'A Song Boasting You Are Not Afraid Of Them!' Drew Barrymore Joins The Six-Timers Club!! SNL 35.3!!
I am – Hercules!!
I think Jimmy Fallon is married to Drew Barrymore’s producing partner. Also, he works in the building, so I’d be shocked if he didn’t turn up somewhere.
I wouldn’t put it past that Juno girl to show up as well.
But will Darrell Hammond make another guest appearance?
Regina Spektor is the musical guest:
11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.

I was beginning to think it was a rerun this week.
-
He really needs to get his pauses and "uh's" in there.

Just noticed the rattlesnake snare in the theme music this year.

"I totally just got shot!"
-
...Tom Green.
-
I'll bet the real thing will be better than Drew's movie. Juno needs to shut the fuck up. Wiig and Barrymore will be all buddy buddy and laugh at each others inside jokes that only they get. It will be a great show *rolls eyes*
-
They replaced the A-Team theme in the Windows7 commercial with Final Countdown. Lame.
-
What did I just say. aren't they so funny together.
-
Why not Jamie Fox?
-
...this has been staggeringly awful. What are the writers thinking?
-
1st cameo
-
La Revista Di La Television Con Vinny Vedecci!!!
-
and has had a longer and more successful career in film than than pretty much anyone her age...just a thought.
-
This could be funny.
-
Kennan Thompson was a Wayans Bro.

Couldn't he have stayed at home?? http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/

should be sterilized.
seriously YOU are the problem. -
go watch whatever PBS high brow brit bullshit is on. Oh and castrate and sodomize yourself. You choose the order.
-
Mad Men isn't on till tomorrow, why don't you go have a microbrew and debate Proust?
-
based on that Youtube video, I never want to again.
-
Where's her awkward gyroscope outfit? LAST WEEK WE HAD AWKWARD GYROSCOPE OUTFITS!!!
-
That was the first Gilly skit that I liked. OH, and Mexican ghosts!
-
with no problem. where is the challenge in that?
-
Like Anthony Kiedis off-key!
-
Everyone else is too smug and Hader knows we're all in on the joke.
-
a guy who can do obama? there are tons on youtube who can, and im sure they can do other minor bits to make their salaries worthwhile that big, obama has done nothing bit sucked cuz fred's obama sucked
-
David Allen Grier. all others fail by default.
-
I was thinking the same thing, MacReady. But Hader rocks Carville every time. Scrooge McDuck was amusing, but that duck bill with Samberg's snaggle teeth disturbed me.
-
The show sucked since ________ left... blah... blah... blah.
-
Pro wrestling every freaking afternoon at four.
-
And, even more amazing live. But that wasn't one of my favorite songs of hers, nor a particularly great performance. Watch this one, for example: http://tinyurl.com/yhl8rfn

scored for killing off that frosted tipped flame-shirt wearing douche. minor!
-
Uh, yay?
-
Child clowns commercial

Nice try Tori Amos 2.0 .

Looks like Forte had an issue cutting his ring finger's nail.
by shermdawg
Looked painfully short.
-
He wasn't even trying tonight. That was fucking horrible.
-
Third straight weak episode. I laughed exactly once tonight and that was at the new girl's Anna Faris impression, which was spot on. This show has major problems. Many talented cast members being wasted by stupid sketches with bad writing. James Carville again? Scrooge McDuck? Really?! What is going on with Fred Armisen? His Obama accent has all of a sudden disappeared. I do think Jenny Slate shows promise.
-
That guy who played Toofer on 30 Rock who is barely seen on that show anyway so I'm sure he has the time.If it were up to me they'd fire everyone over 35 on this show and start fresh. There are too many barely-funny people who are making long careers on this show. They need more people like Andy Samberg, young and full of energy and ideas.
-
Really? What has she done noteworthy other than dropping a F-bomb and taking a spot that should belong to Watkins? The Ana Faris chick was Abby Elliott.
-
Playboy.
-
I was always pretty impressed with Firestarter. Sure, ET has a great pedigree, but she didn't really do much. She starred in Firestarter, and she carried that movie on pretty much an adult level opposite of George C Scott. How old was she in that, like 10?
-
STRAINED.
-
But the werewolf episode of Psych was on USA again and I missed it on Friday. Also, whenever I see David Naughton in something I have to watch my DVD of "Midnight Madness".......FAGABEEFE!!
-
And why did they add those two new girls? Maybe Lorne gets off on newbies begging for screen time, and fucking over Abby wasn't even giving him a half-chub anymore?
-
"Say what?"..."Oh no you didn't!"..."Damn, girl!"..."Say what?"..."Oh no you didn't!"..."Damn, girl!"..."Say what?"..."Oh no you didn't!"..."Damn, girl!"...
-
Is funny. She needs a good recurring character.
-
The ONLY film, besides ET, where I don't want to rip Barrymores fucking head off. She actually makes that movie a little better.
-
Stat!
-
tonight. Abby Elliot was good to as Anna Farris.
-
Have you ever seen the first couple seasons of snl- particularly Chevy Chase's President Ford? What a great impression that was. How about Dan Aykroyd's Mustachioed Nixon?
-
sometimes he gets fairly close with the impression - at least the cadence is there; his voice isn't deep enough. the weird thing, last night, it was like he just gave up even trying - he sped through the bit and sounded like an average white guy.
-
Fred's Obama is kind of close, that's not the problem though.His impression is just so uninteresting. The funniest SNL presidents have always been over the top or ridiculous. They didn't even bother trying to make Chevy Chase look like Ford, it was his over top pratfalls that made the skit. Dana Carvey's Bush sr. was perfect mixing impression with parody. Hell, even Will Ferrel's impression wasn't even close, but I always thought it was funny.
-
say what you will about how shitty MAD TV was, but his Obama impression was very good
-
Watch old clips, if they're available, of his Obama impression during the debates, he actually does a pretty good job. Which is why it's a little confusing watching him now, as someone above said, he's not even trying, not just giving up on the voice, but cadence, mannerisms, he's genuinely not doing anything. It's just watching Fred Armisen in a suit. There must be a story, maybe he just doesn't want to do Obama anymore and is trying to get fired?
-
I'd watch it on Hulu if someone at NBC/SNL didn't have a retarded bug up their asses that allows them to upload the thursday show but not saturday...but since NBC is retarded like that, torrent plz?
-
Watching it right now.
-
Unless you're really really bored...which I am. I really should read a book or volunteer at a local charity or something I suppose.
-
How the hell can daily show and colbert do 4 quality shows a week on current events and snl can't do 10 minutes a week? Time for new writers.
-
Thanks "thelordofhell" for the "Midnight Madness" name drop, I am the only person I know who owns the DVD.
Neil
P.S. Fred needs to stop doing Obama, he isn't even trying anymore :( -
Drew Barrymore is not particularly attractive? With her weird droopy mouth and face not really grown fully into her skull. Stroke victim. However, yeah, she was good in ConfessionsO.A.D.M. Charlie's Angels was perhaps one of the worst movies I have ever seen. My God.
-
have either been there too long and don't give a flying fuck or are really smug, well connected little pricks who all got their jobs through nepotism rather than actual talent. Meanwhile, I'm sure they reject plenty of people who have 'it', but just can't get through the door cause daddy doesn't do Lorne's taxes or whatever the fuck. Because really, HOW can it be this bad? There have to be better writers out there, right? Seriously... right?
-
Used to be the best segement any given night. Now its the worst. Drew is pretty funny. Justin Long's cameo was the funniest part of the whole show... 'Alright, Alright, Alright'
-
Comparing Armisen's Obama to Chevy Chase's Ford or Aykroyd's Nixon? First, part of the joke of Chase's Ford is that he was playing Chevy Chase playing Ford. He didn't even try to impersonate Ford. As for Aykroyd, his Nixon impersonation was great. Just because he didn't want to shave his moustache for the show doesn't mean he did anywhere as bad of a job as Armisten.
If you can't do the political character impersonation like Armisten, you gotta be over the top so people don't care like Chevy Chase with Ford or Will Ferrell with Janet Reno. Armisten does neither. -
The Obama address every week? At least then it would be funny.
-
Even with several great cast members, the bad ones bring it down so much. Poor writing doesn't help. Meyers smarmy Update is the perfect cure for insomnia.
-
Looks pretty blah. Tho I still get a ferocious woodie from Kristen wiig, and I'm glad she wised up and got her old nose back. Dang, I was really hoping to see Kristen revise her lesbian reporter character this year with Michaela W. as the object of her interest. That would have rocked, they had truly great chemistry together. But Lorne Michaels pooped that party real good, thanks asshole! At least Abby is coming into her own, great Anna F! - see what happens when you DON'T fire your most promising players for no reason except that you're an idiot!?
-
You answered your own question. Daily Show and Colbert have ALL the talented political comics based in NYC. SNL gets the rejects.Also, this season is turning into the Kristen Whig Show. Gilda got a lot of screen time back in the day, but so did Jane Curtin. The one who got shorted was Lauraine Newman. Let one of the other girls play, will you?The Italian intervier was funny the first time i saw it, when it was the Mexican DJ on "Fridays" back in the early 1980's, and the second time I saw it when Joe Piscapo did his Mexican Tom Snyder.-----later-----m
-
Agh. I actually like at least part of SNL every week and, on the whole, enjoy it far more than most of the posts here tend to be (though I'm not a total fanantic about like Herc), but PLEASE, no more Gilly skits! They are the worst recurring character skit this decade. I'd rather suffer through another Horatio Sanz "Carol" skit than Gilly. Gilly is a skit with no punch line. The "what." "sorry." is meant to be, but it's just not funny. Then Will just repeats the same "Gilly? Gilly...? GILLY...?" bit and they use the same punch line over and over. It's a skit whose "joke" is annoying and then repetitively annoying. The only slightly funny bit about the skit is Kenan's characters. And when Kenan is the funniest thing about a skit, you know it's either in trouble or incredibly rare. Gilly is not rare. Ugh.
-
I kind of agree, Gilly is probably Kristen's weakest skit, I'm surprised they brought her back so many times. But worse than the never ending "I'm Cayyyyyyrol!!!!!!!!" punishments - er, I mean skits? No I still have nightmares about that one.
I'll bet they're pushing Gilly, because it's so easy to write, it's the same dialogue every time. I hope she shelves Gilly, and brings back Penelope and Aunt Linda.
