January Comes Early To SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!

Published at:  Nov 15, 2009 12:22:31 AM CST





I am – Hercules!!

Howard Stern on Wednesday morning handed a big endorsement to last Saturday’s Taylor Swift SNL. He said he was particularly impressed with Kristin Wiig and AICN talkback whipping boy Kenan Thompson. “He’s actually the funniest guy on there,” said the shock jock.

I don’t know that Thompson is funnier than Bill Hader but I will say I do routinely find Thompson dang hilarious.

The Swift episode scored SNL its biggest ratings of the season to date, even though it had to compete against the premiere of Fox’s “The Wanda Sykes Show.” I’m glad to hear it, because that Frankenstein-driven “Twilight” parody deserved a wide sampling.

My favorite sketches from last week:















Tonight another tall hot blonde, January Jones (“Mad Men, “Pirate Radio”), hosts with musical guest Black Eyed Peas. Tune in to see if Fred Armisen's new bride, Elisabeth Moss, stars in a "Mad Men" sketch.

Next week brings Joseph Gordon Levitt (“(500) Days of Summer,” “G.I. Joe,” “Women in Trouble”) and the Dave Matthews Band.

11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.

    Best skit was that Access Hollywood rip off

    by thefug

    The best skit from last week's episode was that Access Hollywood rip off with Hader and Wiig interviewing that Taylor Swift chick. And that skit was only good because Hader is just so damn good at facial expressions - and spit takes. I don't know if SNL will ever get it and realize that Hader is the most talented cast member they've had since Will Ferrell. But I guess it took them a while to realize how good Ferrell was.

    And who cares what Howard Stern has to say about anything? That guy's just a piece of shit. That guy's got about as much legitimacy judging comedy as Rush Limbaugh does, but I wouldn't think Rush's take on what works and what doesn't on SNL would get on here.

    Anyway, January Jones is hot. But Betty Draper is by far the worst character on Mad Men. And it's not just because she's a frigid bitch, it's because every time the show focuses on her, it just get dragged down.

    I don't even know if I'll watch this week. But if Christina Hendricks was hosting - or if Jon Hamm was hosting again, you bet your ass I would.

    Herc and Stern's tastes: poor

    by jt kirk

    Kristen Wiig: sucksKenan Thompson: sucksHerc: sucksSNL: lifelessTaylor Swift: experienced in skit comedy. There was some life to last week's airing, but the writing staff really needs to be shaken up still, most of the material was not the source of the humor. Granted, neither was an entire skit ending with the cast unable to keep it together, but at least you could see WHY they couldn't keep it together. The promos for this week's airing have been nothing but bland, as if they have no idea who January Jones is either.As for Wanda Sykes' show, it was cute but clearly needed more time to gel and more booze.

    Christina Hendricks

    by thrillhaus

    All I can say is wow. She is the dopest lady on Mad Men as far as I'm concerned. Her character is more interesting than Betty and she would be a much more compelling SNL guest in my opinion. I'm not sure that Jones' Draper is a poorly wrought character...its just that the infantalized 60s housewife is so boring and done better by Julianne Moore in Far from Heaven. Despite the quibbling, I think Mad Men is the best show on TV.

    Howard Stern has awful taste

    by blanket-man

    I love his show, but when it comes to TV, music and movies, Stern generally raves about stuff I can't stand, and vice versa. When he brought up the T. Swift SNL, I thought sure he was going to tear into it - couldn't believe he was heaping praise on it. I sat through the whole episode, and barely chuckled until the very last skit. Swift was game and didn't stare at the cue cards all night (See: Chris Walken), but the material was the weakest this season... Hope it's better tonight.

    by burnednotice_dude

    I am one of the few people that is able to keep in contact with Lorne until the show actually begins. He always is making changes up until the last minute. Very rarely he will make changes during the actual airing. It does happen. Again, I stress rarely. Anyway, word has it that a couple of sketches are already scratched from the line up. Also, unless something happens be prepared for an "unexpected" guest to show up. Hopefully traffic won't spoil it. You really need to be better prepared before posting. If it is an issue give me a call and I can see what I can do for you. Have a good day.

    Being a good actor does not mean you are good on SNL

    by larry of arabia

    Note how good she is in the pre-taped bit just now. She's a great actress on film, but that does not always translate to live TV. The best hosts are often people with good stage credits as well. Walken and Alec Baldwin, for example, both have serous stage chops. Natalie Portman was trained on stage. Rare is the film performer who comes out and just kills like Tom Hanks. I always feel terrible when some actors come on and die. It's tough up there, and you never know until you are up.

What thursday night show would you prefer the talkbackers discuss? I've read all your garbage but have yet to read a post from you that shows you are a FAN of something. Sure, you name drop good shows, but you bring ZERO substance to the table... and you're forcing the supernatural 'love fest' comment, seeing as there was barely any supernatural talk this week and some actually said it was a weak episode. Get off your high horse and be a fan who comes here for the right reasons--not a negetive loser douche who thinks he's better than everyoine else. Keep on compensating for whatever it is that is lacking in your life. you may have forgotten--this is a site for FANS of shit, but the pathetic talkbackers like you feel compelled for reasons i will never understand, to criticize the other fans and what they like. get a life you sorry, sad person.

    That's the problem with SNL this season. Abby isn't being given enough to do. The 2 new chick just blow, but not in the good way. Bobby needs a solid character all his own.

    Right now, they're relying too heavily on Wiig, Hader, & Sudeikis.

    I mean, really. Is it just me or have Samberg, Meyers, & Forte not been used as well or as much as they could have been this season? I love me some Wiig, but she's like chocolate. Great in controlled doses, but you're not going to have it for every meal.

    Speaking of Wiig... WTF was up with that Red Lob sketch?!? Is it me or did that shit never, EVER end? Glad she dropped top for that one because that sketch was a bad 90s flasback. Too long. Goes nowhere. Can't seem to die soon enough....... Kinda like January Jones.

    My only legit laughs were the BEP going wall WWE on Kathie Lee & Samberg's one gag toilet short. That's it. Everything else just went NOWHERE.

    What would help SNL?

    by dasinfogod

    Plain and simple: bring me the head of Seth Meyers. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but profoundly un-funny, laughs at his own jokes, and fails to exploit the talents of what is a fairly good cast who try to rise above the really weak material he oversees. It's like he's never progressed beyond college level amateur theatricals and frat-house hijinks with his housemates. God, I miss Herb Sargent. Is Jim Downey still ambulatory enough to step in and take over the reigns again?

    The Black Eyed Peas are a singularity of cluelessness...

    by burnhollywood

    ...They distort the fabric of space in their immediate vicinity until it folds in on itself and creates a sucky time/space manifold. An odd side effect of this phenomenon is that middle aged white women peering into this distortion will perceive it as "cool" and be possessed by the need to purchase and play their CDs.

    It's like you took two guys with a pitcher of beer in them from any fucking bar in the entire country and put them on national television and told them to be "clever". If two guys singing off-key was funny, Karaoke would be the national pastime rather than a suicidally depressing endurance sport.
    They should have just had Abby bend over in front of the camera for five minutes straight, then do a repeat performance at the end of the show instead of that one last BEP diarrhea blast.

    by american mythos

    I really love January Jones. She's, to me, the most beautiful part of Mad Men and I was really looking forward to seeing her in a whole 'nother light. Unfortunately she brought too much Betty Draper to what is supposed to be a comedy show. She was low key and somber throughout the entire 45 minutes I did watch, and the writing she had to work with, while not awful, certainly wasn't up to par with last week's. Tonight's episode was actually enough to dull the sheen on January Jones in my eyes. I hope Joseph Gordon-Levitt has some better stuff to work with when he hosts, but I think the writers may have blown their wad for the month with the Taylor Swift episode. Good luck, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

    Howard Stern as a barometer of what is good on TV?

    by rob0729

    I am a faithful listener of Howard Stern, but Stern has the worst taste in what is good on TV. Some of his favorite shows on TV include The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The OC (when it was on), and the Vampire Diaries. When it comes to TV watching, Stern has the same taste as a 14 year old girl.

    by jt kirk

    She did some local skit comedy troupe thing when she was a kid, I am told. She seemed comfortable with the medium and wasn't just constantly looking off-camera to the cue cards, so I buy it.

    Christ did last night's show suck ass. January Jones was incapable of even figuring out which camera and cue cards to point her head at, much less how to read her monologue and how to stop giggling throughout the show. Nearly every sketch was an overly loud, under-funny impression based on performance rather than writing (and the performances couldn't carry it). Kristen Wiig had 1 segment that never ended, same bit over and over, and it was a bit she's already milked before. Seth Meyers had 1 funny gag in WU and he laughed over it. I had to fast-forward through multiple sketches. And farting Grace Kelly could have worked with some writing, but instead got stuck on 1 joke. This is why I stopped regularly watching for the last decade. No more second chances.

    That would mean that she's 700 years old.

    January Jones was awful. I she's beautiful, I love her on Mad Men, but she's one of the worst hosts in recent memory. She seemed like a frightened little child in a middle school production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (obviously in the role of Sally Brown). But in total fairness, it's worth pointing out that ROBERT DeNIRO is also one of the worst hosts in recent memory. Do with that what you will.
