SNL with Peyton Manning

I didn't see the show, but if they didn't have Peyton Manning think to himself, "I'm going upstairs to masturbate," then the show was a failure.

 

I thought it was excellent ... and the cartoon was the best in a couple of years.

 

My gut reaction to Tiger hosting is that it would be worse than Gretzky's. The only redeeming part of the Great One's appearance was "Waikiki Hockey."

And Pope, I thought the final skit would have had a similar line, but alas the best we got was "I have a pig's vagina" from Kristen Wiig.

 

Cut that meat (loaf) ... Cut that meat (loaf)
Peyton Manning and the United Way was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
And the NCAA pool sketch was good as well.
I would have liked to have seem them work Eli into a sketch, but it was decent.

 

One of the all-time shock moments of SNL. Honest to God.

I remember watching that when it originally aired and did a double take when Joe Montana said the line. It was awesome.

 

Simply outstanding.

Seriously, the board could write a better SNL in 90 minutes.

 

Did they do an Idol sketch with Underwood?

 

The key to this, of course, would be to have a cast member (or several) scrambling madly to get into position before he shouted "Action!" Then they could have one of the big-name referees throw a flag because said cast member wasn't set for a full count.

They should have had one where she dumps Romo for a "real" quarterback. (And then follow that up with the Brady-esque baby.)

 

I only saw about 30 minutes of it when I got home from a game but I'll admit I laughed a couple of times at the sketch with the annoying girl at the party who kept interrupting everyone. We've all run into somebody like that, no?

 

I went in fearing the worst ... and Peyton was actually pretty good.

Lord knows he's had a lot of practice in front of the camera with all his commercials ....

The monologue was predictable and he stumbled once but recovered. But the United Way spot was ROFL funny. I usually punch out on the segment after Weeekend Update, but what I saw of the show was decent.

 

1) I will never understand why they keep doing that Tim Calhoun sketch. I can't even see just one ounce of humor in it.

2) It's easy to see why they changed Bush impersonators (Forte -- who by no coincidence plays Tim Calhoun -- was terrible.) That said, Sudeikis is't much of an improvement.

3) How in the world do you have Peyton Manning on the show and not do a Superfans sketch? I think something where Bears fans would have kidnapped him would be hilarious.
