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. [...]

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 [...]

This past weekend’s episode of SNL, with host Rosario Dawson, left a lot to be desired. It was just plain old boring.  I hate to say it, but this one was even worse than last fall’s Tim McGraw ep.  I have to wonder if there was any thought put into writing these sketches.
The opening [...]

NPH + SNL = the best episode of SNL so far this season! Almost every sketch was fantastic, and the ones that were mediocre were better than the entire Tim McGraw episode combined.
By far, the standout moment for me was the Digital Short featuring an orchestral rendition of the Doogie Howser, MD theme song. [...]

When you wake up tomorrow, it’ll be Christmas, and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! I actually feel like a kid again, wondering what treats Santa will leave for me under the tree, and really looking forward to seeing family and friends.
I’m also looking forward to breaking out my SNL Christmas [...]

If this past weekend’s SNL was an indication of where SNL is headed this season, it seems that it’s on an upward climb from the extremely forgettable Tim McGraw episode a couple weeks back. Here’s my recap of what I liked, and even what I didn’t like.
Could it be due to Amy Poehler’s appearance? [...]

The Best of Digital Shorts: Andy Punches

Now I have to admit, it took me a while to truly appreciate Andy Samberg and the craziness he’s contributed to SNL. When it comes right down to it, Digital Shorts are something I look forward to each week, but it wasn’t always so. How did I come to embrace Samberg’s zaniness? [...]
