Hey! NPH wouldnt do that!

who are 'fleet foxes'?
anyone know who the musical guest is

Would love to see a 'Doogie Hauser' skit.

Why is this a spoiler? It was mentioned on E! like a week ago. The rumor though is the MG will be Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Also, Jimmy Fallon is hosting the last SNL in February before he takes over Late Night according to a few blogs.

Why is this a secret?

I heard spoiler will be the host and musical guest on the 31st of January though he probably won't be half as funny as his guest stint on 30 Rock last Nov.


This weeks episode will be the first official episode without Amy Poehler in the cast.

Who will replace her on Weekend Update?

Casey Wilson?

this would be the perfect week to bring back the X Presidents with Obama, Bush, Dubya, Clinton, and Carter.

I spoilered it so that people wouldn't complain.

Guess I can't win either way.

Looking forward to this one. NPH is pure gold and I love me some Taylor Swift.

I'm not complaining, just thought I was missing something...

Can't wait to see NPH with this tonight. Should be great.

Me too!

Fleet Foxes is great, though I'm surprised to see them on SNL (very mellow):

"I'll be sitting here like a Dutch boy with his finger stuck in a dike, sound familiar Kyle McLaughlin"

Was that Nataile Portman in the opening skit?

Loved the Digital Short. Classic.

Penelope... not so much.

No, it was the new girl... Something Elliot.

Did Taylor Swift sound really thin/weak for her first performance?

Casey Wilson gets fatter each episode

Yes. I thought she was terrible. But I'm not a Taylor Swift fan

Loved the Doogie skit with the whole orchestra lol the rest is mediocre thus far.

The Digital Short was good and I liked the Broadway character skit. The today show and skit where NPH played a woman were awful.

Can I say it?
Did you check with the censors or are you just saying that?
Can we switch over to HBO for a second?

I won't be surprised when people complain about this episode but - well, ok. Fine. I will be surprised.

Probably the best episode I've seen on SNL in years.

I enjoyed it for the most part, and that's all I ask for.

I think they now have a great, solid cast, and all that needs to be done now is for the writing to be tightened up to really be back on track.

I'd give it a B-

There were several good skits, but a couple of real stinkers in there as well.
