Franco, yet again... and Muse, yet again.
Hope it's a good one!

Not sure yet how the Winter Olympics will affect SNL's schedule, but here's something I read:
Jon Hamm 
Michael Bublé
Just heard Jon Hamm on Comedy Death Ray radio on indie103.com that he is hosting on Saturday January 30 with musical guest Michael Buble.

I really like the "What Up With That" sketches, but when I saw Mike Tyson on the panel, and saw the look on his face, I wasn't sure if Keenan was going to make it out of that sketch in one piece. I was really shocked at the end to see Tyson 'bustin a move'.

Kissing Family and Digital Short both brought the funny.
Was that a Spider Man 4 spoiler during the monologue?

Classic Digital Short.
I'm glad they didn't let Halloween, Thanksgiving AND Christmas go by without a Vincent Price Special. 4-second asbestos commercial.

I was just happy to finally have a musical guest I gave a shit about seeing. And then to have it be Muse was just complete overkill!

Much better than average episode. The digital short and Vincent Price special sealed the deal for me, not to mention Muse is always amazing.

I thought Franco was a refreshing choice (albeit 2nd time around) as he has lots of comedy in his background. It seemed like Franco had a problem with keeping his saliva-spit in his mouth. A few times he was drooling onto his front when speaking his part.
Liked the family kissing sketch. However, the sketch was surpassed by the one from another show where food was chewed up like a mother bird and dropped it into someone else's mouth (i.e. baby bird). That was taking it to the next level of grossness.
Muse was great (as expected). I keep getting fixated at how much their bass player reminds me of S(caught) Peterson.

"Vincent Price Specials" are always fun.

It's such a flimsy idea for a skit, yet it cracks me up every time. Now I'll have "Ooooowee-ee! what up with that? what up with that?" running through my head the next couple days.
