In stark contrast to last week’s disappointing repeat of the Hugh Laurie episode from December, this week’s repeat is one of this season’s finest, with TV, film, stage and internet star Neil Patrick Harris.
For a taste of what’s in store, visit NBC.com and check out the Save Broadway sketch.

SNL’s Kristen Wiig guest starred on a recent episode of HBO series Flight of the Conchords. If you’ve never seen FOTC, it’s about Jemaine and Bret, a folk parody duo from New Zealand who move to New York to try and make it as musicians. In “Same Girl”, the guys both fall for [...]

Leading off two weeks of SNL repeats is the Hugh Laurie/Kanye West episode from December.
When they first announced that Hugh Laurie was going to host, I was excited. Laurie is a talented comedic actor, but he was sadly underused. This was one of this season’s biggest disappointments, in my opinion.
Decide for yourself by [...]

Alec Baldwin returned to SNL as host for the 14th time on Valentine’s Day, along with some special celebrity guests, and teen heart throbs Jonas Brothers.
The opening sketch was pretty lame - a Republican gripefest over the Obama administration. It was so weak, not even Dan Aykroyd could save it. I kept thinking [...]

Color me shocked - last night’s episode of SNL with host Bradley Cooper was one of the best this season!
Each sketch, from beginning to end, was consistently funny.
In Bradley Cooper’s opening monologue, he recounted his many appearances on Inside The Actors Studio - as a student - and James Lipton even made a brief appearance. [...]

Bradley Cooper takes on hosting duties for this episode of SNL. Who, you may ask? Don’t worry, I had to look him up as well. Turns out I do know who Bradley Cooper is! I knew him as “Hearts and Scalpels” leading man Aidan on Nip/Tuck, and from the hit film [...]

Steve Martin is the lone member of the 15 time club, yet that wasn’t enough to impress this long-time SNL viewer.  I expected so much more.  Much like his movie career of late, Martin’s latest foray into Studio 8H was mediocre at best.
It started off promising, and I particularly liked Steve Martin’s comment regarding President [...]
