bathroom skit with Jonah had me howling. "Me" was creepy and hilarious. Leo and Jonah doing Titanic was pretty awesome.

However,

the digital shorts they've been doing with the new guys near the end of each show have been uniformly awful, across the board. Akiva, Jorma and Samberg are really missed in that regard.

The porn star sketch is getting old and it seems like they do that on every episode.

Will Forte should get a SNL hosting gig since Nebraska got several Oscar nominations.

Monologue was great. The rest, not so much.

Well, I thought the show was hilarious. The digital short was just o.k. though.

On the plus side, I think Vanessa Bayer might have been the first person to say 'rimjob' on network television.

I lol'd a lot. My usual SNL viewing leaves me smirking a few times. Plenty of very funny stuff in this episode.

I thought the digital short was pretty great too.

So, last week it was Drake (again) and this week was Jonah Hill (again) and next week it's Melissa McCarthy (again). Saturday Night live has such a way of infusing itself with new blood.

/\ I think this is a pretty good run of hosts. They can come back as often as they like if they are as talented as those three.

The writers, on the other hand...

  1. I hate you. The porn stars are my favorite reoccurring sketch currently going.
  2. This is only the second time they've done the porn star sketch this season. Last time was with Tina Fey on the season premiere.

There okay as guests go. I just wish SNL would bring in some out of left field newbies for variety's sake instead of getting Justin Timberlake for the billionth time. I'd love to see Kevin Smith or George Takei as guests hosts, I think they could pull it off.

I'm a Kevin Smith fan, but even I know that he would be fucking horrible. Takei wouldn't be much better.

They are both great personalities, but that does not mean that they would be great performers.

I would still posit that either would be better than some famous athlete that SNL taps.

I really enjoyed the abusive horse skit. I was rolling when it headbutted Hill in the face.
