Best part of the show so far is finding out Louis CK is hosting 11/3.

I wonder if that Pandora sketch was written by the same guy who wrote every sketch Jay Pharoh was in prior to this season.

I'm enjoying this ep so far.

"Sad Mouse" was touching.

The Pandora Intern sketch was pretty good. Bruno's going all out in every thing thrown at him.

Stefan always kills me...

Not a great episode but Hanks was fun, and of course Stefan.

I'm very out of touch with today's music and even I know who Bruno Mars is. He did okay, with what he had.

The killer animatronics skit had potential. However you can't say "potential" regarding SNL without putting "wasted" in front of it.

If they didn't tell us that the guy was impersonating Brad Pitt on the phony commercials, I NEVER would've figured it out.

As a fan of Bruno Mars, I think he did really well. So far it's been a very enjoyable episode.

OK, I'm not sure about this, but I'm going to ask:

Should we know who Fun. is? Or what Fun. is?

No offense but how old are you? This song has been on every pop radio station for like a year. It's almost worse than Call Me Maybe.

Most of the time people will know the song without knowing who actually sang it.

Like em or not, it's a pretty difficult band to avoid.

Fun. also does the song "Some Nights," which is also very popular. And they have a ton of nominations (American Music Awards, MTV Awards, Q Awards, Kids Choice).

Yeah, Louie CK being paired with Fun. is a load of fail.

slight....very very slight improvement by Jay Pharaoah...altho maybe it was just because he got to show his 'range' by appearing in half the sketches.

Agreed on Bruno Mars, he was just as good as any of the full time cast members. Maybe we'll start seeing less of Timberlake and more of him.

Louis CK paired with anyone is the complete opposite of fail.

I don't see the problem. Is it important that the host synergizes with the MG?

Which bit? Can you try and be more specific in the future. A lot of people don't watch the show live and track DVDTalk threads for it at the same time.

that Sad Mouse short reminded me of those Albert Brooks pieces he use to do in the 70s before he quit.

What little I saw was decent. Bruno is a talented guy on many levels.

The Pandora sketch was pretty good, and the Under-Underground Festival is always welcome.

I have to eat crow today. Bruno Mars was excellent... the Pandora Radio skit showed how much talent the guy has. Awesome job!!
