‘We’re Never Going To Kiss At This Rate!!’ Zach Galifianakis Hosts SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!
I am – Hercules!!
Zach Galifianakis, the "Bored To Death" regular famous for his recurring roles on the sitcoms “Boston Common” and “Apt. 2F,” and as the nephew of former U.S. Congressman Nick Galifianakis (D-N.C.), hosts SNL for the first time.
I'm certan Harry Shearer loves that Funny Or Die recruited non-SNL player Jim Carrey to do his Ronald Reagan:
Besides Shearer, SNL regulars who played Reagan on the show include Charles Rocket, Joe Piscopo, Randy Quaid and Phil Hartman.
My favorite sketches from last week:
Jude Law hosts next week with musical guest Pearl Jam.
11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.

The other "Reagans" probably disagreed with the politics
by shiftyeyeddog2
Even though it's on Funny or Die, it is most certainly a political ad. ...plus, it's not funny... at alloh, and Aykroyd and Chase look like SHIT

Wow. How long til Akroyd can be a ghost in Ghostbuster 3 without
by kateobviouslydidntgoblack
Not long, from the looks of it. He has celebrity death 2010 written all over him.
-
Everything sucks. Is this show still on? Cunts.
-
His comedy is pretty one-note anti-comedy. I assume he'll be playing for dry, uncomfortable humor the entire show.
-
Whud Up Wid Dat?
-
Wiig, Hader and Forte. I expect to see some absurd, bizarre sketches. I just can't picture Zach doing the 'guest host partakes in the weekly recurring sketch' thing.
-
He's bulking up for The Real Ghostbusters Movie. Right? Right?
-
She's by far my current favorite from SNL. "Aaaooogah! Jalopy! Wha?"
-
Zach in a Santa sketch. Instant comedy.
-
Get your cast members straight, Anna - that's Jenny Slate in the car horn ads! You can't tell the new girls apart either?
-
was basically picked out of casting agents photo catalogue
-
When initially reading the heading
-
She funny as hell and she's the hottest girl on the show(and one of the hottest in the history of the franchise). I can't wait till they make her regular cast and I hope they let her be the new Sara Palin since she actually looks like her.
-
No ads before the ads. It used to be particularly frustrating when the ad was longer than the clip. Bravo, NBC.
-
Coming late to the Vampire Weekend party. Finally got around to listening to their first album, and I liked it more than I thought I would. Very catchy stuff bathed in detached irony; the Wes Anderson's House Band vibe I get when I hear that album is tough to detach. Their second and most recent album -- not quite as catchy, and although it could be my imagination, the lead singer is sounding more like Paul Simon than ever. "Giving Up the Gun" is probably the song that's the most fun to listen to, what with the punchy beat, spritely melody, and riffs from Radiohead's OK COMPUTER sprinkled throughout. I hope they'll play that tonight -- I'm looking forward to seeing what they sound like live.
-
Between Two Ferns = Comedy Gold. THE HANGOVER = One of the most shockingly disappointing uses of Movies On Demand I have ever experienced.
-
I have to go to work!
-
NONE of it was funny. NONE of it.
-
This show hasn't been worth watching in 30 YEARS.
-
I am not sure if anyone else caught it, but during their conversation Zach asked Jimmy if he ever just walked off a sketch because it sucked. Zach also kept on making fun of spoofs. I have a feeling he is not happy with the sketches they plan on doing, including some obvious Academy Award spoofs. I am no longer looking forward to this.
-
And they could not get him.
-
They never had a good one. Shearer only ever did a voice for him if I recall, and Hartman is dead, so I can understand if they didn't feel obligated to dig up Piscopo or those other guys.
-
I'm like 99% sure that even in it's present condition, Hartman's cadaver could probably still pull off a funnier sketch than Piscopo.
-
YES!
-
Bring back Watkins.
-
Pretty un-funny all around.And do away with the skits during the WEEKEND UPDATE as they ALWAYS suck ass, especially the black 'french' DJ. Fuck, that is so bad.
-
He's just a weirdo with a beardneck. I don't see the amusement in any of his muttering schtick; what's more I'm pretty sure I could find half a dozen homeless guys who are weirder, more muttering, and have better beards than him (in other words: are capable of doing Galifianakis' act better than he himself can) without having to look all too hard.
-
... together in a SNL promo! Bring in Richard Dunn.
-
...If they use Ed Helms seein as he was also in Hangover and is on a show on nbc... i admit Zach is funny, but i doubt he will work on snl (unless he pulls out the piano)
-
amen to that my brother
-
...was the greatest SNL performer EVER. FACT. Just had to get that off my chest.
-
A friend recommended it. Stars Gafagoogoo. That friend is no longer my friend.This man is allegedly a comedian... or at least a comic actor. Doesn't that mean he should make some form of attempt to bring the funny? I mean, why does this man try so hard to maintain an expressionless face at all times? Or is he not trying at all? Few comedians can pull this off well. Gaffalymics is not one of them.Maybe it's the beard. That overgrowth of hair he uses to disguise his inflated BMI.It's like there is a Hollowood suit out there saying, "Giamatti is getting old. We need a younger, humorless husk to replace him. Stat!"
-
Anytime they get someone that big, who isn't the least bit funny...it has to be REALLY hard to pitch them skits and stuff. Just think about trying to work with J-Lo. Shes a diva, if you piss her off or something, shell just walk. It has to be really tough on weeks like that. If she thinks something is funny, its GOING IN THE SHOW OR ELSE, and you know it. I'm sure the actors have significantly less freedom with someone like her compared to Galifinakis tonight. I'm sure he came up with the half the skits himself, whereas J-Lo sits aorund waiting for the skits to be written for her. Honestly, who is going to say to her "Yeah J-Lo, thats not really working out, could you try and do it this way instead?" No one.
-
He did study under the tutelage of Randy Tutelage.
-
...a live Between Two Ferns with Lorne tonight. Ooh, or Betty White. Or...at least make one a Digital Short.
-
I say it will be referenced at least 4 times.
-
Didn't stumble over Zach's name. Go, Don!
-
... counter-programming (or whatever the correct term is) but the local PBS station (UNC-TV) is running 'SCTV' in the same time slot as 'SNL' (usually they show 'Spooks'). I miss John Candy.
-
This monologue is great. And he's on the piano! Fuck yeah. This rules.
-
and Phil Hartman
-
OMG LOL BEST SNL in a LONGGG time and it's only been 5 minutes of Zach!
-
Damn, this monologue is good tonight!
-
He looks like him- who had this look first?
Also: ha at the monologue. Already this beats JLo's entire episode last week. -
Hope it continues.
-
instead of the long stories a la Jerry Seinfeld
-
Aw Christ no, not the fucking 'constant kissing' skit!
-
And it had nothing to do with Slate sucking.
-
...is one of most successful comedians of all time, according to Sinbad.
-
No fucking payoff.
-
Freeze!
-
fucking priceless
-
There goes the goodwill from the Zach G cameo bit.
-
Unlike Slate's Hoda compared to Watkins.
-
Should we be surprised that the two sketches that the host (probably) had the most input have been the two funniest of the night so far?
-
Think they confused Avatar with Titanic! ...though I do see some parallels but will take a future setting over a past setting every time! SNL still pwning... LOL and Zach shows up!
-
"So what? Who cares?" is so much funnier than....ahhahaha there's Zach.
-
Getting as much mileage out of the beard as possible.
-
"Amazing...It has absolutely no effect on her."
-
Hard to tell...
-
I freaking loved the Hoda and Kathy Lee bit - brilliant!
-
if Kennan keeps the wig on and the lights are off, i'm game for a fun night
-
Forte's songs kill!
-
I always kind of get the feeling that Zach could do something fraky.
-
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT???
-
What up with that!!
-

Did everyone just see that "Shes Out of My League" ad????
by shiftyeyeddog2
HOLY SHIT!!!! Did you see that chick in her underwear???!? Fuckin' SMOKIN!!!!
-
"Whip It". It's pretty good.
-
...so in true SNL tradition, they must do it every week.
-
Paul Rudd talking.
-
a recurring sketch? Can't they come up with any original material?
-
Now that we know that it's predictably bizarre.
-
tonight seemed to start out strong out of the gate but then quickly went nowhere..
-
has the done the we are the world type skit, where artist get together for a cause and each cast member impersonates famous musician and somehow Eddie Vedder is always part of it.
-
into the audience, through the halls, into the other studios in the building, maybe with the Today Show cast playing poker or something, then out of the building, the subway, etc. Obviously, it would cut to taped bits.
-
does the real Wolf Blitzer really slur his words like that?
Oh and of course Nasim is playing Amanpour. -
Hi from last week.
-
Great idea! Then they should really make it explode, kinda like Bjork's video, "It's Oh So Quiet"
-
She is Hotttttttt. Wooooooo.
-
any underwear shots.
-
Is there a name for it?
-
Black bra and panties and she was just PERFECTION
-
She's been in WAY too many sketches tonight.
-
better be worth it..
-
Well, did he??
-
HE SHAVED HIS FUCKING BEARD!!!
-
IS NO MORE!!! WHY!!!
-
And its already growing back!
-
you can see it's a chin cap, great makeup job though, it only at the edges you can see it's a cover
-
...but it was pretty fucking great.
-
could almost see up her dress to find out.
-

Zach Galifianakis should host SNL every week. It would be funny.
by orionsangels
Yes I googled zach galifianakis to find out how to spell it.
-
What??
-
Mar 07, 2010 12:01:02 AM CST
How much for the vampire girls? sell them to me. i want them.
by orionsangels
-
God dammit, Slate might've won me over with that sign off.
-
Man of Mystery, or LIES!!!!
-
Mar 07, 2010 12:06:06 AM CST
I am watchin it again on the HD & that cannot be a chin cap
by orionsangels
It's his real chin. I can see it in the sharpest quality imaginable. that's his real skin. If it was over his beard. it would be thicker and lumpy from the hairs beneath. the secret it is out. that's right kids...Zach Galifianakis wears a fake beard!!! -
He shaved during the second Vampire Weekend song. You can clearly see the stubble from where it was uneven. They attached a fake beard for the signoff which doesn't match his color and now his moustache doesn't meet the beard. Compare his facial hair to the picture right before it.
-
They gave the beard a buzzcut.
-
you could see it puffying out and where the made up skin tone met his own (up on the cheeks) zach's at the after party now and he's got a ful beard
-
He shaved, then fake beard for the goodnights. He's done the shave-the-beard bit a lot to do Seth Galifianakis. Genius. http://tinyurl.com/5fx9nx
-
How many chicks does Seth Myers have lined up to suck his cock? Also, if you see Lorne or Kenan there, pass my What's Up With That? idea along. I totally don't mind if you take all the credit for it either.
-
updated from Aintitcool for iphone
-
you are a sad little dude...the schtick is so old by now.
-
After Party = Jett's kitchen, a three-quarters-empty bottle of whiskey and a bowl full of goldfish crackers, and the guy with the full beard is Jett's drunken dad.
-
JettL1993 was wrong!
http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2010/03/zach-galifianakis-shaved-beard-off-during-saturday-night-live.html
I know, I know, Jett is usually reliable with all of his information. but in this one instance, shocking as it may seem, it appears he was lying. -
Even gay people think he's a faggot
-
he held down the 13 year old while Polanski raped her.
-
he loaded the guns on the Crow set when Brandon Lee was shot on the set of "The Crow"
-
He was the stunt coordinator on "The Twilight Zone Movie" when Vic Morrow and those two Vietnamese kids were decapitated by a helicopter.
-
he gave Phil Hartman's wife the gun.
-
He gave Fatty Arbuckle the beer bottle.
-
He loaded the blanks in John-Erik Hexum's gun.
-
...And I actually dig her stuff, but does she have to be the center of EVERY FUCKING SKETCH she's in?! She was even trying to upstage Zach in that last pageant bit!
In the same way we'll never know if Watkins could carry a skit, we'll also never know if Elliot can, because she gets booted to the side every time while Wiig hogs the limelight. I strongly suspect Wiig's using her movie roles to strongarm Lorne and the writers to bias every sketch in favor of her, lest she walk.
Quick prediction: Abby's days are numbered. So are Moynihan's. -
he has shaved several times to just the stache when he's appear on the jimmy kimmel show. You people act as if this is so out there, Zach's a good guy give him a break
-
Namely, overusing her to the exclusion of other cast members. Wiig is beautiful and talented. She could be a big star. But the insistence on shoehorning her into every sketch (even ones that don't work to her talents) is going to cause audience burnout and, ultimately, resentment. For her own good she needs to pull back a little.
-
Other than Hammond's Clinton leering at Michelle Obama it was all straight political commentary. Seriously. The "Demon Sheep" ad from California was funnier and that was a real campaign ad.
-
but last week was the absolute worst. If the bar is sitting on the ground and you don't trip over it you have succeeded. Say what you want about the new broads on SNL, and I agree the stout chick they shit canned was better, but you have to admit the new broads are cute as all hell. Especially the Arab wench.3...2...1...
-
but i'm not complaining, most of her characters kill me each time and as much as everyone oogles over abby, wigg is pretty hot herself with an amazing ass that she doesn't show off enough, seriously even in that pagent skit where she was in a track suit, her ass was like an appletear that up i would
-
Must be a few sketches missing from hulu, oh well. I wonder if Sudekeis was asked to tone down his dancing for the Wat up With Dat sketch? That had always been the only funny thing about the sketch (and I liked that he was the part of the sketch that kept getting the cheers), but it wasn't definitely lower key then usual.
-
Then appears live at the very end of the show with the beard. That was controversy, not that he shaved.
-
Would think Wigg is hot, since she looks like an ugly man. She's fucking annoying. Shes the new Molly Shannon.
-
Just curious, did the benny hill song actually play on Weekend Update during the episode, and just get edited out on hulu, or was not being able to get the rights to the song the actual joke?
-
Two bars - if I understand what a bar of music is - from Boots Randolph's recording of Yakkety Sax were used as an audio illustration of that police chase that was being referred to in that Weekend Update joke. Was that edited out of the online version? If so, your theory about the cost or difficulty of obtaining the musical rights for online uses as opposed to a one-time network broadcast usage is probably spot on.
-
Yea, during that part of Weekend Update on Hulu there is a voice over saying something to the effect that "right now you're supposed to be hearing the theme song to Benny Hill, but due to rights issues we are unable to play it." I wasn't able to tell if the voice over was being informative, or if that was actually the joke, now I know. Thanks!

no one is "getting on" Zach Galifianakis, we're making fun of your unfunny hack attempts at jokes, where you are repeatedly proven wrong. the "he didn't shave!" "he shaves all the time" nonsense is just the latest instance.
-
This show was a testament to what SNL could be--if it actually had funny people in the cast. Contrast Zach's opening monologue with the usual musical number gheyness that heads every other show and you'll see what I mean.
-
Definitely one of the funniest SNL's of the season. And for fuck's sake, you guys who take JettL seriously and think that HE takes himself seriously, get a goddam CLUE!!!
