wow, Tina Fey nailed Sarah Palin. Has the look and the voice down cold.

9/13/2008 11:38:59 PM

ummm, let me guess.....
Michael Phelps and the coach are going to dance

9/13/2008 11:49:19 PM

not anywhere close to peyton manning

coach, i just thought about going back out there and a little bit of pee came out

9/14/2008 9:16:47 AM

9/14/2008 10:38:05 AM

and amy poehler is super pregnant

9/14/2008 10:48:15 AM

decent but nothing noteworthy

9/14/2008 11:03:12 AM

looks like i will be going back to the way i watched SNL a couple years ago before i quit watching all together, watch first skit, change to something else.

9/14/2008 12:54:06 PM

the only thing I really laughed at was the michael phelps diet plan, which aired at about 12:55.

9/14/2008 1:42:18 PM

btw, there's no point in posting youtube videos of SNL, they'll just get taken down.
They're doing a good job of posting everything to hulu.com very quickly, and the quality is MUCH better than youtube.
Here's the cold opening, which, btw, was the only thing worth watching about last night's show

charles barkley!

9/14/2008 1:56:29 PM

yeah, a horrible impression of Charles Barkley. Kenan Thompson has no business doing impressions of black people, just because he's black. He's horrible.

9/14/2008 2:13:53 PM

i like it when he does charles barkley.

9/14/2008 2:31:41 PM

i NEED the UNO waiter clip

can't find it anywhere....

9/14/2008 2:39:25 PM

the thing with kristen wig and phelps being the weird kid was hilarious. wig carried the sketch

I laughed harder at that skit than I did anything else, accept for the Palin/Hillary bit.

9/14/2008 9:08:48 PM

I like his Charles Barkley, the Barkley/Bjork skit from last season was hilarious

I thought the waiter skit with the dude from the bro rape video was awesome, too

9/14/2008 9:12:36 PM

kenan is TERRIBLE at barkley

and barkley is not that hard to impersonate...

9/14/2008 11:06:23 PM

hey bork, lets go watch the tvs at best buy!

9/14/2008 11:27:22 PM

9/21/2008 2:28:56 PM

Why is Kenan still on the cast? Does he ever do ANYTHING without that constant stupid half-smirk? None of his impressions are remotely close to good, and I can't think of a single lead/recurring character.

9/23/2008 12:37:29 PM

he should start doing the frenchman in the tub that he did on all that

9/23/2008 1:31:42 PM

I think he's pretty damn funny.

9/23/2008 1:46:25 PM

Kenan's useless


So, given the pattern for the past 2 weeks, it looks like SNL will have one funny, relevant, socially-aware skit per week, followed by a bunch of crap

9/23/2008 2:05:17 PM

^^ you are the only person ever to hold that opinion, seriously

9/23/2008 2:08:07 PM

i said i liked kenan too

9/23/2008 2:21:04 PM

skits with no ending and one joke

9/23/2008 2:27:19 PM

^6 Kenan would be three times as funny if he just played his All That characters.

Hell, it would significantly improve SNL in general this season.

9/23/2008 2:31:14 PM

maybe my view is skewed b/c I hardly ever watch SNL.

The Black French stand up comedian character he did on Weekend Update a few times was pretty funny.

Zut alors!

9/23/2008 6:59:57 PM

^ It was pretty good.

9/23/2008 8:37:50 PM

i just watched last nights, WOW. that was the one of the absolute worst episode of anything i have ever seen.

9/28/2008 1:17:22 PM

it was horrible.

Who the fuck is Duffy, and why is she allowed to "sing"?

9/28/2008 1:26:16 PM

"The Brits have a strange but cool balance of taste and hype. Duffy is definitely being pushed by the British star-making apparatus and tabloid press, but she still comes off as way more genuine than her American counterparts (Hillary Duff, Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana Banana Fo-Fanna, etc. …)."

lol

9/28/2008 1:30:19 PM

^^ totally agree. She was amazingly bad....
1) how old is she? Is she an older-looking teenager, or a 40 year old who's been dolled-up to look young? wtf?
2) uuhh, lip-syncing anyone? Hey Duffy - if your mic isn't turned on, don't try to talk into to it before the music starts
3) as long as you're lip-syncing, you might as well find a track where you don't use your incredibly whiny, annoying voice
4) what. the. hell kind of dance was she trying to do....

i missed most of the cold opening, but Tina Fey looked and sounded great again, from what I saw. Not sure what Amy Poehler was trying to do there with Katie Couric, but her being pregnant and as big as a house didn't really help with the impression

9/28/2008 2:10:23 PM

you must of not seen the original interview....Katie looked stoned through it all.....her head was tilted to the side and it looked like her eyes were about shut.

We already know who will play Bristol when the wedding happens in a couple weeks....

i was watching this just ot see how they played the debate

really weak

there was so much they could have played with obama constantly shaking his head and saying "thats wrong" and mccain's half-senile shit-eating grin throughout

just weak

9/28/2008 9:54:51 PM

Queen Latifa = Gwen Ifill?

ha. had a double take on that one

10/4/2008 11:31:14 PM

"I believe that marriage is a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers"

10/4/2008 11:38:54 PM

good lord was that really sarah palin??? great job

10/4/2008 11:42:15 PM

oh man

they totally stole the flute joke from The Soup

10/4/2008 11:42:33 PM

khcadwal is hosting tonight...rawr

10/4/2008 11:45:08 PM

those little doll-hands are killing me

----

it's scary, though, how close to being verbatim much of the cold-opening was. They took very few liberties with several of those responses. and I'm glad the really highlighted Biden's craziness on the gay marriage vs. civil union business.

but yeah - once again, of course, Best of Show goes to Tina Fey already.
She's turning her Palin impression into more of a characture than she did at the beginning, but that's good. In the very first Palin sketch (with Hillary), she was dead-on accurate with her voice and looks and mannerisms. Now with the latest two impressions, she's getting into making fun of her a little more by exaggerating her accent, her screechy voice, and her other mannerisms.

[Edited on October 4, 2008 at 11:52 PM. Reason : .]

haha, Pelosi and Barney Frank are pretty good too

Kristen Wiig is pretty hot

but she plays the weirdest and most annoying characters

10/4/2008 11:53:53 PM

I really thought that was actually palin for about two minutes, great resemblance

10/4/2008 11:56:31 PM

fuck...i didnt turn it on til the credits started...missed the palin thing

10/5/2008 12:01:16 AM

haha

they're ripping everyone on both sides of everything

10/5/2008 12:01:27 AM
