Neil Patrick Harris Hosts The First SNL Since Muntader al-Zaidi Threw Shoes At President Bush!!
I am – Hercules!!
The last installment of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Hugh Laurie, aired live Dec. 13, just hours before Iraqi broadcast journalist Muntader al-Zaidi winged his wingtips at George W. Bush.
As footwear-utilizing political discourse goes, the incident may eclipse even Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschchev’s 1960 protest of Philippine delegate Lorenzo Sumulong’s rhetoric at the United Nations. But has too much time passed for SNL to weigh in on the flinging?
Tonight’s episode is the first since 2001 to air without Amy Poehler in the opening credits.
Press release:
NBC'S "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" RETURNS WITH THREE LIVE SHOWS IN JANUARY KICKING OFF WITH NEIL PATRICK HARRIS AND MUSICAL GUEST TAYLOR SWIFT ON JANUARY 10.
Three Live Broadcasts Set for January 10th, 17th, 31st
New York, NY – January 5, 2009 – Coming off a highly heated political season and showing no signs of slowing momentum, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" returns in 2009 with three live shows in January.
On January 10, Neil Patrick Harris hosts. The multi-talented Harris can currently be seen on the hit comedy "How I Met Your Mother", which recently garnered him a 2009 Golden Globe nomination and two consecutive Emmy award nominations. Named one of the "2008 Entertainers of the Year" by Entertainment Weekly, Harris gained notice on the small screen as the much-adored title character in "Doogie Howser, M.D.," a role which also garnered him a Golden Globe nomination. A stage veteran, Harris has starred in three Broadway productions, including the Tony Award-winning musical "Assassins," the Pulitzer Prize-winning production of "Proof" opposite Anne Heche and "Cabaret" at Studio 54. Rounding out his accomplishments on stage and television, Harris also has renowned success on the silver screen and in the world of voice-overs. Harris' feature film debut was starring opposite Whoopi Goldberg in "Clara's Heart." He also appeared in the hit comedy "Undercover Brother, "The Next Best Thing" opposite Madonna and Rupert Evert, among others. Harris also recently starred as the aspiring super villain and lovelorn title character of Joss Whedon's web-based musical miniseries sensation, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." He will soon be heard along with Will Arnett in the D3 Productions video game, "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard."
Joining Harris and making her "SNL" debut is musical star Taylor Swift, the bestselling artist of 2008 in all popular music formats. Taylor currently has singles climbing both the country and pop radio charts. She will perform from her sophomore album "Fearless," which has held firm at #1 on Billboard's Country Albums sales chart each week since its November 11th release. Her album is currently in its 3rd week at #1 atop Billboard's all-genre Top 200 Albums chart, in addition to topping the country chart. Also, she currently holds Billboard's record (in all genres of music) for most Top 10 debuts in a calendar year. Taylor concluded 2008 as Billboard's Top Country Artist and also claimed the #1 spot on the Hot Country Songwriters tally. Taylor leads the Top Country Album Artists recap and is #1 on the Top Country Artists Female list. "Fearless" marked the biggest selling debut week for a female artist in any genre in 2008. It was the year's 4th biggest debut over all and was the best selling debut for a country title in over a year. Taylor was named 2008's Favorite Female Country Artist at the American Music Awards. She also garnered the Top New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music and won 2008 CMT Music Awards for Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year. Swift has appeared on the covers of both Rolling Stone and Blender.
What about next Saturday? Look! Newer press release:
"SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" WELCOMES ROSARIO DAWSON AND MUSICAL GUEST FLEET FOXES ON JANUARY 17.
New York, NY - January 9, 2009 - "Saturday Night Live" launches into 2009 with its second show of the month, featuring one of today's hottest film actresses, Rosario Dawson, along with musical guest Fleet Foxes, making their "SNL" debuts on NBC January 17 at 11:30 p.m. ET.
Dawson has garnered praise for her numerous roles as an actress, making her one of Hollywood's most sought after leading ladies. Dawson can currently be seen in the drama "Seven Pounds", in which she stars with Will Smith. Her moving performance in the film has gained her acclaim and praise from critics and fans alike, including a recent nomination for a NAACP Image Award. Dawson gained recognition in 2005 when she received a Satellite Award for her performance as 'Mimi Marquez' in the film "Rent". She was honored again in 2007 at the esteemed ShoWest where she received the award for "Supporting Actress of the Year." Dawson was recently awarded the "Half-Life" Award at the 2008 Cine Vegas International Film Festival alongside Don Cheadle, Viggo Mortensen and Sam Rockwell. Making her film debut in the highly acclaimed and controversial hit "Kids," Dawson has appeared in numerous feature films, including Quentin Tarantino's horror project "Grindhouse"; the acclaimed Spike Lee film, "The 25th Hour", opposite Edward Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Pepper; "Men In Black 2" alongside Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and Spike Lee's "He Got Game" opposite Denzel Washington. Dawson also made a huge impact in the 2005 Robert Rodriguez/ Frank Miller film noir drama "Sin City" starring with Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Clive Owen, and Brittany Murphy. "Sin City" opened number one at the box office and was in dramatic competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
Joining Dawson is the five-piece Seattle based Indie rock band Fleet Foxes, whose self-titled debut album ranked first on Billboard's (Critics' Choice) top albums of 2008. Billboard described it as a "shockingly gorgeous debut ... unlocked a subconscious desire in us for more vocal harmonies." The album also landed among the top five in Spin's year end rankings and finished 11th on Rolling Stones annual list. Spin declared that "on this haunting debut, Seattle's Fleet Foxes distinguish themselves from the vintage-vinyl crowd by infusing their rootsy retro-pop moves with a sense of mystery that no one's really summoned since Oh, Inverted World changed Natalie Portman's life. Like the Shins' James Mercer, frontman Robin Pecknold is more mood man than storyteller. But his eye for detail can devastate." Internationally, Fleet Foxes have beaten off competition from the likes of Radiohead and Elbow to be awarded the first-ever "UNCUT MUSIC AWARD". The band's eponymous debut album was unanimously hailed by a panel of industry judges as the most inspiring and richly rewarding album of the last 12 months. In early 2008, Fleet Foxes released the five-song EP, "Sun Giant" and followed in June with their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut full-length album.
11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.

How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory. et al. SUCK
by thebearovingian
They're terrible, terrible, terrible. And they're getting awards?! I'm shocked they get viewers. But awards?! BTW, dumbassed headline.Poehler-Arnett will be missed.
-
They do that sometimes (Hugh Laurie springs to mind.)
-
Is there anybody in the world who is NOT watching this because of Neil Patrick Harris' character? I think without him the show would have been canceled after less than 5 episodes.
-
Can't wait for the Fleet Foxes performance on Rosario Dawson-hosted show. They are one of the best new bands out there.
-
Has more cajones than the entire American political establishment .
-
Neil Patrick Harris has a great enthusiasm which always makes his roles better than normal. I know a lot of people hate it, but HIMYM is also really fucking good. It's on par, and sometimes BETTER than the Office often!
-
Nobody ever mentions her at all, but Cobie Smulders consistently does a great job as Robin.
-
It kinda reminds me of Will & Grace in that Karen & Jack took over, and I ended up caring more about them than the titular chars.
-
That is the dumbest thing I've seen on the boards in awhile. the irony is, you're hiding behind a pseudonym while making a "tough" political statement. I must admit, it's cute watching AICN and talkbackers try to inject their political wisdom into a site that specializes in updating the world on make-believe!
-
he used to play a doctor for pretend! (Love that commercial!)
-
This show is prolly one of the best as far as story-arcing goes. The creators of the show knew that it only got 13 episodes to start with, so they tied off some storylines in 13 episodes, but then it got picked up for a season they were able to flesh it out more. The beauty of the show is that everyone of the characters is relatable at sometime.
Yeah it may have some over the top stuff happen time to time, but that's the entertainment part of it.
It's a guilty pleasure show, enjoy it for what it is, 22 mins of damn good comedy each week. I'll put the 4 seasons of it up against Scrubs anyday of the week.
As for the Big Bang Theory, it started off good, but it blew it's load way to early having the relationship fail between it's main characters. It's got no forward direction, so it's going to pump out mediocre episode again an again until CBS can fill it's slot. -
THAT's what put him back on the radar, not that How I Met Your Mother BS (which was formerly known as Willow's new gig, until NPH stole the show). He's great in HIMYM but c'mon, he had already been hot for a few months before CBS cast him for his IT factor. Harold and Kumar RULE Vagina!
-
I was going to ask if we should bring our own muhsrooms and branding irons but I had trouble logging in.
-
"Here's to Tusondra, I hope she kept the baby."
-
Because I still harbor a Hannagin Crush. Yeah, I know, I should let it go but she's so damn adorable.
-
but snobs will never admit it, because the laugh track and the traditional sitcom format. (I admit, the laugh track annoys me too) But it has jokes building up for episodes, only to receive the punchline in the moment you least expect it. It's fun.
-
...people try to make that retarded shoe thrower into some kind of folk hero.
What he actually stands for is a geopolitical viewpoint that wants Americans dead. Middle-eastern radicals and terrorists laugh in contempt when they see Americans voice support for these types of actions.
George W. Bush has been far from perfect; but that's beside the point. I don't want to see *any* American president treated that way. I hope Barrack Obama can engender some level of respect for his office and the United States, with the rest of the world... as well as here in our own country.
Seeing shoes thrown at our president is not something to be celebrated... although that computer game that made the rounds a few weeks ago was mildly amusing. -
You hit the nail on the head, I think.
-
Liza and NPH...that's 10 gallons of gay in a Dixie cup. All they need is Kevin Spacey and Kylie Minogue.
-
...I'm gonna cry. because...y'know, if she'd not been a lesbian i'd have a chance.
-
Big steaming pile of shit for the last decade or two.
-
Two goddamned bad camel shit didn't fly off the shoes into Bushs mouth. Fuck you bitch go enlist, come back with no legs and no dick then praise Bushco.
-
You make me laugh.
Why you wanna play a brother like that? -
You know the rest...
-
5x better by default!
-
But gays seem to love her for some reason. Like Liza and Streisand.
-
Actually, Muntader al-Zaidi got the shit beat out of him and begged the Iraqi government to forgive him. He actually faced consequences for his actions. I don't see you doing anything other than bitching anonymously sitting in the safest country in the world to speak your mind. If anyone thinks the terrorists of the world are going to respect us under BHO, well, al qaedas recent diatribe against BHO ought to dissuade you against that idea. Now, what would really be a funny skit would be the Obama's moving into the White House with Barack's Mother in Law coming! That sounds like comedy gold. Actually it sounds like a sitcom premise...
-
Jan 10, 2009 7:27:35 PM CST
It's kind of sad that shoe-thrower is being tortured right now
by tallboy66
I mean, shit, all he did was throw 2 shoes, and now the rest of his life is fucked. How is that fair?
-
Regarding Barack & his Mother-in-law coming to the White House
Benson would have more class & qualifications. -
Well, this week I look forward to the host (NPH is great on stage), and next week I look forward to the musical guest. Sorry, but Rosario's kinda bland to me. But she seems like she could be fun, so who knows. But I think this may be my 1st time NOT muting the musical guest since Wilco...and that was like over a year ago. And if they won't get Zooey Deschanel to host (I think she should totally host just so that she can play the sister to Kristen Wiig's A-Hole character), they could at least get She & Him as the musical guest, because that was probably my biggest "pleasant surprise" album of 2008. I don't know why I was surprised, though - M. Ward was already great, and Zooey could already sing, but yeah, definitely wasn't expecting to like that one as much as I did.
-
and other broken english phrases for 1000. HIMYM and BBT have been sustaining me on TV while I wait for Lost to return. BBT has episodes when the jokes are forces and fall flat, but when you get things like Sheldon's Batman impersonation and his forced smile...it is worth it.
-
Best fucking show in ages.
-
He'd be in an unmarked grave right now. Ah, Democracy.
-
Yeah, I'd do her. Nice legs.
-
HIMYM single-handedly made me believe in sit-coms again.
-
Please get your homo-knowledge from somewhere else other than the playground and tired stand-up jokes. I don't like Kylie nor Streisand nor Liza (accept for her Arrested Development appearances). Nor Judy. Spacey? Who cares? NPH is okay. Like that he makes fun of himself, but not really the "crush-type". And SNL? Haven't watched it in decades, and NPH ain't enough to change that fact. Oh, and I don't own a poodle, don't know anything about fashion, or showtunes, or interior design, etc. Project Runway, however, would be great if they actually held the competition on a real airport runway! Then I'd watch it!
-
I, too, have watched "How I Met..." and just don't get it. I didn't find it very funny at all. It's weird, but there seems to be people who either love it or don't. I've only heard people praise the show or shrug, wondering what the big deal is. And I'm not against a laugh track, though my current favorite sitcoms are of the single camera variety. HIMYM seems to have an extra-obnoxious laugh track. Ah well. Variety is the spice of life...I must acknowledge that a year or two ago there were a number of terrible sitcoms that I think tried to make themselves seem more intelligent by going single-camera, which was probably due to that producer attitude that "oh, that's popular because of that gimmick".
-
I'll try to remember to leave the tv on next week... she is hot, but I'll probably have to put it on mute just so the usual awful jokes dont ruin it for me.
-
Had to be said.
-
But I loved that he dodged it. Hello, marginal journalist.. meet the secret service.
-
If he would have caught the second shoe and taken a big bite out of it.
-
...young, born again Christians will have to skip the show tonight.
-
Although "Family Guy" did that joke first.
-
Well played good sir, well played.
-
Well... good to see her have a good impression... her Maddow is pretty good.
-
no good
-
but the voice was too high. That lady's got a deep voice.
-
She's pretty cute.
-
The mannerisms were more important.
Of course, Kenan in the first sketch was a bad omen for having 3 weeks off. -
is always funny
-
Monologue came to a crashing halt with the Entourage guys.
-
does a great Cathy Lee
-
Is fabulous... just fabulous...
-
Abbey had Rachel's mannerisms down but she needs that "Anne B Davis from the Brady Bunch" voice. Kennan and Sudeikus sucked something awful. I mean Blago's held like three press conferences by now and he has that hilarious Regis Philbin voice and instead Sudeikus just does the same stupid Polak mobster voice that sounds nothing like him. It's worst than his Biden. Just awful. Abbey got to say Live from NY and she's only featured cast. She sure is cute though.
-
By the looks of these first two sketches, it's gonna be a rough night.
-
he doesn't even act, he's just himself in every movie and show.
-
Or, maybe it was On-Broadway?
Anyone? -
Who's playign Annie?
-
I don't recognize her.
-
STOMP!!!
-
Oh damn.
-
Outstanding... now I almost can't wait for Taylor Swift to perfrom
-
Now I'll have dirty thoughts about Annie.
-
HOT and a geek to boot. Gotta love it.
-
But I think the sum of the parts didn't really come together.

I thought bad things... Kenan in a 3rd straight sketch... but Wiig SAVES! Again!
-
WHAT THE FUCK? WHO CALLED IT EARLIER?! THIS IS FUCKING SURREAL
-
out of the Broadway sketch.
-
Might have replaced all Timberlake-related shorts as my personal favorite.
-
Like how there were two the show they aired JIZZ IN MY PANTS.
-
And this song's putting me to sleep. I guess we'll always have Annie.
-
It's the most hysterical geek-oriented show since Undeclared. I laugh out loud more per episode than any show on television.
-
I wonder what she would look like without the 8 lbs of make-up on? Ah, who am I kidding. I can't afford to be picky.
-
She's the next Hendrix!
-
was a hot violin playa behind him.
-
That was probably the funniest thing all night.
-
But at least it proves it's not a lip sync! Heh.
-
I find they explain their jokes far too often. There have been too many times that I have laughed and then they killed it by explaining the reference.
-
So much unintenional comedy in Taylor Swift's "band" that Lorne should hire all of them to be in sketches.
-
Too bad it may be the last time we see live-action "Red" in something new.
:-( -
"If I wanted to see a midget bang hookers, I'd have gone to Jeremy Piven's house.
-
It sucks and I don't care how it turns out, at all. Not nearly as effective as the Jim-Pam stuff was or is.
-
more Kenan? Really? Really Seth? Really?
-
I agree that the Big Bang Theory explains the jokes to the non-geeks, but it doesn't make the initial joke's laugh any more of a laugh. Once you've laughed, you can't, like, un-laugh. :)
-
Down with the BCS!
-
Jan 10, 2009 11:25:53 PM CST
I like it. and and I like Kenan (and/or Kell I don't know)
by jccalhoun
Pretty good show so far. The musical act stank but I liked the skits so far. As long as I don't have to watch her for more than 3 minutes at a time Liza Minelli is gold.
-
But the "I love the smell of 6 people's farts and I love George W. Bush" line was awesome, though.
-
I think I'm gonna go get high or something.
-
sick people's farts, or whatever he said.
-
They need to get someone. Update is better with two people.
-
that's five eleventy-thousand.
Awesome! -
I need to put down the bong.

A new study showed that the number of home-schooled kids in the U.S. has grown to 1.5 million -- or if you're home-schooled, "five eleventy-thousand."

I guess.
-
this shit SUCKS tonight.
-
But I can't help dying, especially at David Lee Roth. It's probably the reefer.
-
No more kenan please... or. Good god.
-
Fuck this ep. Fuck this show. Allow me to further retreat into my reefer.
-
And the Tommy Lee Jones voice from Darrell Hammond was spot on. Even though the sketch was really weak.
-
That Neil Patrick Harris contains two first names.
-
So there's actually a chance I'll watch something funny.
-
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
-
I really enjoyed that show. Although I'm not sure why it was on a comedy show though.
-
This is going to make my night! Pryor and then falling asleep to Roseanne!
-
Waaay comfy in that character.
-
History would say no...although history also suggests Norm Macdonald is the only person to make Weekend Update actually funny.
-
it's because he's been playing that role Saturday nights for years.
-
Great line, this next bit with the yappin broads is FUCKIN AWFUL, though.
-
NPH with long nails = gold.
-
WTF!
-
I thought we were going to be Kenan free for a sketch
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha etc.
-
always hilarious. We should get a Paul Lynde every other week.
-
Post Weekend update has been not as good though.
-
Darrell Hammond as Frank Langella as Richard Nixon - oh, it's that Swift chick again.
-
She must meet a lot of dudes looking at her from across the room.
-
Taylor Swift sounds like a husky teenager singing Taylor Swift songs, if that makes sense.

That explains this shit, Kanye, Chris Martin's seizures, I could go on.
-
...but I honestly thought Taylor Swift was a country music simger/act. Or is that what country music sounds like nowadays (crossover music)?
-
no contest.
-
Absolutely brilliant. Especially the deadpanned translator.

Agreed. Relevant...sharp...probably a little offensive to some.

wait since when is the double cheeseburger OFF the $ menu?
by jackie boy
-
It NEEDS the extra piece of cheese. Bring. Back. the Double! It's unAmerican!!!
-
man this is fuckin terrific. aw hell I forgot all about SNL already.
-
Cheese is too expensive now. They replaced it with the "McDouble", which the same as the double cheeseburger but with only one slice of cheese between the two patties.
-
Who the fuck authorized that? That sounds fucking awful.
-
Keenan had his night and he was actually pretty funny. Abbey Elliot is cute as fuck and will be the next break out female star of this show. You really want to do her until you realize she was birthed from Chris Elliot(you just know that cameo is coming) which means that when you hook up with her she's going to pull her wig off and be bald and look like he did @ the end of There's Something About Mary. NPH is one of the best hosts of this season. Taylor Swift was cloned in a vat from Scarlett Jo and Naomi Watts' DNA but she sings real pretty with her band of Merry Hipsters Douches. They need to give Belushi 5.0 more screen time. He's hilarious.
-
Besides the abundance of cuties in the cast right now, Belushi 5.0 is definitely one of my favorite parts of the show. I can't wait till he blows up, maybe then I'll be able to remember his damn name.
-
Even McDonald's cant afford to just give away two slices of blah blah blah i'm just kidding

Anyone remember that Pam Anderson/Goat Boy/Remember the 80's? My dad and I still yell "Zibbideebop!" and "My life peaked at 25!"
-
she is hot...and funny
-
Was in an improv practice group with my roommate last summer at Upright Citizens Brigade. I don't know how I missed that.
-
They couldn't get Fred Savage because? Is he busy filming Daddy Day Camp 2: Die Harder? Does Sunny really take up that much of his time? They needed Fred in the opening monologue, or has he actually grown up and doesn't just resemble a big version of the famous kid like most kid actors.
-
????? Who the fuck are they???? Is it really that hard to book real bands these days?
-
was essentially impressions? Though the digital short was pretty great.
-
Don't get it never will.
Total garbage. -
are my gods robed in flesh. Best new act of 08 imho! See also: Band of Horses

She is definitely on the list of hottest SNL cast members. But it occurred to me, since Chris Elliot was part of the cast for about thirty-seconds in the 90s, Abbey is the first child of a cast member to be a cast member. The closest they've had is brothers of cast members: Jim Belushi and Brian Doyle Murray.

I was consistently enjoying myself. A lot of the sketch ideas were just original ideas for once, and none of them took themselves that seriously. Like how they more or less admitted "two first names" is a stupid idea.
-
Liza Minnelli slapped Wiig's ass. Is there something wrong with me?
-
The only outright misfire this evening was the "Two first names" skit, but usually there's three or four pointless pothead (can't think of anyone else who'd think that was funny...maybe Andy Samberg) time-wasters like that.

Will be watching and taking notes. He is an evangelist. He has strong views on a lot of things. He has been chosen to deliever invocation. at obamas ceremony, in two weeks time.

I actually thought this was going to be filler shit. But the Doogie Housier dig short was really good remake of the title song. Taylor swift was hot enough to make me watch both her songs. I did like the first two names bit (David Lee leg raise was the funniest part). I liked the musical meeting where fiddler jumped off the roof. Very solid ep. Marky mark in the monologue was a long joke to say hi to your how I met your mother, but I have to admit it made me smile.
-
"Tomato and I want to hit the town". Could not stop laughing.
-
Is how they very often, usually even, will have a guest host and not have a skit poking fun at their show or movie. Like Hugh Laurie as host and no House skit, for example. It boggles the mind and frustrates.
On the brighter side, I like the two new women on the show. Great Maddow impersonation. -
Can't say I've ever heard the chick sing a song ... but my penis doesn't care. I still want to fuck her silly.
-
I have an audio recording of it. He did a great job.
-
Fleet Foxes ... oh they were only in the top 5 of like every fucking 2008 music list, that's all. Try putting away your Nickleback albums for a change.
-
...the funniest female cast member on the show now. She's the funniest cast member period!
She may even be the funniest female cast member ever, if you exclude Gilda Radner.
Funniest male cast member ever: Eddie Murphy.
Least funny cast member ever: Mebbe Horatio Sanz, or maybe Danitra Vance. -
Oh my god....Fleet Foxes are so fucking amazing. Best disc of 2008 by far (their EP is pretty amazing as well).
My ears will be so happy. Plus with Rosario, my cock will be happy as well.
SPANK SPANK SPLOOGE -
Abbey Elliott talking out of the side of her mouth, like her dad does when he's doing an "impression."
-
have u ever actually seen rachel maddow speak?
