I laughed my ass off at Wiig's Bjork on Weekend Update. That was hilarious!

Bradley Cooper always seemed like a cool guy, so it's cool he got to host. That said, show was okay.

I must have been in the right mood, because I was laughing a lot last night. The digital short was OK, but it seemed a little too much like the video from the Step Brothers.

Love TV On The Radio...Dear Science one of the best albums of last year...performance last night sucked.

Sudakis in the bad guy sketch was the highlight for me. "FINISH IT!"

I love TV on the Radio too, but I couldn't understand a single word sung last night.

Not an altogether bad show - although I thought the digital short didn't work. It might be time to find a new well.

Kristin Wiig's performance reminded me why I initially liked her - playing actual characters instead of riding on a funny voice. I hope she and the writers learn from this episode.

The Bad Guys Good Conversation skit is a fun idea, but outside of the costumes, they forgot to write any jokes for it. Same with the Christian Bale rant. Weekend Update was maybe the best it's been all season with Bjork, Harrison and REALLY.

I think they should. Funny stuff and I can't wait to get the Lonely Island Incredibad album this tues.

I don't know where you get this. Historically, the overwhelming majority (there are a few exceptions) of musical acts on SNL have their career-worst performances on the show. I don't know if it's the stage, the sound mix, whatever, but every single band that I've seen live and also on SNL, have always greatly disappointed me on SNL compared to any other live performance I've seen of them, including ones I've seen on other TV programs.

Most of the bands I really like have had great performances on the show(Arcade Fire a couple of years ago, and Fleet Foxes just recently were amazing). And of course right before TVOTR came on I was telling my wife how great they are..then.....that. At least the show was better than the week before. While not an snl hater...you could usually count on a Steve Martin hosted show to be great and it pretty much sucked.

NiCK Crush

Yea, they're great. I'm excited for the album as well.

Really is better when it is "Really with Seth & Amy"

The one with Michael Vick was the best.

The Bjork with Charles Barkely Iconoclasts sketch was better than last nights show.


This might sound crazy or brilliant but I think Bob Costas would be a good guest host.

He is part of the NBC family and maybe that saves money in some way and he has an underrated sense of humor and I think he could be funny if he tried it.


I would think after about 3 years they would have gotten somebody from "Heroes" to host the show.

Speaking as a huge Bjork fan and a huge Wiig fan, I was conflicted.

Also, the Today Show bit was very funny. Frank peeing in the mini fridge.

So what's the deal with the Football player Keenan spoofed? It was a funny bit but I didn't understand why he portrayed him that way.

JTH182

Did you watch the Super Bowl?

He set a record for longest interception returned for a touchdown... and he's no small guy.

And he said he didn't have much left in the tank nearing the goalline: http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/nfl.../harrison_run/

Ronnie Dobbs

Any notice Kenan's Charles Barkley and his Harrison were the same character different shirts?

mdc3000

Yeah, the dude pretty much collapsed as he crossed the line and lied there for a bit - Kenan's bit was hilarious and spot on.

Jadzia

"Snarf." (giggle)

I really love Wiig's Kathie Lee. She has her down pat. "Ho-down"

B.A.

The Digital Short and Bad Guys Good Conversation were the only parts that I really cared for.

Bill Hader's Buffalo Bill stole the entire Bad Guys sketch.

Seth's Really!?!? was good, but it much better w/ Amy.

Double_Oh_7

Obviously you didn't see Ashlee Simpson.

CharlieK

I agree. Sure you're going to have some great performances here and there due to the amount of acts who appear on the show over the years. But I'd say, on average acts don't perform very well on the show compared to their albums or concerts or other shows. I think the mix has a lot to do with it, and also there really isn't a lot of space to move around up there. Maybe that limits the performance somewhat for some of the more active guests. Who knows. I always hope for the best, but I'm often disappointed.

Cardiff Giant11

Yea that was strange. Wiig's Bjork was good but seemed like it was just like Wynonna Ryder's from a 2002 celebrity jeopardy sketch.

Maybe I should have said musicians usually bring their A games.

FatTony

Did you just refer to Ashlee Simpson as a musician?

siddd5

didnt know bjork qualified as a musician either.
