SNL (1/10)

Neil Patrick Harris tonight. Okay, I'll stick around...

Decent open. Pretty good monologue. Then:
SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH! And the show comes to a dead stop on the first skit, mocking Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford's fourth hour of the Today show. Why the fuck do I still give this piece of shit a chance?

 

Is there a new girl replacing Poehler who they didn't credit in the opening credits?

She did the cold open, then she was in the later part of the second skit.

 

She was the first girl in the featured, or whatever they call them, cast. The b-team.
Second skit was pretty good. I cracked up when the rest of the Broadway singers started doing the song from Rent.

 

That was Chris Elliott's daughter? Wow. I didn't think she looked like that.

 

Digital short = outstanding

 

Really? Outstanding?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. It was the Doogie Howser theme. And where was the comedy?

 

Can young Taylor be any more plastic?

 

I dunno. But with those front teeth, I think she may be John Elway's illegitimate daughter.
EDIT: I will say this for her, though. She's cute (in that 18yo ingenue way), can sing a little and actually plays an instrument. More than you can say for many young stars these days. Oh, and she's singing live (yeah, Ashley Simpson, that means you).

 

I should be a fan. She is, after all, a Berks County, Pa., girl.

Incidentally, Wikipedia's already reported that she just became the youngest country performer ever to appear on SNL.

 

Has Barkley ever hosted SNL?

 

Yeah, about fifteen years ago.

 

Yep. Remember the Barney sketch, when he played Barkley one-on-one, and Charles gave him a devastating elbow?
