"SNL” RETURNS WITH BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS
UPCOMING SHOWS:
January 30 – Jon Hamm / Michael Bublé;
February 7 – Ashton Kutcher / Them Crooked Vultures
New York, NY - January 22, 2010 - "Saturday Night Live" returns with original shows on consecutive weekends starting January 30 with Jon Hamm returning to studio 8H, and musical guest Michael Bublé.
The January 30th show features Jon Hamm, the Golden Globe-winner and star of the award-winning drama "Mad Men," taking his second turn as host of “SNL.” He has also received SAG and Emmy nominations for his work on the critically lauded cable series. Additionally, Hamm earned an Emmy nod for his guest-starring turn on NBC's "30 Rock." Hamms' upcoming films include “The Town,” directed by and starring Ben Affleck, “Sucker Punch,” directed by Zac Snyder, and “Howl” with James Franco, which is currently playing at the Sundance Film Festival.
Grammy winning recording artist and world-class entertainer, Michael Bublé, will take the 8H stage as musical guest. His current release, "Crazy Love," debuted recently at number one on the Billboard Top 200 Chart remains a Top Twenty album. Bublé will also be performing "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" with special guest Sharon Jones. The Canadian native has sold over 22 million albums worldwide and his current single, "Haven't Met You Yet," just jumped to No. 1 on several radio formats. His previous CD "Call Me Irresponsible" was a number one album in over l5 countries and his 2005 release, "It's Time," holds the record as the longest running title to remain on the Billboard Traditional Jazz charts - a full two years. He is scheduled to start his "Crazy Love" concert Tour in March 2010.
SNL welcomes back actor/producer, Ashton Kutcher, February 6 his fourth time as host. He can next be seen opposite Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, and more in the upcoming film “Valentine’s Day,” in theaters February 12. Kutcher’s previous credits include “What Happens in Vegas,” The Butterfly Effect,” “Guess Who,” and the hit television series “Punk’d” and “That 70’s Show.”
Them Crooked Vultures, rock’s premiere new supergroup, will make their debut as musical guest. The group consists of seven-time SNL veteran Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and, in his first appearance on the SNL stage, the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. The band’s self-titled debut album was released in fall of 2009, entering the Billboard charts at number 12 and remaining in the upper reaches ever since, while its debut single “New Fang” has hit number 10 on Billboard’s Alternative chart and number 14 on their Mainstream Rock Tracks.
"Saturday Night Live" is from SNL Studios in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels. Steve Higgins and Marci Klein are producers. Ken Aymong is supervising producer. Seth Meyers is head writer. Don Roy King directs.
Armisen was the star of what I think may have been my favorite sketch of the last new episode:

Herc, that probably was the WORST sketch of the season so far. As I told my girlfriend when we first watched it, both of us stunned by its incredible lameness, "THAT encapsulates everything that is wrong with 'SNL' these days. And I'm sure it will now be a skit on at least every third episode."
-
is good shit. At first I thought the album was messy, which it kind of is, but it has grown on me. Good stuff. I'm not a fan of Kutcher, so I will probably pass altogether. I can't really remember too much about Hamm hosting, so that's probably not a good thing. I can see having Hamm, who is relevant, but why Kutcher? Does he even have a movie coming out? I'm glad you read all this and then asked yourself why the hell I am blabbing and "Who cares!?" I'm that bored.
-
Wrong fucking date for the February episode! Idiots. The show is *Saturday* Night Live, it's been airing for as long as I've been alive minus 2 months, that's 35 years this year. And they don't know it airs pretty much every week on SATURDAY?!?
-
Herc.... Herc.... Herc man.....
... ... ... ...WTF -
at a damn small theater - a secret show for their CD release. It was life-changing.
-
Seriously depressing. There were no jokes to it. It was just loud obnoxious noises.
-
Armisen and Kristin Wiig represent all that is the current SNL: lame and NOT funny.
-
A black mark on a resume. Now it's like slumming.
-
is TIMBERLAKE?!?!??
-
Tickets to the show here in charlotte are 50 bucks, I'm sure its an amazing show, but it doesnt seem worth $50 a head to hear them play their cd, you would think they could throw in a zepplin/QOTSA/foo fighters song or 2, maybe stretch the performance out to be a little longer, but looking at the set lists from other shows, it doesnt look like thats gonna happen
-
Riley? Really? com'on
-
that the Riley "theme song" is a rehash of the Gilly "theme song"? Apparently when we have a lame skit let's use the same stupid theme song for the same stupid premise of a skit.
-
Maybe I just dont "get it", but SNL lately has been tired and unfunny.
-
marriage to Demi Moore?
-
when Kutcher hosts.
-
Do you mean October 2009?
-
I misread the date of the marriage.
-
NC? Me too.
-
NBC sucks. Why is SNL still on? Who stays home on Saturday nights? Leno sucks. I hate everyone! Just sayin'.........
-
I'm always disappointed that Jon Hamm doesn't seem as cool as Don Draper. And I'm also always disappointed that Ashton Kutcher was born
-
Beat me to the punch... ;-)
-
maybe he could teach a few writing classes to the staff.
-
He one of those that more famous for who he's married to and what he does off-screen than anything he does on-screen.

I'm also always disappointed that Ashton Kutcher was born
by future help
"As well" -Adam Samberg(sp?)
-
I figured anyone lurking an "SNL" talkback probably would care about that. Personally, "Parks & Rec" is only my third-favorite Thursday night NBC comedy. "30 Rock" and "Community" are both much funnier, while "The Office" needs to be put out of its misery.
-
will Ashton stop to make a lame Twitter post about it?
-
way back in the day was funny as shit, idk if he was hostin or it was a cameo it was great
-
Keeps getting better and better. I especially love Ron, Tom, and Andy. Leslie is growing on me though. I agree, 30 Rock and Community are still better, but I like the fit Parks and Rec has become. I never got into the US Office as a fan of the original. It is funny, but I just don't care about it for some reason.
-
I watched 'em, but I sure as hell don't remember them.
-
The "Riley" sketch suffered from bad pacing, overacting from Armisen, and overusing the shock word "BITCH!" so much - the audience became tired of it before the sketch was half over.
-
I will get flack for this but I will also stand by this statement; Taylor Swift has been the best host so far this season. I don't care for her music but she was a surprisingly entertaining host, I was impressed.
-
I thought Weaver was better. Seems to me is that when SNL gets hosts with some good acting background training the show seems to shine a little better. This is regardless of the skits shown.

'What's Up With That' is the only SNL skit I laugh at
by chuck_chuckwalla
Others are amusing, some just downright sad.
-
...and SNL just hasn't had it. Every time the talkbacks say it's funny again I give it even more chances. But I sometimes sit there for the entire show and literally do not laugh a single time. Excited they go Them Crooked Vultures on the show, though. I'll watch that week for them... or at least Hulu it.
-
Now I see he is on Mad Men. I understand that it good show, but what happened to stars hosting SNL?
-
If Wiig isn't in the skit, it will either be mediocre or unfunny. She immediately elevates every skit she's in.
-
She was pretty good, gorgeous too, she has gotten better with age! Best opening monologue so far this season belongs to JGL, "make em' laugh!"
-
yeah, when are they bringing Buck Henry back?
-
Most awful suck ass repeat skit ever!
-
Gotta love Jason Sudaekis' crazy dancing in a red tracksuit.
-
holy crap such a horrible skit.
-
Dolph Lundgren should host.
-
have both dulled w/age.
Granted, the show has it's moments - especially during election years - but that cleverness & biting satiric edge it once had on a weekly basis hasn't been seen in years. It's like watching comedians who were once truly funny turn into sad carictures of themselves while desperately clinging to their past stardom. Sad really. But all good things... -
Don't get it, never have.
-
Every single person on the planet: "Wow, the Riley 'BITTCHH' sketch really sucked." Herc: "I decry that this was the best SNL skit from last year ever forged!!!" (posts video). He's baiting you, people to deliberately make himself seem cooler and more elite. Don't bother to respond to it.
-
Yeah, Jason in the red jump suit is hilarious. One of the few skits that everybody can participate in. I understand why some people might not dig it.
-
I never laughed so hard at any SNL sketch. Yeah it is low brow...so what. Funny ass shit. What up wit dat is great when Kennan does the interview and is singing the last bit the person just said. Riley was funny too..BIIITCH!I laugh at stupid shit though. Watch fuckin PBS if you want some stuffy cross dressing comedy ya fuckin fag.
-
...is geting the hottest girlfriend a guy can wish!!!! Just google her name and check her pictures : Luisana Lopilato !!! I dont know how he did it, but he deserves my respect about it!!!!
-
Now that's worht a headline.. but it's not wait who is this hoster???? FI2DC..
-
Jesus. I mean...why not Gilly? Why not CAAAAROL?? Or anything with Kenan Thompson??? Any of those, while still terrible, would be better than that Riley bullshit. I was really annoyed by the fact that Armisen did that sketch. He's funnier than that.
-
Pure genius. I'm gonna tune in tonight just to see Hamm again. He did a pretty solid episode, from what I recall.
-
He's on that mad men show. The most overrated TV show in history.
-
And was really just a "FUCK YOU" from Lorne to the Watkins supporters by giving the worst possible knockoff of an already horrible recurring character (Gilly) a "bitch" catchphrase.
-
he sounded like that villain's fat sidekick in Care Bears. But the skit got old after a few seconds.
-
I just miss Watkins. :'(
-
...I can certainly appreciate their intentions with the character.
-
THAT saved the cold open.
-
Yeah, except for that Fraser shot.
-
Maybe January Jones jinxed him.
-
That few minutes of Don Draper was better than the full 90 minutes with January Jones

They really need to get Michael Emerson to host this season.
by shermdawg
Enough with people from shows no one watches but critics and Emmy voters. Or if they must, get the redhead with the ballin' tittays.
-
Glad somebody slapped Wiig. =)
-
Jan 30, 2010 10:45:21 PM CST
Was that a reference to the forbidden Martin Lawrence monologue?
by the winged doucheman
Y'all need to wash yo asses.
-
Indeed it was.
-
"Make the skit funny... but not that funny, or we'll have to top ourselves week after week"
Oh, and now it's Wiig playing an eccentric lady with a repeated catchphrase. *cough* -
One plus.....but Wiig plays the same character, basically, every time.
Anyway, this is getting old fast..... -
...they wouldn't have to overuse Wiig because Watkins' replacements suck.
-
This sketch just won't end
-
Wiig was fuckin' scene poison
-
How the fuck did this survive the dress rehearsals?
-
Lost Boys
-
From the best show on television to one of the worst. What the fuck?
-
Yeah, Hamm's not gonna live that one down.
-
Started OK, but went nowhere.....
-
sold the Sergio sketch to me.
-
The Bioshock 2 commercial, that is. Certainly not anything in the show, thus far.
-
Bored to Death was still on
-
SERGIO!
-
...like the deserts miss the rain.
-
Captain America uniform
-
For several reasons
-
Brilliant!!!
-
They always mess that up.....
-
even that stupid ass Italian talk show sketch is mildly funny cause of Hader
-
that shorts thing. Tobias Funk would be proud.
-
But Robert Byrd's flapper outfit was hilarious!
-
...in the Michelob Ultra commercial.
-
Anyone else see Travolta drop the "Royale with Cheese" line in From Paris with Love? I'm fuckin offended!
-
Part one of the Abby Elliott watch.
Oh yeah she was the cute teenager in the monologue.
Two times. Slow down, might wear her out. -
He's so happy that he is singing about heartbreak??? This is worse than Hollywood week on American Idol.
-
Gyroscope outfit.
-
Should I know?
-
seriiously, this is terrible
-
Lonely ladies who haven't tipped their third bottle of wine this cold Saturday night are wishing they had a TV by the bathtub.
-
Embarrassing.
-
Don't make a target of yourself buddy.
-
I'm more than a decade younger than you and I don't know either. Cougars are probably dropping their thongs over this cheery toilet stain though.
-
You saw all you need to now. He has been around for over 5 years but its just that Rat Pack throw back bullshit. nothing special. I think he is a herpe on Vegas' dickroot.
-
I wasn't wearing my glasses.
-
Please!!
-
You are absolutely right about American Idol. When that Carly Simon lookin' girl from season seaven was singing Dolly Parton's "Jolene" with a big grin on her face, I wanted to reach through the screen and slap her. The bitch is gonna run off with the love of your life and you're smiling about it? WHAT THE HELL??? I mean she'd get all emotional and tearful for every other performance, but when it came to THAT song? Nope. The same can be said of the kid that sang Suspicious Minds earlier in that season.
-
when we get him in the water!"
-
With Hamm as James Mason again! That was one of my favourite things ever.
-
And when I complain about Watkin's replacements sucking, I'm not including her, unless were talking about her Barbara Walters impression.
-
Oompa Loompa?
-
and the even oranger (oranger?) skin color, amazing!
-
Google it.....
-
You lost me with in depth American idol history but got me right back by not knowing who this waste of spray tan is.
-
Haven't seen it, but can't miss it being discussed on the Internets.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S61FYL40MBo
-
and "he's not alien", coming up...
-
Game Time!!!
-
Every time.
-
Really???!!!
-
that's classic alien.
-
Don't particularly like it, but the alternative could definitely be worse. And tonight was actually one of the better installments.
-
at least it wasn't yet another one of those skits, but the show's not over yet...
-
their otherworldly scrutinization of the little globe
-
I didn't like the inclusion of more aliens. I think the whole Greg's an alien thing worked better when it was just Hader doing his thing. Hamm was completely wasted in that sketch tonight.
-
Kinda sad - background talent guy had starring role in that one-season show, "Lovespring International" - 2006, or so?
-
It would seem...
-
There, y'happy now?
-
Not bad at all
-
Not bad at all
-
post midnight.
-
back to back gold
-
spoke to early, armisen is wearing a wig
-
I don't know whether it's a good thing or not that I laughed my ass off during that. Or with the closet organizer one. I thought they were hilarious.
-
...that one came out of nowhere!
-
just wow.
-
just wow.
-
damn... that was lame
-
We can't find better writers.
-
they gave the closet organizer.
-
And neither did that court skit - although it started out OK
-
Kenan Thompson already holds the title of unfunniest cast member in my heart. Don't try and steal that away from him..........BITCH.
They could have come up with something better to follow Closet Organizer and Hamm & Buble because those were pretty much gold. -
Plus it doesn't get funnier than somebody getting douched with water twice. add Hamm and Beyonce with a mustache "Lets do this" and you got funny.
-
been pretty funny this season. Yeah. Color me shocked. The guy was death on celluloid. Now, he's had some of the better sketches this year. ... ... Armisen & Wiig..... Quickly outliving their usefulness to this cast.
-
You can't sing into a microphone with your ear. Try holding it in front of your mouth when you sing. That might help with the people who can't read lips.
-
on the side of her head... it's hypnotic
-
underwear.
-
Why's he playing guitar for Bubbly?
-
it's distracting me from Bubbly's - whatever he's doing, dancing is it?
-
I used to like both of them. Can't stand either one now.
I actually audibly groan whenever either one is on. -
Is Buble channeling Elvis???
What's with that Jerry Seinfeld shit? -
Kristen Wiig started out being my absolute favourite. She's still great in films and in the occasional sketch but they can't keep only using her when they need a female lead. It gets tired after a while.
-
i hit mute the second i saw buble's picture. is that sharon jones with him? if so she just lost some major points with me. just put her on with the dap kings instead.
-
Wiig would have to ham it up less.
-
Awesome.
-
will forte is the best thing on the show... and closet organizer forever!
-
GETS HIS SECOND SKETCH IN THE SAME SHOW
-
they're referencing a previous skit! This is like some meta-skit thing.
-
What I want more of from SNL. Irreverant, off the wall, and even played to an earlier sketch.
-
Not necessarily well done.
-
I liked Closet Organizer much better as one of those out of nowhere WTF commercials that makes no sense and then goes away. The followup in the bar was just...not funny.
-
only when it was brand new though.
-
Accurate skit.
-
...making shitty commentaries on stores that aren't like that outside their limited shopping experiences. Add that to the Welcome to Wal-mart and Target Lady sketches.
-
man, NBC really is fourth place
-
This is getting ridiculous.
Does Lorne Michaels even know that the internet exists?
Seriously. What is going on here?
-
Lost any benefit he received from the "Hamm & Buble" skit.
-
EVERYWHERE
-
Will I love "District 9"?????
-
Enjoyed watching with you folks
-
The first Closet Organizer commercial and Hamm & Buble. Flat out awesome. The rest of it? Waste of time.
-
Of all channels...
-
God, I'm 47, and at my parents'. No, I am NOT a geek. (Keep chanting "recession, recession"......)
-
Worked with Linklater - nice guy. Not sure why he did this.....
-
The movie that gave us the crying Vanderbeek meme.
-
Admittedly, all I remember was "TEN!", whipped cream, and "I DON'T WANT....YOUR LIFE!"
-
(Lived 20 years in South Texas - AICN-ville)
-
Holy shit that's brilliant. While we're at it, let's get Terry o Quinn and Sayid too. Hot damn, its about time we had more than Matthew Fox hosting SNL.
-
Worked with Richie - nice guy. Except for all the rape . . .
-
What ever happened to that Dawson guy himself? Everyone on that show but him has gone on to other things.
-
hilarious when he was just pops out like that
-
...not that fat fuck Seth Rogen.
-
Yeah, yeah, I know "SNL skits no good for a full film" (I'm looking at you, MacGruber! Well, maybe.) but there is so much millage you could get out of the space alien is a sportscaster bit that you could easily fill a flick. Uh, as long as it ain't Coneheads, that is...
-
not everything can be gold, sometimes you have to push an idea out of the nest knowing it's not gonna fly. But to milk it into the Nth degree thus killing every last shred of hope for the bit simply so you don't have to do more bits, and then ask the most obnoxious, overused, gimmicky hacks in the cast to carry a concept time and time again, it's just a waste of the resources afforded and the audience's time. Calling back to the Closet Organizer was a cute bit, having the original go on twice as long as it should including a second water gag was not. But garbage like that court sketch, built around an unfunny, uncreative, uninteresting concept to fuel another shitty Fred Armisen character - every producer and writer and participating actor in that sketch and on this show should go door to door apologizing to the audience for wasting their time, and when they get to the homes of employees of their advertisers, they should double apologize for also wasting their money.
-
That courtroom sketch was a textbook example of what shouldn't get past the dress rehearsal. No premise, repetition of unfunny "business," and a complete lack of creativity made me wonder once again how no one seems to understand the right ways to write a sketch.
-
Your one-stop source for absurdist humor is THE DAILY ABSURDIST: http://thedailyabsurdist.blogspot.com/
-
First, start with a bottle of Jagermeister (whichever size is small enough to not kill someone in your weight class), then:
1) Whenever Abby's in a skit, drink the entire bottle!
2) If Abby's not in a skit, wait for the closing credits and drink the entire bottle!
Fun for the whole family. -
can make it on the show. I mean... there are always bad sketches that fall flat, but that sketch was worse than usual, lasted three times longer than the usual bad sketch, required a large set and a lot of the cast to fill in as background. When I see Wiig on the stand and Armisen in drag, I audibly groaned... like here these fuckers come to drag everything to a screeching, unfunny halt. And there's something egotistical about it, because I just can't imagine that they don't realize how unfunny it is, yet it seems like their skits are shoehorned into the show no matter what the cost. Wiig and Armisen are worse than Poehler and Fey, who, even though they had the run of the show before Seth became head writer, were at least somewhat FUNNY. The truth is, this show has become like high school... when Eddie Murphy was on, he had to find a few writers who'd write for him and then when he found a small opportunity to shine, he did so brightly they had to have him on all the time. I highly doubt that would be the case today... funniness is ignored in favor of seniority, which is a RIDICULOUS proposition with something so utilitarian as comedy... you are either funny or you're not. If a new kid comes on that's funnier than the rest of the cast and the writers, it's almost like, "no, no, no... you have to wait your turn," when that person should be put front and center. I always get the feeling that Seth acts like that when new cast members come on with characters on Weekend Update. As though he's doing them a favor and is the arbiter of taste and quality... Tina Fey was the same, there's just something vaguely elitist about them and the way they each treat(ed) the show as head writer and weekend update anchor.
-
Hamm & Bubbly, Closet Organizer, and Snookie does not a whole show make! Please Lorne, retire w/a shred of dignity already...in fact, show that you can still recognize true comedy and offer the job to Conan O'brien on your way out the door. How classy & full circle would that be for the former master to hand the reins to his former student?
-
Hamm and Buble saved the whole show. Also Sergio was great.
-
Parody of him? Song sounds the same...
-
The Riley sketch was pure excrement. At first I thought the kid was going to be like an old man from Brooklyn or something; hacking up a lung and just out of place for his age. Nope. Instead we get bitch over and over. How hilarious.
-
I could have probably watched a whole hour of Don Draper in other tv shows. I liked Hamm and Buble, but it wasn't as funny as Jon Hamm's John Ham, plus I kinda have a hangup about sing-song sketches where monologues are being sung for no reason (same thing bothered me with the shy freddy digital short). And the alien sportscaster thing has never been funny to me, especially when compared to their infinitely funnier ESPN Classics sports caster bit. Anyways, I mostly enjoyed the episode, not the worst way to waste an hour on a sunday night.
-
But he does for remaining in that courtroom sketch like the fucking professional trouper that he is. In that sketch and the piano player sketch, the two weakest of the evening, he still nailed his part. Shit, Kenan flubbed one of the only two lines he had in the whole scene. He MADE the senator sketch ("lump..in my underwear"), the bizarro Drag Me To Hell digital shot (SERGIO!), and of course Hamm & Buble (Now SING!). I've said it before but he has the great comedic talent of reading a straight line funny, and a funny line straight.
-
I actually think Hamm would be a better regular player than nearly everyone on the show right now, save Hader. Dude is fucking professional. How the fuck does this show continue to exist? We know it's been bad before, but there's something else going on now, like I said in a previous post. When the show used to be bad, it would seem like grasping at straws and you'd see the entire cast trying things... now you get Wiig and Armisen skits week after week while much of the rest of the cast is nowhere to be found. Also, there seemed to be an overall awareness of just how bad it was during, say, the Chris Elliot/Garafaoulo season(s?) whereas they seem to display an attitude that things are just peachy keen the last few years.
