SNL

OK I'll start. That was probably the unfunniest SNL I have ever seen. The Indigo Girls skit was painfully bad as was the "Lance can't run" Ironman thing.
The host really makes a difference. I didn't see this past week, but it seems that SNL saves their better material for when they have a bigger host.

Example - the Catherine Zeta-Jones episode was pretty funny, a week after the cringe-inducingly bad episode with Napoleon Dynamite.
Wow. Thanks for answering my question. Now I'm going to go back and find where I read that….I'm almost certain it was Jay Mohr's book and he was talking about a skit he had written for Bono, but I'm not even 80% certain.

Agreed. But Tina Fey's "smoke pole" joke is in my top 3 Tina Fey Weekend Update jokes of all time.
Kelly Clarkson was in a skit as a busker on the subway. Can't remember the guest host, but she wasn't even banging him.
Jon Bon Jovi/Joey Santora and Sting both did different skits but the same subject. They were interviewing two dancers to appear on their video or something, and they would come out to the band song and imitate it by dance ridiculously. I believe Chris Katan was one of the two, those were hilarious.

Paraphrasing…When Bono was at the White House he asked Bush to fight AIDS and cancel third world debt. Bush asked Bono to get back with Cher.

Pretty funny.

i haven't really found any of the last 3 to be very funny. it's very hit-or-miss these days. usually if it's not funny by the end of the first 30 minutes, it's not going to get any better.

They showed a picture of a really large Rosie O'Donnell when she got "married" to that chick and, Tina made the announcement on weekend update. Then she said "And to celebrate, they're eating out."

Wait for it……

There you go. That was damn funny.

That was a good one too. Horacio was terrible in his 2-week stint, but his joke about clowns and Cancer was hilarious.

Chris Katan & hilarious ???

Those two things should never be uttered in the same paragraph.
Neil Young did a cameo as a dope fiend in a skit last Saturday.

However, this was the highlight of an otherwise unremarkable SNL.

that video was HILARIOUS … and i thought it was a pretty good SNL all-around … neil young sounded horrible

there were so many reasons that should have been beyond awful, but i'll be goddamned if it wasn't one of the best things on that show in years.

i definitely agree with this. it made me forget how terrible most of the rest of the show was. as bad as the short really was, we found ourselves laughing so much.
Totally agree about the Narnia "rap" video. Ridiculously funny! That new guy has potential to be a stand-out cast member. Same with the other new guy who does spot-on impersonations. He did a great Pacino and an incredible Vincent Price this season.
Is it my imagination or does Rhett look like Neil Young?
