Amph Live From New York, It's Saturday Night!

I think Gilly is more about Wiig's talent for bringing a cartoon character to life than punch lines. That's what Gilly is: A living cartoon character. She's mimicking a hand drawn character in her facial expressions, movements, and dialog.

I, personally, don't find Gilly that "funny" from a punch line standpoint either; however, inasmuch as she's a concept that Wiig executes to perfection, I find Gilly a work of genius.

She's a bit like jazz-fusion. You don't like it for the hooks as much as the for the technical execution.

 

This is terrible, James Franco is killing me right now.

 

YOUR DREAM SNL HOSTS:


KRISTIN CHENOWETH

Kristin Chenoweth, please. Give the girl something to do now that Pushing Daisies isn?t on and her Glee stint isn?t permanent.-kellen

 

So today's show is a re-run, right? No way they'd have been rehearsing through New Year's and all...

 

Recap

 

Lord, that was a funny episode. Charles Barkley may be unpolished, but he is funny as ****. Every skit after the opening had me rolling.

My favorite was the Thomas Peepers insurance company.

EW admitted to liking an episode of SNL? Shocking.

Otherwise, it wasn't better than the last week's episode. It seems like no one else saw it but me though.

Saturday Night Live ? In the 2000s: Time and Again

"Last decade, some of the most hilarious people of all time hit the SNL stage to entertain us with their physical comedy and bizarre mouthings. But hey, that's enough about the Black Eyed Peas. SNL in the 2000s also brought us Tina Fey's Sarah Palin, ''D--- in a Box,'' and Jimmy Fallon's inability to say three words without giggling. All these and more are recalled in this retrospective, with contributions from the likes of Alec Baldwin, Justin Timberlake, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, and a strangely buff-looking Horatio Sanz.

Saturday Night Live

"The incredibly talented Gabourey Sidibe hosts tonight. Because the comedic undertones of Precious (yes, yes, we know, based on that book) weren't lost on Lorne Michaels."

 

Sounds like fun!

 

Betty White hosts 'Saturday Night Live' (NBC, 11:35 p.m. EDT)

"Our prayers have been answered: The legendary Betty White hosts tonight's "Saturday Night Live." Hey, Big Guy, another request: Please, please, please let musical guest Jay-Z bring Betty on for a duet."


Hmmmmmm.

 

i thought this was the best episode of snl that i've seen in years. bringing back all the old female cast members was great, and betty white slayed me pretty much every time she was on screen. also jay z was awesome.

 

The highlight for me was The Census Taker skit. I was in stitches, great comedy for sure.

 

Pretty much this!
