Seems kind of amusing overall. For those of you who saw the opening, who was that playing GWB's daughter Jenna? Also, Tina Fey is kind of cute as a weekend update anchor. She's not hot, but she's not ugly like Ana Gasteyer.

the girl who played George W's daughter looked like Julia Stiles. I am loving this episode. Laughing out loud at SNL is rare for me, but so far this episode is just great!

JohnPhoenix 05-06-01 12:05 AM

yay I was right it was Julia Stiles.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I think the Jeffery's skit kinda fell apart though.

I guess I missed the good stuff. The first half hour was so painful I couldn't take it anymore and turned it off.

I watched the whole thing and didn't laugh much at all.

the weakestlink thing made me laugh... as well as the part with the fat man walking into the store...

missed the opening though...

It had a few good parts such as the Weakest Link and the Will Ferrel as the boss sketch, but that's about it. Didn't they say there was a cartoon by Robert Smigel in the opening. I must have spaced out or something cuz I don't remember them showing one

mikehunt 05-06-01 06:11 PM

it says that every episode this season even though there aren't always cartoons

I thought it was pretty entertaining (except for a few certain skits- the Gemini's twin one, the snotty clothing store workers, and the last one). The Office Job one was hilarious. Will Ferrell was just going crazy. I also loved the Weakest Link skit. "Fred Flinstone called, he wants his head back"

I was rolling during that Las Vegas Lounge/daycare sketch when the lounge singer looked at an Asian kid and said:

"Give us back our plane!"

It felt like a missed opportunity. If you have Pierce Brosnan as your guest host, you DO A BOND SKIT!!!! Yes, they had the thing with "Sean Connery" at the beginning, but come on, no target is easier than a Bond skit. It could have been hilarious. IMHO, they just blew it.

I couldn't tell if it was Julia Stiles or that girl who played Michael Douglas' daughter in Traffic. I get those two confused.

Brosnan only made me laugh as the lounge singer at the end.

I realize that digital movie sketch was probably filmed prior to Molly Shannon's quasi-official (?) exit, but I really don't like how we're seeing about as much of her after "leaving" as we did when she was "in" the cast. Don't make a big deal about your "last" episode when you're marginally funny and then keep showing up.

Lovitz could get away with his reappearances 'cause he was self-deprecating (and was funnier). Also, SNL didn't run a "best of" Jon Lovitz less than two months after his exit. I wouldn't be surprised if Shannon "hosts" before the year is over.

I'm glad Molly Shannon left -- she was so annoying -- she didn't have a single recurring character I liked.

I thought Pierce was a good sport -- that "Ambrosio" takeoff on Fabio was funny. He probably didn't want to do anything on Bond besides the opening monologue -- he must get so sick of the whole thing.
