Justin: "Hi, I'm Justin Timberlake and I'm the host and musical guest on SNL this week."

Amy: "And I'm Amy Poehler-Timberlake."

Justin: "You do know that that restraining order is still in effect?"

Justin: "Ten feet."

MrX

Hope the rumor is true

LorenzoL

All of the shows with the exception of the Alec Baldwin one has been horrible to say the least. I expect that trend to continue tonight.

pinata242

I think the first part of that rumor is a given... The second my wife is really hoping for.

Goldberg74,

I haven't been able to review the last two for a variety of reasons and may not be able to do this one in a timely manner either. When I can get to these, do you want me to back-review them or just start with the most recent?

das

Goldberg74

You can go ahead and back review them. I had to for the Jaime Pressly one... and don't worry about being timely. I don't do the ranking until I post the thread for the next week (on Friday nights).

And when you do, do them in the original thread for that host and I'll refigure the tallies.

Glad to know you're still with us on this.


... on an unrelated note, I caught part of Martin Lawerence's "Rebound" on HBO today, and I can tell you one thing... I do not miss Horatio Sans one bit.

das Monkey

Will do. Thanks. And sorry for the delays (like anyone is dying to read my "analysis" of crappy sketch skit comedy anyway ).

SuperBatMan

Kinda liked that skit, although Justin giggling through it almost ruined it.

Rogue588

so...is the audience comprised of a combination of JT's fan club and 14 year-old girls that are in his fan club?

glad to see Fallon freed up his busy schedule to make the show..

BigPete

did they start censoring "**** in a box" half way through?

Sdallnct

Pretty good so far....BARRY!!! ROBIN!

Steam

Wiig looked insanely hot in that digital short.

Nabalab

I'm digging all the skits so far - and it was nice to see Cameron briefly, introducing him.

RichC2

This show would at least be mildly entertaining if they kept the energy level they had through most of this episode (so far).

SuperBatMan

Oh God, Nancy Grace skit.

At least it's 15 minutes from the end and not in the first 30 minutes.

MechanicalMan

That Nancy Grace sketch went on forever. I hated seeing the stupid Target sketch, too.

ChefWinduAZ

"I am Barry F'n Gibb. I will murder you on national television!!!"

Daytripper

Painfully so. I think it was the longest skit in SNL history. Felt like it anyway.

Thumbs way down for digging up Jimmy Fallon. Who still can't get through a skit without laughing at himself.

MrX

Other than laughing during the skits, Timberlake's not a bad host. Who would have thought he'd do better then Annette Bening.

Glad to see The Barry Gibb Talk Show

Charlie Goose

The whole show gets a B-. JT gets a B+ as host. He’s pretty good, but not great.

Santa’s My Boyfriend
Interesting way to open the show, with the 3 female cast members singing. Relieved not to see another Bush skit. B+

Monologue
JT sings the Chipmunk song, with Samberg, Armisen, and Hader dressed as the Chipmunks. Once you got past the gag of seeing them in the funny outfit, there were no actual jokes here because all they did was sing the real song. All style and no substance. D+

Holiday charities
JT dressed as soup, outdrawing a Salvation Army Santa. Pretty funny watching JT doing charity raps. Although he did his entrance like the world has been quivering with anticipation to see him do this costume sketch again. B

Target
Wiig reprises her annoying Target cashier, while JT is the dimwitted stock boy. It’s the same skit every time, but Wiig is so good that it’s not terrible. JT was pretty good too. “You look like Angelina Jerler” B

Digital Short
“Dick in a Box” Finally, another good Digital Short. I’m not sure if Samberg and JT were supposed to be spoofing anyone. A-

The Barry Gibb Talk Show
Jimmy Fallon does his angry, falsetto Barry Gibb. Hammond did a great Jimmy Carter. A-

Dry Eyes
Game show to see who can not cry the longest. Very odd, and not in a good way. As usual, performances were the best part. C+

Weekend Update
Best joke was referring to Hanukkah as “the war on Christmas”. Hammond as Lou Dobbs bombed. Armisen and Hader returned as the badabing NJ gay couple, which was good. Amy ended a joke with “threw up in his mouth a little”, which was funny for about 30 seconds 3 years ago. B-

Hip Hop Kids
Lost in a cave. This week’s WTF sketch. Yes JT, you are very hip hop. WE GET IT ALREADY. Fucking skit didn’t even have an ending. D

Elf auditions
JT as a, WHAT ELSE, hip hop hoochie trying out to be a Macy’s elf. Thompson is her stepmother. We saw him do this with Jaime Pressley, and I’m glad to see her back. B+

Nancy Grace
Unusual to see a political sketch as the last bit, but this one fits. Just like last time, this was a real stinker. D-

Giantrobo

You know, that Wiig chick is a strange looking woman. But when she's made up to look like a Sexy chick like they did in that Music video or when she's the beeper chick, she really looks good.

Anyway, So far not a bad show.

blairwitchfan

I think it was c*ck in a box, which is funnier. IMO, it had Lazy Sunday potential, but I guess not based on the lack of reaction here.

GuessWho

I think they were spoofing Color Me Badd who had the "i wanna sex you up" song

Snowmaker

Well, I fell asleep somewhere during the dry eyes skit I think, but everything up till then was pretty good.

Wiig has sort of a tomboy appeal to her:
