I assume Foster the People will be playing Pumped Up Kicks and Helena Beat, no complaints though, kind of like them.

I'm a bit surprised this is only the second time in 13 years Ben Stiller has hosted.

I don't know if that's just how he is, but Stiller doesn't seem very happy to be there. But then again, he is there to promote Tower Heist directed by Brett Ratner.

The local NBC news teased a cameo tonight by

Eddie Murphy
I have to admit I'll be shocked if it happens.

He hasn't been on the show since he was a cast member and hasn't participated in any of the reunions or retrospectives.

Foster The People proving white people can't dance, even to their own music.

Foster the People? Didn't Tracy Morgan and Jimmy Fallon do this sketch in the 90's?

So, did the big cameo happen? I have it on DVR and have not watched yet.

Unless I skipped it, that didn't happen; there was a different cameo though.

Re: SNL 10/08/11 - H: Ben Stiller - MG: Foster The People

And I'm curious, did the audience even recognize the cameo? I didn't until he showed up at the end, I was going "Where the heck was he? Did I miss him?" and then went "Well if he was going to show up, he'd be in that certain sketch........" and then went "Wait he was Radcliffe?"

Being obscure in case people haven't seen the episode yet.

Re: SNL 10/08/11 - H: Ben Stiller - MG: Foster The People

Anyone else pause and watch the end of the Fox And Friends sketch in slo mo to read the corrections?

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but the first correction was incorrect.

The second President Of The United States was John Quincy Adams, not Samuel Adams Summer Ale.

Of course the second president was John Adams. J.Q. Adams was 6th.

The Stefan segments are always the best parts of SNL.

A lot of Kristen Wigg's characters got old the first time they were played. Then again, same can be said for a lot of others that got multiple sketches from other players.

Just caught it as well. The guy was completely disguised and only recognizable with a repeat viewing, which actually made the sketch a funnier. I could tell he wasn't recognized by many of the audience members.

EDIT: Was that someone famous playing the store clerk Gwen in the Digitial Short? I know they like to sneak celebrities into those bits. I think it might have been someone, but I don't want to say who before finding out if it was a cast member.

I only heard the first Foster The People song. I liked the music, but hated the guy's voice. And their Sprockets-like stage persona was obnoxious.

Kinda surprised the second song ended up being "Houdini" (also thought it would end up being the two you mentioned), but no complaints since it's my favorite on the album...well, the original version of the song minus the Kenny G solo

The Kenny G solo was awesome, a nice little surprise at the end.

I was hoping for Helena Beat


Samberg got more screen time which is good. Nobody laughs when Abbie Elliot appears.


I heard this will be Kristen Wiigs final season. The 7 year national nightmare will be ending soon.
