SNL 11/15 Hosted by Alec Baldwin
 
with musical guest Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot.

The best host of SNL IMO. Alec will do and say anything for a laugh. Looking forward to this one.

It would be cool if they had Adam Sandler come back so they could do a Canteen Boy sketch. I am looking forward to this one, too. He's funny everytime he hosts.

Bandoman 11-15-03 09:54 PM

The "Schwetty balls" sketch is one of my all-time favorites. :lol:

I was thinking the same thing

when did Darrel Hammond lose the ability to do an impersonation that was halfway accurate. First his schwartzenegger one this season, now bush. both suck. Parnel did a halfway decent one, and of course no one will beat Farrel for Bush jr.

movieking 11-15-03 10:40 PM

Mike Myers cameo at the monologue...pretty cool...

mikehunt 11-15-03 10:52 PM

the zinger skit was funny except for the zinger "effects"
although the burn effects baldwin did were decent

This maybe the funniest thing all night!

I couldn't believe that one.

Why AL?????????????????????????

ClarkKentKY 11-15-03 10:55 PM

Ugh. Hammond's Bush impression is still horrible. In fact i think it got worse. It bears no resemblance to Bush in any way. It reminds me of when Michael McKean did Bill Clinton unsuccessfully for a couple of episodes.

What was the matter with Parnell's version??

MasterCXtreme 11-15-03 10:58 PM

Pretty funny ep so far. Monlauge was good. I always noticed how the band members always laugh a little too much during monolauges. It's abot time someone made fun of em. Mike Myers was cool. The Doctor skit was funny. Pretty much the same character as Will Ferrell's 'Bad Doctor' except he does boob jobs. And it looks like Alec didn't have to do a costume change during commercials.

Really enjoyed tonights show,best of the season imho :)

mikehunt 11-16-03 12:00 AM

great episode, good thing I was able to mute the "musical" guest

wmansir 11-16-03 12:02 AM

Opening:Hammond's impression blows. Not horrible like his Schwarzenegger, but still bad. I couldn't get past it to see how funny the sketch was.

Monologue: seemed a bit short...mostly made me ask: Why isn't Myers hosting this week?

Huggie Tong: Ok.

Breast implants: Good jokes but the ending was bad.

Zinger and Burns: The campfire burn was good, otherwise mediocre.

Tony Bennett: For a host Alec did a good job with the impression. No real funny jokes, but the impression wasn't bad. Sanz looked like he was just playing himself in a bad wig.

Gaystrogen: What the hell was that? The kiss would have been funny if they had lingered on it.

The Falconer: Same premise as always, but I still like it. Alec was unnecessary, but the falcon puppet is hilarious.

**MY local news' Matrix parody/commercial: This was a lame "stormcenter" commercial as a Matrix parity. It was incredibly lame, but had surprisingly high production value.

Missy Elliot: I see the rap community is getting some revenge on House of Pain by co-oping their culture. But the joke is on them as even hip urban grooves can't make Riverdance cool. [edit: said it 'can make Riverdance cool', of course I meant can't]

Weekend Update: Tina's Ahnold impression is better than Hammond's. Forte Sex Tape: Funny, then at the end it got creepy.
Overall, Tina: funny, Jimmy: not funny but always about to laugh like he thinks he is.

C-SPAN: This issue was ripe for the picking and they ran with it, hilarious. Best skit so far.

Keen Corp: I think Amy Poehler looked cute, but other than that this skit had little going for it.

Siegfried and Roy: Fake blood is funny...usually.

Schinewald Studios: Dratch was good. I'm getting a bit tired of the cast about to bust up every scene. It was funny when the old casts did it because you knew they were really trying to be professional and just couldn't keep it in, but the new cast seems to think its no big deal.

Overall: A great skit, two good ones and a halfway decent Weekend Update among a pile of mediocrity earn this episode a C+.

Charlie Goose 11-16-03 12:14 AM

Very funny episode tonight. Alec Baldwin is such a good host, he elevates the material. I don’t mind seeing him back every year.

Bush address
Bah, these are never funny. I think Darrell Hammond has completely lost it, as he used to be really good.

Monologue
Surprise appearance by Mike Myers to promote The Cat in the Hat. Sanz & Fallon appear as two band members laughing hysterically at Baldwin’s jokes. Finally, they can put that to good use.

Baby thong diaper commercial
Repeat from a few weeks ago.

Plastic Surgeon
Okay premise, and Baldwin made the sketch. Kind of lazy writing with Poehler’s character saying she’s only sticking around for (two, one) more jokes.

Zinger Vs. The Burn
Great skit. "TIMMMM-BURRRRRN!"

The Tony Bennett Show
Baldwin was excellent here with a hilarious impression of the laid-back Bennett and his nifty phrases. Fred Armisen as Robert Durst.

Gaystrogen commercial
Another repeated commercial. At least throw one new one in.

The Falconer
I know a lot of people hate the Falconer, but I think that bird is a scream. At least he chased away the Mexican children using the Falconer for a pinata. “El Falcon!”

Weekend Update
Another take on the Arnold joke about an action-packed California. Good stuff. Will Forte’s sex video was funny too.

C-SPAN
Great sexual puns about the prince of England. SNL needs to do more of the cutting-edge humor.

Keen Corporation presentation
Kind of a throwaway, but still good.

The Return of Roy
Hilarious, but short. “Ahhh! Mein eye! Mein eye”

Movie producers
Seth Myers as a young producer, and Baldwin and Rachel Dratch and his father and grandfather. Dratch was the best here.

Overall, a big thumbs up for the show.

Next week is a repeat of the Halle Berry.
The week after is another repeat (not sure which)
December 6th, the host is
Spoiler:
Al Sharpton!!! This should be interesting.

Unless they can get Ferrell to guest and do the Bush skit they should just stop. Parnell was ok but Hammond is terrible.

Baldwin's was great. His Tony Bennett impression was very good.

I thought the Zing/Burn skit and the CSPAN skit were the best.

Loved the Falcon snorting coke:lol:

The Demi Moore joke during WU was greatrotfl

B.A. 11-16-03 12:24 AM

Oh, shit - I meant to tape this! Dammit, he's my all-time favorite host, too. I guess I will have to wait for a re-run. :(

Patman 11-16-03 08:47 AM

Now, I did have faith that Alec Baldwin would be a good host, so I did record this episode. He's been funny as hell on his previous stints, and am glad to see that he's up to the task once more.

MasterCXtreme 11-16-03 09:19 AM

Sweet. Great episode.

Yeah, that was a good joke, but I thought it was kind of ruined by Fallon & Fey jumping up and dancing after the punchline.

xDareDevilx 11-16-03 11:49 AM

I'm not sure why I keep giving SNL a chance. I think this show will be funny eventually, so I keep tuning in every week. And once again I find myself doing it only on mad tv's commercial breaks and agian once mad tv is over. And again, I didn't see one sketch that made me laugh (except during the rainbow dance scene on the gaystrogen comm.). Wow, this show has lost it. The past 2 seasons have not been funny and they desperately need new writers and stars. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and will stop tuning in.....BLECH.

Josh-da-man 11-16-03 12:52 PM

Hammond was a serviceable Clinton (though not up to Phil Hartman's standards), but his Bush is terrible.

This was probably the best of the season so far, but that is faint praise indeed.

I liked the "Zinger," and "Tony Bennett" sketches, and thought the the C-SPAN Prince Charles one was the best they've done all year.

And Missy Elliot sucked. What the hell is that shit? It's a bunch of people yelling and swinging their arms around for five minutes. How am I supposed to view this? What am I supposed to be looking for? And why should it impress me?

I just don't get this hip hop shit.

movieking 11-16-03 01:36 PM

I loved this episode. I thought that most of the skits were funny, even the Falconer, which I usually hate. The Demi Moore joke was great, as was the sex video.

Alec Baldwin once again did a phenomenol job hosting...

Burnt Alive 11-16-03 02:15 PM

Someone needs to tell Missy Elliot that it's not Dutch, it's Irish.

Pikul 11-16-03 03:03 PM


whoa! a ghetto Riverdance
Well, those people were black, after all. And we all know what comes from the ghetto.

the narrator 11-17-03 10:55 AM

best episode of the season by far



the highlishgts were the demi moore joke and the C-Span Prince Charles skit

big whoppa 11-17-03 01:01 PM

Good show overall. Like Charlie Goose said, Alec boosted the sometimes average material. It's what makes him such a great host. The Tony Bennett impersonation was right on. Burn with the two sticks was great and his pervert doctor was dead on.

I loved the guy's sex tapes. Hilarious.

Roy skit was uninspired. I knew there would be blood everywhere.

I can't understand all of Missy's lyrics although they're often sexual references but she does put on a great show. Love her energy and the rhythm.

shaggybrown 11-17-03 08:50 PM

Parnel didn't do so much as an impression of Bush but an impression of Will Farell doing an impression of Bush.

Haven't seen Hammond's yet.

Hiro11 11-18-03 02:45 PM

:lol: at the falcon puppet.
