SNL 2/5

Remember when she was good? She was. At one point.

Remember when Linkin Park was good? Yeah, they never were.

 

Nice episode. Jay Pharaoh absolutely KILLS as Eddie Murphy. Glad to see they also dragged Regis out. And what's wrong with Linkin Park? lol

 

Only complaint I had with the musical performance was a kind of flat mix. Usually SNL lets you hear everything and mixes it well, but it didn't translate. Vocals especially seemed off.

 

EPIC Carvey fail: No Massive Head Wound Harry.

 

But Justin Bieber cancels out a lot of this good will. Even though its not a school night, its past the bedtime of most of his core audience (which dvr'ed it anyway, but stiill ...).

 

Ward, something's wrong with the Bieber. He's not choppin' broccoli.

 

Yeah, a nice reminder of when the show was a weekly must-see.

I guess Myers has gotten over his jealousy of Carvey. Maybe the hundreds of millions he made doing Shrek while Carvey was barely hanging on after having a botched heart surgery gave him perspective.

Seth Meyers still sucks.

 

Really excellent show, especially the first half. Wayne's World was a pleasant surprise "Winter's Bone.. this joke has been done for the third time" and "I could make a Mila out of her Kunis".
"Church Chat" was great too - and did anyone else notice Phil Hartman's intros on both sketches - nice touch.
Overall one of the funniest episodes of the year.

 

Loved the Kardashian appearance. Almost as good as the 30 Rock reference the other night. Jack Donaghy realizes his voice-activated TV remote doesn't work, and yells, "Crap!"
TV switches to "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

 

Massive Head Wound Harry was so strong. When the dog started licking at his head ...

 

It says a lot that the only time the show is good is when former castmembers return.

Pharoah is great, but they paractically have to use a crowbar to get him in there.

 

I think with Pharoah the holdover cast members who suck realize if they let him take over episodes he'd explode and push them to the back, hence him barely getting any air time.
