ALERT: Wilco on SNL tonight!

I actually have one live Wilco album on my ipod (the library is a truly beautiful thing) but I only hear the songs on random, so I have no idea which is which.

Anywhoo, thought that was a cool tune.

And... They're back on.

 

Rudy has history with busting on SNL while on their show -- remember the intro to the first post-9/11 show?

Lorne Michaels (I think): So can we be funny?
Rudy: Why start now?

Also, if we wanted to create our SNL staff, who would we hire and what positions are we talking?

 

Ace and DD, to start.

I guess we'll let BYH play.

 

Awesome!

DD is on the Weekend Update desk for sure.

 

Arizona senator John McCain, front runner for the Republican nomination for president, denounced a report in the New York Times this week suggesting that he may have had a sexual relationship with a female lobbyist. Said McCain, "Are you kidding? I'm 71 friggin years old. I can barely get excited enough to gum my morning applesauce."

Ok, that sucked. But give me some cocaine and I'll be funny in no time.

 

that did suck, but Lorne Michaels thought it was gold.

 

BYH, you ignorant slut.

 

I'm 20 minutes in, and my god, I hope Ellen Page gets better. I was really was looking forward to seeing her on this.

 

Walken was great. There are a few others on SBS I'd pick before Hate It Here, but it was OK.

 

There's got to be a spot for Clever username. That dude is hilarious.

 

great stuff from wilco

i was hoping for box full of letters + gun, but they sounded terrific

 

I thought that role was filled by Webby and the moderators?

(that sounds like a bad 50s doo-wop group)
